    		Don't be such a woosie, mibs; there are all kinds of beans in the world. First thing that comes to mind to me is succotash, which uses corn and green beans as the main ingredients. Southern renditions include red bell peppers and lots of onion.

    		Definitely succotash. However, I've always wondered, what is the origin of the name? Is it a Native-American word?

    P.S. to robboy: where I come from, soccotash was made with corn and lima beans.

    		You're absolutely right, lanfranco. I had limas pictured and wrote green beans instead. Also forgot the tomatoes we like down here. Succotash is indeed a Native American word, derived from the Naragansetts of the upper east coast.

    It is 1800 and I am Napoleon's chef. As is his custom during a battle the Emperor has eaten nothing. Now that he has triumphed however, he has commanded me to prepare a meal for him. The difficulty is that we have advanced a long way in front of the supply wagons. Men I dispatch in search of provisions return with three eggs, four tomatoes, six crayfish, a small hen, a little garlic, some oil and a saucepan. From these ingredients I create a dish which moves my master to say, "You must prepare this dish for me after every battle." Who am I, and what is the name of the dish?
