 dd->       Title: Leather Britches Beans (Fodder Beans)

 ->   String very full beans as you would for cooking, but do not
 ->   break them. Thread beans on twine, using just enough beans
 ->   on each string for one or two meals. Then drop them into a
 ->   brine of 1/2 cup coarse salt and one gallon of water for 15
 ->   minutes. Drain on newspaper. The brine will keep bugs away
 ->   from your beans. Hang the strings of beans on wire or rope
 ->   in a dry place for at least three weeks. Make sure they are
 ->   completely dry or they will mold.
 ->
 ->   Prior to cooking the dried beans, pour lots of boiling water
 ->   over the beans and soak overnight. In the morning, wash the
 ->   beans well and cover with water in a pan. Cook for 2 hours;
 ->   then add salt, lard or bacon grease, and pepper. Finish
 ->   cooking about 2 hours more, adding water as needed.

Sometimes I save recipes for their curiosity value or for historical reasons.
Like some of the recipes from the Foxfire series of books - which I would never
essay and attempt to make. But, which are interesting, nonetheless. And I *had*
mentioned fodder in the body of the post.   Bv)=

BTW - the leather breeches beans recipe was from page 175 of the original
Foxfire book.
