11 and eventually the connection

Speaking of connections, it was today I learned that Lima beans were connected to the city name, but I guess they came originally from around there.  We pronounced the city and the bean differently, in my defence.

I'll be honest, "butter beans" sets you up for disappointment, kind of like "marrow fat peas".
