Culinary question

Question

Does anyone know how 'Black eyed beans' translates into Spanish please - and whether they should be available here in Spain? They're widely eaten in South America of course.

Many thanks.

Three possibilities: frijoles negros con pecado/frijoles de carita or carete/frijoles caritas. Thanks all. - pml222, Oct 5, 2014

"Frijoles negros con pecado" es el mejor nombre porque prepararlos sin quitarles el gas es un pecado imperdonable - 005faa61, Oct 5, 2014

Answer 2

Frijol de ojo negro?

Thanks annierats. That came up in Translate but I wasn't sure if it would be so literal. I don't want to spend too much time looking for the wrong thing in the supermarkets! Many thanks ;-) - pml222, Oct 5, 2014
