Donald's Link's excellent 2009 book, REAL CAJUN (Potter) has terrific recipes for Black Eyed Peas and Limas, but nothing for the region's most popular Red Bean. What gives?

Well, Link is representing Acadiana and his personal cooking style in his book, not the cuisine of New Orleans. While red beans are the most popular bean in NOLA, white beans, baby green limas, and blackeyed peas (and other related peas like purplehulls) are equally popular all over cajun country. A standard Friday lunch special in my part of LA is white beans & fried fish (or fried shrimp).
