Gonna give this to my wife. I love lima beans.
Why are lima beans and Lima Peru pronounced differently?
Maybe because lima beans are English and Lima, Peru, isn't? LOL!
English Lima beans = E.L. beans. El beans is obviously South American. Therefore, I don't think lima beans are English.
:-)
Mark:
Yes, you're correct. Lima beans are South American.

Just so you know, the authentic cheese is queso fresco, which you can find in Latin American food stores. :)
