I personal perfer the dried because the canned beans have a weird taste.    The dried are more work but I feel the end result is worth the effort.  I do enjoy food and cooking.... as well being as a bit of a food snob.  ( I admit it, it is out there for everyone to read.)  We actual cook every night we are home.
   I just want to know if  anyone else find that canned beans taste funny.  Also, if there are people are people out there who think dried are the only way to go.
