A succotash prepared with kidney beans.
Succotash (from Narragansett sohquttahhash, “broken corn kernels”[1]) is a food dish consisting primarily of corn and lima beans or other shell beans.[2] Other ingredients may be added including tomatoes and green or sweet red peppers.[2] Because of the relatively inexpensive and more readily available ingredients, the dish was popular during the Great Depression in the United States. It was sometimes cooked in a casserole form, often with a light pie crust on top as in a traditional pot pie. Succotash is a traditional dish of many Thanksgiving celebrations in New England[3] as well as in Pennsylvania and other states. In some parts of the American South, any mixture of vegetables prepared with lima beans and topped with lard or butter is called succotash. The American Indians of the northeastern woodlands were the first to prepare the dish.
“Sufferin’ succotash”
“Sufferin’ succotash” is a catchphrase of the Warner Bros. cartoon cat Sylvester,[4] also used less often by Daffy Duck. The Depression-era exclamation is said to be a minced oath of “suffering savior“.
