A poll regarding a particular sort of food

[damont]

Something that occurred weekend before last has prompted me to ask this of the folks who read this post.

Where I grew up, it's reasonably common for green beans -- either snap beans or "Italian" flat beans -- to be served with tomato sauce. I'm wondering what others think of this dish. I may discuss the poll results later in a comment.

I love green beans. I hate, *hate*, HATE tomatoes in any form above all other foods.

I've only encountered the combo in diners that serve the traditional diner menu but are run by Greeks. (Which is a surprising percentage of them.) When I asked why the combination, I was told it was the traditional Greek way of serving green beans. And they never mention the tomatoes on the menu; I've learned to always ask.

Oy. At least the diners in NJ *say* it's green beans marinara.
