Part of a Menu
I am working on a buffet menu, and one of the salad options is "Feijão catarino, abobrinha e Morcela Portuguesa". I have managed to find pictures of this type of bean on the Internet, but haven't come up with the English term for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Tonia

I think you're on the right track, Tonia. I had seen a picture of catarino beans and they seemed white like haricot beans. However, these links you pasted show "feijão catarino" a spotted pinkish-like bean (very similar to what I buy here in Argentina where I can't find good "feijão" and locally called "poroto regina"). It's also a bit larger than other varieties - "feijão carioquinha" is, by the way, smaller than pinto beans.

Note from asker:
| I really appreciate your help and time on this term. I looked up a few sites with photos of haricot beans, and they don't look like the pictures of "Catarino" beans I have found. I am pasting the links of the two sites for you to see. It looks to me more like a pinto bean, as haricot is listed as "navy" bean also (which is small and white). This is quite a frustrating little bean! Thanks again! :) Tonia http://rapotacho.blogspot.com/2006/11/feijo-arroz.html http://www.foodsubs.com/Beans.html#navy |

Obrigada, Nadia! Great to know I'll be able to eat "feijão" if I go to the UK!

catarino beans
Suggest you do not translate "catarino". Leave it as "catarino beans", which are a type of bean ( similar to the "feijão fradinho", much used for soups in Portugal - in Ribatejo, I presume). Consider that there was a large migration of Portuguese people, maily from the Azores to the State of Saint Catherine.

| Thank you for your suggestion. I did find a couple of sites that left it as "catarino beans". I will wait to see if any more suggestions come in, but will probably leave it as that. Thank you for your help! I appreciate it! :) |

: I found it translated into French as "haricots catarino" so why not "catarino beans"? http://www.portugal-tchat.com/achat-en-ligne-produits-portug...

Sugar Beans
This is a real shot in the dark but I found this translation on the internet. I couldn't find a picture of feijão catarino but the attached site has a picture of sugar beans.

| Thank you very much for your suggestion. I took a look at the site, but the sugar beans still don't look like the photo of the "catarino" beans I found online. See what you think...I am stuck on this one! http://rapotacho.blogspot.com/2006/11/feijo-arroz.html http://www.foodsubs.com/Beans.html#navy Thanks again! Tonia :) |

borlotti bean
I just revised a text and, on the strength of the suggested translation here, changed the translator's choice from borlotti beans to haricot beans. However, the translator objected, and he was correct to do so. I did an image search on Google for "feijão catarino" and then for "borlotti beans", and the images were identical. Haricot beans are white, "catarino" and borlotti beans have red marks on them. Check the links http://bit.ly/borlottibeans, http://bit.ly/2xEZfUj and http://bit.ly/haricotbeans

Although I have typically seen "Feijão rajado" or "feijão carioquinha" used for pinto bean, after further research and studying pictures of pinto beans, I believe that is is another option. Any final suggestions?
