The History Behind "Bean Town"
-- Baked beans originated during colonial times in New England when women
would make them for Saturday dinner. (World Book Encyclopedia, 1998)
-- Leftovers would be served for Sunday breakfast and lunch since cooking

during summer holidays (3,717,000 vs. 2,102,000 pounds).
