Bean pot liquor is the extremely sumptuous and fortifying liquid left after cooking a pot of beans. When I first heard the phrase, I just assumed it was spelled “pot licker,” thinking that it was a delightful way to describe something so delicious you just couldn’t be stopped from licking the pot. Turns out if you put “pot licker” on a menu (or maybe in a book), some people will send you terse emails noting the misspellings and calling you a dummy. Sticks and stones, I still think the turn of phrase is funny (and true). Should you disagree, my email is potlickerlover@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
