Great Northern Beans

chocomonsta

can anyone explain what are Great Northern Beans in English as I dont think I have seen them here, are they called something else

I am trying to do some bulk recipes from 'Saving Diner' (Flylady) and the american terms are confusing me.

Cilantro I think is coriander - am I right

Top round steak - not worked that out yet

beef broth - is that the same as our beef broth tins of soup?

Thanks for your help - just waiting to go shopping now

Great Northern Beans - http://www.numarkpharmacists.com/hn/Food_Guide/Great_Northern_Beans.htm ............ Cilantro is the green leaves and stem of the coriander plant. Ground coriander is made from the seeds of the same plant.

I dont think that I have seen them on the shelves at Morrisons though. I will have to go and have alook again

There's a great thread called "Thos Crazy Americans" or something like that where someone kindly posted a questions and answers thread about all things American, names, measurements etc. I'll see if I can find it........

They look like cannellini beans to me. But, I should think any white bean would do, to be honest you'd be hard pressed to taste the difference between a cannellini bean and a haricot bean. Just go for the cheapest

I haved used the kind of beans that baked beans are made from in place of Northern beans - I am having a forgetful moment - are they haricot or something?

Just asked DH about the steak - he has been a butcher both there and over here - he says the equivelent to top round steak is top side steak.

hth!
