IS THE CROCKPOT HALF EMPTY?

Research reveals that lima beans are disappearing from shul kiddush chulents.
A popular pastime in Judaism, the kiddush, has become a controversial "hot-plate” issue. In the past few years kiddush-goers have began to notice a disturbing trend, no more lima beans in their bowls. It seems that people were buying pre-mix chulent bean bags and didn’t add other bean types.
A poll was conducted at last years Kosherfest (the Acadamy Awards of kosher food) in the Javits Center in NY and many were outraged at the blatant omission of Lima Beans from the mix”. "We are outraged at the blatant omission of Lima beans from the mix", said a very uninventive source.
Further research was done using a blindfolding testing method. When tasters were blindfold they confirmed that they could indeed not see much at all.
And as in every facet of Judaism there was some with a different opinion. "I barely notice the taste difference", said Steve Shwartzburgman, inventor and exhibitor of Edible Besomim Delights,( and lone dissenter in the fight against lima beans) "my wife just adds honey and hot dogs". Coincidently, this man was later found beaten to within inches of his life in a nearby parking garage. .
After an in-depth investigation of the dark behind-the-scenes of local legume plant, we uncovered some interesting information leading to the changes in mix formula (sans lima). A source, wishing to remain anonymous, said "the new boss is European".
A representative for the coalition of Lima Bean Lovers of America (the LBLA), said that ad campaigns are in place to re-introduce the lima bean in various new flavors like kishka-barley and flanken flavors. "We think that people will rediscover the joys of lima beans”
