Pinto beans. Throw in a few more foods in Hindi, and I'll translate them too, while I'm here; I've got good reference books handy with names in both English and Hindi.

    When posting or editing, click the little icon (image or picture) that looks like a painting. It's right next to the {} symbols. – BobMcGee Jul 01 '11 at 05:15
  • I know about the IMG tags, but I didn't know how to get the photo from another website in these IMG tags. Perhaps we simply include the url :eek: – Aquarius_Girl Jul 01 '11 at 05:16
  • and why did you label this as Indian cusine? :) Don't Americans cook this lentil? – Aquarius_Girl Jul 01 '11 at 05:17

    Stack Overflow has a relationship with the Imgur image hosting service. It uses them and brings up a mini upload page if you click the icon. Or, you can upload there and use the URL if you prefer. – BobMcGee Jul 01 '11 at 05:18
  • I labelled it as "indian cuisine" because it needs tags besides "beans" and I couldn't think of a better tag to use. I'm trying to decide on one now. – BobMcGee Jul 01 '11 at 05:20

  • It is taking a long amount of time to load that login page of chat link, besides _food_names_ is nice tag, at least better than the previous one. Thanks again for your help. – Aquarius_Girl Jul 01 '11 at 06:07
