One thing my older brothers used tell me was that the beans in pork and beans were actually little skins filled with mashed potatoes. That factories had little hooks on assembly lines with the skins hanging and they would be filled with mashed potatoes. I would peel my beans at dinner and it certainly looked like mashed potatoes so it made sense to me.
