Succotash is a culinary dish consisting primarily of sweet corn with lima beans or other shell beans. It is often combined with a variety of other vegetables, such as tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions. Originating from the indigenous Native American cuisine, its name is derived from the Narragansett word "msíckquatash," meaning "boiled whole kernels of corn." It became popular during the Great Depression due to its affordable ingredients and is traditionally associated with Thanksgiving in the United States.
