    I'm Asian American and I had the opportunity to try bean pie once but they're kinda hard to find where I live. Asian cuisine also sometimes uses beans in it's desserts (red beans). I'd describe the bean pie filling as tasting similar to an eggnog custard. Would recommend!

    Lana’s Bean Pie, from Cooking for the Champ: Muhammad Ali’s Favorite Recipes by Lana Shabazz (Jones-McMillon, 1979). The Muslims come out of Newark, New Jersey's Muhammad's Mosque #25 was held in high regard throughout the Nation of Islam. When a group of brothers and sisters from Muhammad's Mosque #25 began pursuing careers in the boxing industry, Muhammad Ali was at the height of his comeback.
    Many times, back in the days when we ( Muslims from Mosque #25) worked and traveled with Muhammad Ali and Murad Muhammad. We had a lot of time together with many of the leaders of the Nation of Islam and the family of Elijah and Clara Muhammad.
    So we were blessed with many opportunities to have a personal relationships with many of our pioneer Muslim leaders in the Nation of Islam.
    We heard many authentic stories. Stories from elderly Muslims who were there when it happened tell about the nuances of the struggles of the Muslims during those early years of the Muslim development in America.
    So, one day sometime in the late '70s, a group of "Bean Pie Eaten" Muslim brothers from Newark Masjid Muhammad (mosque #25) (pictured below) were all up at the Dear Lake Training Camp where Muhammad Ali trained.
    The conversation was between the older Muslims, but we, young brothers, we were listing to the pioneer Muslims.
    Among others was Minister Clyde Rahman, Sister Lana Shabaaz, and Minister Jeremiah Shabazz, and there were a few others who were all telling stories about the Bean Pie and the Bean Soup.
    When Lana Shabaaz said to us young brothers, she said: she doesn't feed Ali bean pie before he fights, she said: "Brother don't Y'all eat too much of the Bean Pie/Soup! Then, She explained: Elijah knew there was something about the bean that when you eat it, it will make you docile...
    I remember Jeremiah Shabazz chimed in and added, he said: that the goal of the Muslims is to be peaceful, to be submissive. He said that Elijah Muhammad wanted you to listen, and when someone is docile, he is easily taught or handled. ...
    If you behave well and do what people tell you to do, you're a docile person, he went on to say that Elijah Muhammad wanted the Muslims to be compliant so that we could successfully separate our desires from the oppressor's hold over us.
    The Bean Pie and the Soup represented a path to freedom.

She's a 100 years old and pretty well used up, but I made some sweet potato pies. The first couple of batches got thrown out, but the third time was a charm. I took her a hunk of it. How does it taste I asked. "Second best I ever had", she said. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad ( May Allah Be Pleased With Him) was ways ahead of his time. He is to be studied from up close and from afar. Not many things that he did not know. Blessings on the nation.
