Haricot
A tier
Haricot is the British/French-influenced name for small white beans—navy equivalents used in English breakfast beans and French cassoulet-adjacent small whites (distinct from Tarbais giants). Mild and creamy. Tomato-sauce breakfast beans; white bean salads. Interchangeable with navy in most recipes. Language differs more than flavour.
