Nope.  Actually they are firmer than most cooked legumes (beans, 
lentils, etc.)  Sort of the tenderness that you would want from 
kidney beans in chili.  Not mushy, but not crunchy.  They are usually 
salted (although a current phase right now is usuing cajun crab boil 
on them)  They are quite tasty although I will admit fattening and 
sodium rich.

They take forever to cook unless you use a pressure cooker, in which 
they don't take quite that long.  You boil them in the shells and 
they are better eaten hot than cold and fresh than canned.
