After vanilla bean and soy bean, what’s the third bean?

Edit: I feel stupid

    Peanut butter is just refried beans.

    Peanut butter is mashed peanuts. More like hummus than refried beans. The refried part involves cooking them a second time.

    I mean, refried comes from spanish refrito which just means 'fried well'. a dish that is called refrito doesn't necessarily involve cooking ingredients twice. although in this case you do boil the beans first and then fry them, the name doesn't actually mean you fry the beans twice as it sounds like it does

    And clam chowder is just a savory latte with bugs in it.

    Mm, luckily "vanilla beans" aren't actually beans. I think the people can handle the idea of a two-bean soup much better, don't you?

    No, no. I think it’s time. It’s going to be tough, but I do think you’re old enough for me to answer some difficult questions. You see, son, vanilla beans aren’t actually beans. I’m sorry you had to learn this way, but sadly, that’s not all. Coffee beans are not actually beans at all. No… I’m sorry, kiddo — what you’ve been drinking all these years is soy sauce.

    Coffee is technically tea, but then bay broth (a foundation for chicken soup) is also technically tea.

    I thought technically its only tea if it comes from a tea plant (otherwise its just a different hot water extract) but people will call everything prepared the same way (tea kettle and some kind of filter) a "tea" similar to how some people will call any kind of cola a "coke"

    It's technically an infusion though I don't know if that changes between hot or cold water. But I think teas are arbitrarily determined: We decided that the black tea plants are teas and the weeds next to them are not based entirely on choice.

    Coke is a specific trademark connected to specific recipes. But colas are all based on the cola bean, and some decent ones that get close to Coca-cola and Pepsi-cola.

    How does coffee become a bean? Sure we call it that but the coffee fruit is called a cherry and the "bean" is the pit.

    A very thin soup. How about 3 bean consommé?

    Does that make an iced cappuccino a gazpacho?

    Nope two bean. Coffe "beans" are seeds.

    Would be more of a broth or a tea no? There’s no substance which a soup usually has.

    I was about to comment "one of those isn't", then realized I was think of cinnamon for some reason.

    I eat four bean soup. If they only got three beans, I ain’t eating it.
