Hey, it's not the beans' fault that Bri*ish people abuse them in such a horrid way.

    Reminds me of the time I got talking about food at my old job and I mentioned a simple pinto bean soup maybe with a little melted cheese and corn tortillas being legit childhood comfort meal (and what I was going to have when I got home) and my British coworker couldn't get over seeing it as hardcore poverty struggle food.

    Still not sure what's supposed to be wrong with beanies on toast.

    Nothing would be wrong if it wasn't baked beanis. You could put beanis of any flavor on toast and you choose baked beanis? Why?

    I mean there's definitely a way to make beans work as a dessert, key word dessert

    China and Japan and most of Asia love their sweet red bean paste desserts and they're right, those are tasty as hell and go great with tea

    the problem with baked beanis starts with it being sweet while still being part of the main meal (which in of itself isn't necessarily a problem, see sweet plantains and how good they go with a plate of rice and beans) but then it's made worse due to the vinegar and the overpowering ketchup flavor

    Beans, beans, the musical fruit.

    The more you eat, the more you toot.

    The more you toot, the better you feel.

    So eat your beans with every meal!

    I thought I hated beans as a teen because the only exposure I had was baked beans. 😞

    A genuine tragedy. Beanis is the best thing to ever happen to my diet

    Discovering I could put beans in the air fryer changed everything for me.

    They're so good! 200C for 10 minutes, some salt and oil, and they split open and become a little crispy. My favorites to airfry are garbanzos, I'll season them and eat them by the handful lol

    Oh fuck, I have some black chickpeas that just finished soaking. I normally roast them but they get quite dry as they cool. Is this still an issue when airfried?

    What about Beans (Brazilian food)? Maybe even beans (latin American food)

    There are beanis in almost every cuisine really. It would take too long to compare them all and defeat the purpose. Regardless, Beanis (British food) is certainly near the bottom.

    Imo, the hierarchy of beanis is unknowable to mere mortals

    Baked beans are only good if they're so hot that you can't taste them. As soon as they cool down to "warm" they're inedible.
