Unless you don't like beans.
Source: I don't like beans.
I'm pretty sure that makes you an unclean heretic round these parts 🤷
Probably. But I can't help what I don't like the taste of. Sorry, I'll be getting into the wicker man in a few minutes.
No worries, I have a brother who doesn't like coffee and we've yet to burn him 🤷
That just means there is something wrong. Something wrong with you, that is.
Try them air fried. Totally changes the texture.
Will they still taste like beans?
All beans taste different so I guess I don't understand the question. A garbanzo is way different from a kidney and both way different from a butter bean.
And yet almost all of them have a basic 'bean' taste to them that I don't like. You remind me of people who tell me I just haven't had the right olive when I say I don't like olives.
I mean it's like you think I have to enjoy eating the same things you do.
Peas are part of the same family as beans. Do sweat peas taste like "beans"?
I don't think you have to like the same things I like, but I also don't think I believe it when someone writes off an entire family of plants. At least all olives are the same species. Legumes have such a huge variety that it's hard to grasp the idea of disliking them all.
What part of "almost all" is unclear to you?
I'm sorry, I'm not going to like most beans no matter how hard you try to talk me into enjoying their generally common basic flavor.
Show us on this doll where the bean touched you
Right in the butt. Because it's the musical fruit.
Truth. Stay strong, anti-bean warrior. Don't let the bean stans sway you.
PS, I fucking love beans
That's because I don't actually believe they have a generally common basic flavor?
Also, peas and rice are also a perfectly acceptable way to get protein.
I'm sorry you can't believe that I taste something, but I still taste it whether you believe it or not.
Do you think I'm lying? Why on Earth would I lie about this?
I think you're mistaken because I was mistaken for most of my life. If you asked me five years ago I'd also say I disliked beans.
I hated steak well into my 20s because I'd inadvertently always eaten it well done and thought that's just how it comes. Since discovering the rare end of the spectrum, I now love steak
I'm not going to try every variety of bean in the world just to find out there are a handful of beans other than some peas that I might possibly like. Just like I'm not going to try every variety of olive I like just to find out if there's one I don't hate.
Why does this even matter to you? You eat what you like and I'll eat what I like. Notice I haven't even asked you what you eat and if you told me you didn't like, for example, fish, I wouldn't keep pressing you because there are lots of types of fish and you just haven't tried the right fish and I thought I didn't like fish so you're mistaken for not liking fish. Would you enjoy it if I kept pressing you on it or do you think you might consider that rude?
Again, olives are all the same species. It's reasonable to not like olives. (I don't much like them either, I prefer nut oils)
Legumes are not all the same species, I think it's reasonable to try other species.
And I just think you might be missing out. It's sad when people don't try foods they might like because they think they don't.
Again, why does this matter to you? Why do you care so much about what a stranger chooses to do? Am I hurting anyone? Am I being highly immoral? What is the deal here?
Well like I said, I thought I disliked beans most of my life. I was missing out. All those wasted years!
I care about strangers. That's all.
Again- Am I hurting anyone? Am I doing anything immoral? Am I even risking my health?
If you cared about me, maybe you'd have stopped haranguing me about this when I explained to you that I found it rude.
I think you're hurting yourself by depriving yourself of an opportunity for delicious food.
Also it's an online conversation, you can disengage whenever you want. It's not like I'm a door-to-door evangelist trying to preach the glory of beans.
Bro, if you start a quarterly newsletter preaching the glory of beans, I’m in.
Hurting myself? Really? How does it hurt me?
Depriving yourself of a good food because you've given up trying.
I'm pretty sure that doesn't hurt me since I'm okay with that.
And I'm also pretty sure "eat different types of beans until you find a type you like" is not something most doctors would consider sound medical advice.
So I don't think I'm hurting myself.
If anything, the person who sounds hurt here is you, because I am insulting the mighty bean.
I'm hurt because I wasted so many years not eating something delicious.
I just want to save others from the same fate!
I see, but you don't care about hurting others by being rude.
Were you hurt by my advocating for beans?
No, but you clearly didn't care whether I was or not because I told you that you were being rude.
So your claim that you care about me is simply a lie.
I'll prove it!
