        All memes and jokes aside it’s really good stuff if you can find it at your local grocery store. It has a recipe on the back and comes with the seasoning in the bag. Just add meat and some veggies.

          One of my fall recipes is lentil soup with carrot, onion, celery and garlic. I think the same would work well here. Any other suggestions?

            Actually that 15 bean soup has a few lentil varieties in it already.

            Also look up Tuscan bean soup, that’s a good one too.

            And of course a hearty chili WITH BEANS because that’s the best kind of chili and I’ll fight anyone that says otherwise.

            And for a dessert treat try Japanese red bean soup. It’s a great winter dessert.

      Unfortunately, neither vanilla nor coffee beans are actual beans

    We need to address this gap in bean coverage. Where are the two-bean salads?

      Two-bean or not two-bean, that is the question;

      A burrito bowl with both black and pinto beans would be lit, and probably not that strange for a vegetarian.

    Why salad variety of beans after Heinz. You can get five bean baked beans too.

      What makes prepared beans a salad or not? Beans are a starch, but were not included in the cube rule for foods. Is there a soup, stew, or salad rule for beans? I’ve subscribed to Deconceptualist’s Bean Facts in tho hopes of learning such things. With study perhaps someday I can reach beanlightenment.

        Beans are a starch

        Beans are more than that. Beans/legumes/pulses are, as the children’s song suggests, magical (even if they are not fruit).

        They can take the place of meat or other proteins, like in a stew/chili/curry, a proteiny topping on rice/pasta, slabs of tofu, or even as a sandwich stuffing (falafel in pita, black bean burger in bun, peanut butter in a sandwich, filling in a burrito).

        They can take the place of starch, as in a bean porridge or baked beans in some circumstances.

        They can act as a green vegetable, as green beans or edamame or peas.

        They can be a handy ready-to-eat snack, like peanuts or wasabi peas.

        They’re a sweet filling for desserts, like peanut butter or peanut brittle or whole peanuts in chocolate bars, or Chinese red bean paste, or all sorts of Vietnamese and Thai dishes.

        Even on the non-food side of things they’re excellent high protein feed for livestock, green “manure” for nitrogen fixation in soil, and useful for production of various industrial chemicals and materials.

    Those are completely different beans. Those are the gross nasty beans. Get those beans outta here.
