I’m probably going to sound like a space alien, but enough beans to feed a grown man costs two dollars a day. The beans are nutritious and relatively palatable. When I’m left to my own devices, I eat mostly beans. Because I’m rich, I buy the canned ones so that I don’t need to cook.
Chickpeas are my favorite. I enjoy the taste of them right out of the can. They dry ones are also good if soaked overnight in cold water and then eaten without further preparation. They become pleasantly crunchy, like nuts.
