Why is it that everything on this platform is about Linux, Star Trek and beans?
Is there more to life?
Watching Barbie, now available on Blu-Ray, of course!
Hey, the Golden Globes is in January and the Oscars are in March, and I really, really want to be a winner instead of a nominee this year, can you blame me?
When you do win, you should take a selfie on stage and only post it here.
Just to fuck with everybody.
But... Lemmy is still too small right now, and the longer I wait, the funnier it gets, right?
We sometimes talk about not pooping...
Well, have I got a solution for you. Have you ever heard of beans?
That guy, Mizu, deleted his account...
Thank you Margot you bring a light to this beanchamber
It's bean pretty fun. 🫘
Free market doing its job, baby!
Beans (Japanese sweets)
Are they real beans that taste sweet or sweats that look like beans?
Red Bean Paste. It's often sweetened and used as a filling in a lot of Japanese pastries and desserts.
Ya'll are missing out. Mochi with red bean paste is amazing. It's about the sweet and savory combination. Pretty similar to how halva works.
Hmm, maybe somewhere in between?
Beans (the furry kind)

Frijoles>beans
Not when I was stocking them. People got sooooooooooooooooo mad that they couldn't find the "beans".

No, no this can't be it!
Beans (asturian* food):

American: Beans with your eggs and bacon? Disgusting.

Grits are mostly a southern thing. That said, they are absolutely awful IMO. I'd sooner try British beans with my breakfast.
Off topic, but yesterday I tried a tamale for the first time. Apparently they're a common Christmas food in Mexico, so my boss brought some to our party. The first bite or two were strange (as a very picky US-American), but then it was really good! 10/10 would recommend and all that
Best use of my pressure cooker*! Bulk black and pinto beans, 40m in the cooker with water and salt, then onto the stove with sauteed onions and garlic, a fair amount of oil, apple cider vinegar, pickled jalapeno or two, spices... absolutely fantastic with some rice. And our toddler loves it too.
*Instant Pot, but pressure cooker sounds more... haute cuisine.
Baked beans are top tier, tasty and good for protein. Also good for farting.
British people also have mashed peas as their guacamole-but-not.
And yet if a fancy restaurant does pea puree, people are all over it.
Mushy peas are made from a specific variety (marrowfat) that were selectively bred to be softer and have a nicer texture when pureed. People are just snobby about it, baked beans, and food like it because it's working class food, without being fetishised 'exotic' working class food.
Beans (The java + spring kind)
And then there's Southern American, Beans, hamhock, bacon, onions, cornbread. Amazing meal in the winter.
Actually accurate given the end result of this episode.
Mexican beans pale in comparison the majesty of the British baked bean.
Maybe if you've only had Mexican food made in Britain? Baked beans are good but relatively one dimensional. In Mexico, beans, rice, and corn are the staples of most meals. They're eating them at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Children have mashed beans and rice as their first solid food.
Do you think British people eat baked beans with every meal? They do in Mexico. They obviously make them in better and more varied ways.
Corn is the same. I prefer the pale non-sweet corn from Mexico much more.
Same thing with rice.
Then there's beans, Québec maple style.
It's similar to British baked beans, but baked with lard and maple syrup.
Nothing can match that.
Having lived in the UK and near the US southern border, they’re both great. Charro and frijoles are sublime, and Heinz baked beans are a superb side dish for potato or meat.
I still can’t enjoy sweet BBQ beans though, Bush’s just tastes like corn syrup with fiber blobs 🤮
