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?
For peak comedy, take the photo but don’t post it here
Endless bean content
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)
As a Latino, the first time trying sweet beans in a pastry was so alarming. I still don’t like them, it’s so weird. Now sweet, fried plantains with a side of refried beans and avocado? Yes please!
Avocado shake was strange to me as well but it’s not bad
What? Red bean paste filling is one of the most delicious mochi fillings! Don´t be a bean Nazi.
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?
An acquaintance of mine bought an ice cream in china thinking it to be grapes or something, but it was bean ice cream, they were pretty shocked. But anyway sweet bean paste in pastry is really good, and seems to be popular in all of the Asia
Beans (the furry kind)

Frijoles>beans
Not when I was stocking them. People got sooooooooooooooooo mad that they couldn’t find the “beans”.
looks at a label with a big picture of beans on it
No, no this can’t be it!
People shit on British food and come over here and make out its the best thing ever.
I couldn’t convince my girlfriend to try my pie with veggies and fat chips all covered in gravy. Then she ate it and said “actually that’s really nice”.
Like of course its a pie covered in gravy!
“british food” has come to mean “british food from ration times”, which is obviously going to result in it being dogshit because people had to stretch a hunk of ham over an entire week.
I think it’s more of a meme than real at this point. Most of the time when I see “British food”, I think it looks pretty good, even if it’s not flashy.
Always cracks me up when Americans diss British food. Many have no idea how many American staple foods originate from Britain, especially in the Midwest.
And traditional dishes like corned beef and cabbage. I love me some corned beef with lots of mustard. And cabbage, you can eat it by the head and it has so few calories plus it has lots of vit c and fiber. It is excellent diet food.
I mean, it’s the best thing available
I can taste how much butter you put in the dough
No, that’s French cooking ;)
Go look at any chef making food.
He’s an American chef making carrots.
There is great english food. It’s just that your average brit ain’t making it either. Ive been to Bournemouth on a school language program several times and we had amazing Yorkshire Pudding and more good stuff once. But we also had Microwaved raw Broccoli with soggy disgusting Pizza another time.
Also: You guys have an unhealthy obsession with vinegar.
Vinegar is better than salt or fat.
Vinegar is fucking awesome. Can’t have chips without it. Its just wrong.
Right, because Fish&Chips doesnt contain any of that Salt and fat.^/s
Truth be told, every nation has their food quirks. It’s just that from my german pov all your vinegar chips are disgusting. Chips and Crisps need Salt amd probably also paprika to be perfect. But that’s decidedly german.
The UK has some of the best produce in the world. What the average person at home does is of course something else but that’s no different in a lot of countries.
As someone mentioned rationing didn’t help the image but also the drabness of industrial canned food in the brown seventies. And people just forgot how to cook.
Beans, Beans,
they’re a hit!
The more you eat,
the more you shit!
The more you shit,
the better you feel,
so eat beans for every meal!Beans, Beans, The magical fruit, The more you eat, The more you toot, The more you toot, The better you feel, So eat some beans with every meal!
Beans, Beans, They’re good for your heart, The more you eat, The more you fart, The more you fart, The better you feel, So eat some beans with every meal!
… they’re the same picture
Sounds like you need go eat some beans ;)
Beans, Beans They’re good for your heart The more you eat, The more you fart. The more you fart, The more you eat, The more you sit on the toilet seat!

Served raw with milk steak boiled over hard
I suppose I’ll be taking my milk steak to go then?
Isn’t that just refried beans?
And?

Beans (every flavour)
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.
You can’t have Mexican food without hominy.
Hominy hominy 😉
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
this comment actually made me upset I’ve realized we’re halfway through December and I haven’t had tamales yet
Beans (asturian* food):
*One of Spain’s northern regions
(Viva la fabada)
Wow it’s so beautiful I had to google Asturias to confirm it’s real.
wait till you learn about the song of the same name…
Beans?
this is the song “Asturias (Leyenda)” by I. Albeniz
I’m curious about that Beans song you mentioned?
Thanks for sharing!
And maybe it was this one https://music.apple.com/us/album/look-at-them-beans/362607369?i=362607433
thanks for sharing also!

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.
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.
I imagine here in the US people would think pea puree was too much like baby food. Of course, if you’ve ever tried baby food, some of it is pretty darn good, so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just had baked beans on toast with eggs today. Made them myself with onions, mushrooms, garlic, smoked paprika powder, a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon and a shot of maple syrup. It tasted great and I am not even English.
I would try this if I weren’t a) a bad cook and b) terrified
Well you used spices and things with flavor, so it’s not very British.
If you’re going to ignore the entirety of British-indian cuisine, then Americans really shouldn’t be calling Mexican food their tastiest creation.
Are you not aware that a British national dish is Chicken tikka masala?
Brit here. National dish is fish and chips or a roast, tikka masala is top 3 but not number 1.
Oh come on lad! I am defending you guys here and you have nothing better to do than back stabbing me?
Also:
Chicken Tikka Massala is now a true British national dish
Robin Cook, British foreign minister, 2001
If you think a friendly debate like that is backstabbing you clearly haven’t been to south London
Never mind, I´m just being ironic :)
Fish and chips is the other national dish, and the first one. While I like it, it isn’t exactly full of flavor.
Classic British cuisine doesn’t really have spices, because the British Isles don’t really have too many foods that can be used as spices. Sure, once they colonized India, they got some spices, but even still classic British food mostly stayed the same.
Beans (The java + spring kind)
And then there’s Southern American, Beans, hamhock, bacon, onions, cornbread. Amazing meal in the winter.
