Why is it that everything on this platform is about Linux, Star Trek and beans?

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?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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...

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

Well, have I got a solution for you. Have you ever heard of beans?

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

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!

Are they real beans that taste sweet or sweats that look like beans?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Red Bean Paste. It's often sweetened and used as a filling in a lot of Japanese pastries and desserts.

[–] LeadEyes@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

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.

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

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

looks at a label with a big picture of beans on it

No, no this can't be it!

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 15 points 10 months ago (12 children)

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!

Wow it's so beautiful I had to google Asturias to confirm it's real.

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

American: Beans with your eggs and bacon? Disgusting.

proceeds to slop more sand textured corn porridge on plate

[–] timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

Grits are mostly a southern thing. That said, they are absolutely awful IMO. I'd sooner try British beans with my breakfast.

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.

[–] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (9 children)

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.

British people also have mashed peas as their guacamole-but-not.

[–] chumbalumber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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)

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

And then there's Southern American, Beans, hamhock, bacon, onions, cornbread. Amazing meal in the winter.

[–] Katrisia@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Corn is the same. I prefer the pale non-sweet corn from Mexico much more.

Baked beans are top tier, tasty and good for protein. Also good for farting.

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

Same thing with rice.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Don't knock baked beans.

I was just looking up recipes for them last night. Thinking of trying my hand at homemade.
