  1. One time I bought the uncooked beans rather than can. I had this idea that “yeah I’m not gonna get the boring premade ones I’m gonna make some delicious ones!” After soaking them for 16 hours in water and slow cooking them for 8 hours I realized they tasted almost the exact same. They were good and really flavorful but not significantly different enough to matter.

    So now I get dollar cans of beans at walmart

    I’d replace black beans with godd***ed portobellos. Especially when there are so many other, tastier mushrooms. 😖

    Black beans, zucchini, and spinach are apparently the only substitutes for meat that most restaurants recognize as food. It is a very strange worldview. Replacing carnitas with spinach never sat well with me — it is nonsensical, but that’s the landscape.

  4. Had a relative trying to convince me that being meat free is expensive, I explained to them that I can get 2.5 “burgers” out of one .49cent can of black beans as opposed to buying ground beef…they flipped their sh*t when I said you can make really tasty burgers out of beans lol

    I turned vegetarian in November and my lazy Susan is stuffed with black, white and garbanzo beans. Also my wife complains that i apparently wait to pass the worst gas when I’m deep asleep so that’s not great

  6. Idk why restaurants think black beans are the only vegetarian beans. It’s really astounding.

    I was so happy and excited when places like Qdoba and Moe’s started offering pinto beans with no meat in them.

    Otoh, I do prefer a good black bean burger over the Impossible sometimes. A couple local places in my town offer both. I wish most places did.

    Here is a different take..adzuki beans. The ones they use in the japanese bean desserts. My favorite way to use them is this kinda sweet bean soup made with adzuki beans and glutinous rice flour dumplings. Obviously you can use them any way you use other beans. They are deep dark red, small, and have a slightly more pronounced nuttiness.

    I’m obviously in the minority here, but I can’t do beans, except for chickpeas. Other legumes fill me up too fast and make me feel sick. I do love lentils, though.

  9. I’m always disappointed when I want a veggie burger and it’s a black bean burger. I usually get it anyway and it tasted fine but I was in the mood for a burger not a Mexican fiesta patty. Add guacamole to it or salsa and it great but I wanted a burger. Whoever decided that the go to veggie burger would taste like a burrito is on a bun should be ashamed. I’m not saying I need an impossible burger or any meat tasting thing, just generic veggie patty that I can add LTOP and ketchup Mayo mustard.

  10. I hate looking up vegetarian recipes so much.

    I’m not looking to be healthy, I just don’t want meat in it.

    For where I am it’s bell peppers, mushrooms, or eggplant. AND NONE OF THEM PREPARED CORRECTLY/WELL.

    Finely chopped onion fry until golden brown in a pan with high sides. Add a jar of black beans, then a jar of white beans. Then add white sauce (mix two tablespoons of flour in a glass of cold water), add curry. Stir until thickened (about 5 minutes). Cool down, enjoy.
