As Benjamin Franklin, Great American Founding Father said:

“Fart proudly”.

[Sirius Lee]

Sorry, but we are meat eaters. We don’t want to become Mexican bean eaters and start farting.

My beef chili is chock full 'o beans, and I fart proudly. Freely.

And I think the dog actually likes it.

“the addition of 1 and 2 servings of beans daily”

Hmmmm..beans twice a day! One would tire of that quickly I suspect!

“The more you fart, the better you feel
So eat your beans at every meal”

[Diana in Wisconsin]

All beans are pulses, but not all pulses are beans. ;)

I could live on rice & beans if I didn’t have to cook for anyone else. ;)

These past few growing seasons I’ve been adding drying beans to my garden - they keep forever, have a lot of nutritional value and are very versatile in cooking.

‘Good Mother Stallard’ is my current obsession:

Picking the last of my Cayenne peppers in the next couple of days before the frost tuesday night.

Here’s my Spicy Navy Bean soup recipe:

I scrub, rinse several times, and then soak 2 cups navy beans with fresh water overnight.

In the crockpot with water 1 1/2” over beans for 5 1/2 hours on high:

1.0 ounce of vegetable oil max (heart healthy Omega 3) Sunflower/Canola/Olive oil mix, no Soybean!

2 or 3 small okra (sliced up)

3 small green onions (sliced up)

7 or 8 small dried whole red pepper pods (Hot) Cayenne

1/4 teaspoon Mexican chili powder (just for the beautiful golden color)

3/4 teaspoon seasoning salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (add at the last 2 hours only!)

After in the bowl I give it a couple twist of a McCormick Peppercorn Medley Grinder and serve with a hard loaf style bread or corn bread

Real Americans disagree.

Also...soaking and or precooking beans, then draining and using them reduces the gasses

Dan 1:12
Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.

Dan 1:16
Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.

One can read about how eating pulse fared for Daniel and his 3 friends ;

I don’t know that meme. Is that from a movie?

Spoil-sport.

It’s a still from the Brit comedy “The Young Ones.” Neil, the hippie, has a thing for lentils.
