I make black bean based veggie patties; not because I'm a vegetarian, but because a can of black beans is cheap. I call them struggle burgers. I can't wait to be demonized for buying fucking beans. Fuck this timeline.
Check out Daddy Warbucks over here with his canned beans! Dried beans are even cheaper.
That lucky bastard! Lucky, lucky, lucky bastard.
I DREAM of the day I can revel in canned beans! No soaking! No spices! No massive pot!
lucky, lucky, lucky bastard
You are correct, they are. Wet beans saves me time from having to soak them. Lentils are they only ones I buy dry because they cook fast without soaking.
Every time I try soaking dry beans I forget about them and they get gross.
I never bother soaking em. Pressure cooker (instant pot) does the job. I don't throw away the liquid either, that's good vitamins. Just do the beans most of the way in stock and spices, throw in rice and quinoa, close it up and cook it the rest of the way. Super easy.
Beans were once seen as poverty food. In the great depression at least. They were the Ramen noodles of that era.
Protein, plus fiber, plus complex carbohydrates. What's not to love? Plus it makes a smaller environmental impact compared to farming poultry or larger animals. It was mind blowing to hear rags like the WSJ demonize the younger generation for eating avocado toast; it's a fucking cheap meal. Avocados were like $1 a pop and are a good source of fiber and health fat. I can't wait for rags like the WSJ to start publishing articles like, "How dare the poors waste money on eating!"
Yeah, avocados imported into Canada are expensive but if they grow near you I can see them being stupid cheap.
