As a longtime vegetarian who attempts to eat healthily every so often, I frickin’ love beans. Every kind of variety has something to offer the palate, from the edge that black beans give to a chili to the ones we make vanilla extract out of. They’re generally nutritious, and every different variety offers so many flavorful options in the kitchen. I just think they’re neat.

They also have the added bonus of being funny. Part of this is for the puerile, gas-related reason, but they are also a kind of absurd food just to look at. Like, it is wild how at least one country’s culinary identity is propped up by these uniform little kidneys doused in tomato sauce. In short, even if you don’t like beans you should be able to appreciate some memes about them. That is why there are multiple examples of this listed below this paragraph.
