Except that beans are grainy and gross and eggs are delicious and have a great texture that doesn't immediately make me gag...this timeline sucks.
I disagree about beans when made right theyre delish. But my question is do they want to poor to be farting up a storm constantly? Cuz if we live off beans we are gonna be farting. I know from experience ive lived off beans and rice for a time when money gets tight and omg the farting is nonstop.
I've never met a bean that wasn't a horrid texture. If you have a recommendation for how to prep them so they aren't absolutely disgusting, I'd love to know because it would be nice to expand my food options, especially currently while I'm financially struggling.
I don't know your life experience or what will work for you. But I spent 20 something years of my life gagging at beans. Now I will eat beans in most forms, except refried. I felt just like you, the texture was gross. I started with chilis and soups that had beans in it, but also other stuff to not focus on. Gradually I tried more and more bean dishes and have grown to enjoy them.
Yeah, I have tried many, the texture still gets me every time. I'm hoping one day I'll be find a preparation that isn't horrible. I picked up some dry beans recently so I can see if making them from scratch is better because there's been more than once where a pre-made version repulsed me but a homemade version turned out OK, I just need to find some good prep instructions.
