It has 15 different types of beans in it and it can be bought pre packaged. 15 different beans!
Lies, I count way more than 15 beans!
In Soviet Russia, only 15.
No no, in Soviet Russia, beans count you.
Who counts the bean counters?
Soviet Russia
15?! Ridiculous! We need to breed one universal bean that covers everyone’s use cases.
Result: there are 16 beans.
For those times when you look at a stream bed and get hungry
I sure do love me some aquarium gravel!
YES! Make it with vegetable stock (and the vegan “ham” flavoring included) and it’s especially tasty.
I gotta make this again soon
why should i know? i like some beans but not all beans
NO QUESTION, ONLY KNOW.
but…
Oops! All beans!
maybe specify where this is, lol, because it most certainly isn’t available in sweden for example…
Later that night…
The 15 farts Orchestra! 😁💨
You think I don’t know about beans?! I almost died in freshman year at Biffmoore because I ate a bag of uncooked beans. Dry Beans!
But OP, what kinds of beans are there?
From the ingredient list: northern, pinto, large lima, yelloweye, garbanzo, baby lima, green split, kidney, cranberry, small white, pink, small red, yellow split, lentil, navy, white kidney, black bean.
That’s so many beans!
HamBeens
Plant them.
No joke going to do this. I could quadruple my beans!
I’m unemployed and involuntarily vegan for health reasons. Dried mixed beans, brown rice, and frozen vegetables are keeping me alive.
GAS GAS GAS
TONIIIIIIIIIGHT I’LL FLYYYY
He barely has to wipe.
He’s had the same roll of one-ply all summer
Watch out for low-flying brown missiles!
Doesn’t the body get used to eating that many beans? Like, Mexicans eat them all the time. Also I eat them as often as I can and I don’t think they really affect me that much.
Yes. You basically have to keep eating that way and your gut flora adjust to compensate. It’s still a pretty windy diet since you rely on those gut-bugs to break down a lot of the sugars in beans.
this. But also soak and discard the soaking water. And use kombu. There’s ways to get rid of the anti nutrients that cause gas before you cook it
I like to think it has more to do with the dried or dehydrated foods suddenly becoming rehydrated causing a mix of bacterial bloom within the previously barren food and difficulty digesting/passing the food resulting in the carbohydrate fermentation and flatulence as a means of pushing it through, but idk I’m not a butt engineer.
I soak all my own beans and I don’t have the issue. As someone else said, it may have to do with our individual gut flora or something.
I heard, from John Ralston Saul of all people, that the trick is to change the water.
I’ve heard the same thing. I always drain and rinse my beans well, and I never have any complaints of gassiness.
Your body gets used to it. That’s not a problem.
Wait until you hear about fruit!
I’m a scientist. Beans are a fruit, of the musical variety.
I found a study that disagrees. However the sample size is pretty small
(Beans are technically seeds, the pod/shell they grow in is the fruit. -botany)
What happens when you eat them more? As a scientist, that is.
They make you toot.
Moreover, we’ve found significant correlations between the quantity of consumed legumes with the frequency and duration of flatus events. This relationship may be exponential. Further studies are needed to understand the upper bounds.

The “unemployed” part of his comment suggests he has a low food budget, in which case fruit is a terrible choice. Beans have way more calories per dollar
It is harvest time for fruit trees in many areas. My area has apple trees and a lot have fallen due to a drought. I can look on the ground within a 100yd radius of my place and probably rustle up a pie’s worth of decent fruits. Further south the paw paws are coming in. And later in the season, walnuts and hickory nuts will come in. I know not everyone is so lucky to live in a forageable area, but you also might be surprised what’s around.
fallingfruit.org is a fantastic resource if you’re looking for sources of free food. They have mobile apps as well.
You are correct. I’m wretched.
I miss fruit.
Dollar store spices will help you thrive.
Be careful with cheap spices. If it’s from a trusted brand, sure, go for it. Whole spices tend to be more trustworthy than powders (and sometimes cheaper). But there have been some instances of heavy metal contamination of cheap powdered spices. Especially the imported powders you’ll see a lot in international grocery stores. Even if it is safe, you don’t know how long it’s been sitting in the store or waiting in a far away warehouse.
If you see super-cheap cinnamon, it’s usually Cassia cinnamon, which contains high levels of coumarin, a blood thinner. “Real” cinnamon is Ceylon. It’s more expensive, but has much lower levels of coumarin, and most prefer its more delicate flavor. Afaik labels aren’t required to disclose what kind of cinnamon you’re buying, but the more reputable brands sell the Ceylon variety and label it as such. You can also get whole cinnamon, and the two varieties are easy to tell apart.
I like getting spices from stores with a bulk spices section. e.g., if you need a tbsp of cinnamon, or a single star anise, a very specific amount of something you’ll only use once, etc… you put only what you need in a little container and purchase it by weight. It will be super cheap compared to a whole prepackaged container and you’ll always have a fresh product with no waste. You can even bring/reuse your own containers! A lot of local food co-ops have a bulk area with spices. “Frontier Co-op” is a popular vendor for bulk sets, and their stuff is vetted and super high quality. Best of both worlds IMO.
Solid advice, I highly endorse it.
Careful though, they recently recalled dollar store cinnamon because it had lead in it

Dirt is really expensive if you’re unemployed. Some herbs and veg are quite happily grown kratky style, but that also comes with its own challenges
The first week of vegan is brutal. But it gets better.
I’ve been like this for months. I’m miserable. I’m a vegetarian because I hate animals. I have high blood pressure so I cut out animal fat and booze.
I’m a vegetarian because I hate animals
If you hate animals, I don’t think you’re doing this right.
Nope I know what I’m doing. Animals are made of blood and guts which I find gross. They’re also annoying. I don’t want them to be a part of me.
Animals are made of blood and guts which I find gross. They’re also annoying.
Wait until you hear about the most annoying animal of all, humans!! Nobody’s supposed to eat those!
You’re not wrong.
Don’t let the establishment tell you what to not eat. Follow your wanderlust.
Wanderlust refers to travel. Which I would love to do again if I had money.
Cook mushrooms in rice or beans. Add wallnuts. Supposedly walnut and no other but has shown to help lower blood pressure.
Interesting. I’m vegetarian because I love animals
not really. Especially if you have access to vegan chick’n nuggies and corn dogs and junk.
The moment you stop eating meat you’ll notice just how hard society wants you to chew on dead animals. Your friends, your family, the TV commercials, the radio. They never talk about a juicy mushroom taco. It just Burger this and pork that everywhere you go. That’s what I mean by brutal. And its always an inconvenience for the cook to not add dead animal or smear your food with animal milk products.
I was on a work crew once when I was vegan. We cut trees and all rode to the locations in the same work van. One day we stopped for Ice Cream at a really popular place before calling it the day. Yay on the clock shenanigans, boo, it’s ice cream. They asked if I was cool with it, and of course I said I didnt mind, and just waited in the van.
I almost cried when my supervisor brought me out a slushy. I didn’t know they had them. It was very kind of my supervisor. No one ever made fun of me, but it was definitely obvious to everyone in day to day talk/life I had the dietary restriction.
It was also very surprising to me, how many chips use milk powder. I had a few kettle cooked salt and vinegar chips before reading the bag, and was shocked … Why? The pain.
They don’t just put it in there for fun, you can bet that milk powder affects the eating experience in a way most people enjoy. Snack companies invest a ton of money refining every nuance of their recipes.
Very nice supervisor though, the everyday compassion makes big impact.
Milk was the hardest to give up but also the cruelest of products because to get milk you have to starve baby calfs. But oat milk and soy milk seem great. Soy if you want big boobs. Costco has several brands of both.
I watched Earthlings while I was nursing my newborn. Thats all it took.
Regular milk was easy to give up, I like coconut milk better anyway, cheese was much harder to be honest. Still milk, but cheese was rough. Hummus was the only thing that could satiate the creving.
I’m pretty certain soy won’t give you “big boobs” unless you had a quantum fuckton of it, so much so, it’s impossible for a human to consume naturally.
I gotta find that documentary.
Are you a plant?
No, plants do not like to be irrigated with any kind of milk. Plus I wouldn’t suggest to eat plants if I was a plant… I know, its what a vegan plant would say if asked if it was a vegan plant…
I was a vegan in the US and now I’m a vegetarian in Japan. Trust me, I know lol.
Smear? What milk products are you thinking of? What came to my mind was cheese (which you could call metan tofu, I suppose…), but I would usually expect cheese to be sprinkled, not smeared.
Butter or cream cheese
Oh, yeah, that does make sense. I’m not sure why my brain went up the garden path on that one.
Even when I’m not a practicing vegan, I dislike cream cheese and sour cream. I cant order many things just because if you ask them to leave it off, you might not only get a look for it, but they may just put it on there anyway.
I threw a crunch wrap (black bean with cheese and jalapeno) out the window about ten years ago. Not my finest moment, but fuck sour cream, I was starving and it just ruined everything. Aye.
LOL, practicing. My boss calls me vegan flex because I’ll eat stuff without looking at the contents.
But you know, veganism is just a self control thing. Like capital punishment. We don’t allow it but every now and then someone in Texas just has to go do their thing on the electric seating arrangement. There’s little we can do sometimes. Veganism is a self control decision not to eat products or allow the torture and murdering of animals. So I can stop tomorrow if I decided to do that. It’s not a better than thou thing. Its not a religion or a club. We don’t high five each other. Its just an understanding that if you eat that burger, a happy cow with life a dreams will be murdered to replace it…and the burger contains the dismembered parts of a cow after it was murdered and tortured. So its a decision.
I love mushroom derived flavors, but eating actual mushrooms, it’s always about texture never the taste
I prefer 239 bean soup. Yes, it must be exactly 239 beans, not even one bean more.
If 239 bean soup had even just one more bean, it would be too farty bean soup.
Incorrect, you can always have more beans
Source: I love beans
I hear they call you “Beano.”
What if you have it with a cup of coffee? Does that count towards the bean counter?
Asking the real questions
With an average-sized spoon, every spoonful could be a different type of 6 bean soup—it’s like getting five thousand soups in one!
15 choose 6 == 15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11 * 10 /(6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) == 5005
Wow, I did the math thinking, no, hoping you were wrong, but 5k is right on the money. You must have done the math. Good show sir
Why assume there are 6 beans in a spoonful? Maybe 15 choose 8 is a more common scoop… Assume no partial beans in spoonfuls. Also assume each bean type is as likely to be “scooped”. Finally, assume an infinitely large bowl of soup.
There’s way more than fifteen beans in there. I’d say there’s at least like 200.
It’s just 50 servings of the 15 bean soup!
