I Don't Like Beans by Nobody: 9:43am On Jul 27, 2012
Yes. Confession time. I'm Nigerian and I don't like beans. Bean pottage is gross. Imagine the horror of being at work all day, starving, and before you even step into the house, you smell beans. Hell truly is here on earth sad

Texture? I don't like. Smell? Mbanu. Taste? Tufia.

Even if it's with rice, I'll manage only three beans to a mound of delicious white rice and stew.

The way beans spoil bread. Soft, delectable-looking bread, slathered with beans. No, not with butter or jam, but with gas pellets. Wetin dey do una?

Beans are perseverent. They never lose in the digestion battle. You eat beans, smiling, laughing, jollifying because you think you don chop well. 30 minutes later e dey remind you e go always have the last laugh. I no fit o.

And why oh why do people eat beans and drink garri? NA SIN O! Garri is my best food, particularly garri ijebu. I have always proclaimed that garri is the only way the human race can attain world peace. Imagine a beautiful bowl of glimmering, milky, garri next to a tattered plate of beans. For what? The only comparison is standing Bianca Ojukwu next to Mr Ibu. It's an abomination in my book.

Thank goodness there are other high-proteinous foods available. If beans were the only protein sources around, Ogugua88 would be very protein-deficient.

I know I can't be the only one that doesn't like beans. Maybe, due to fear of persecution, some have remained silent. Well, today let us be fearless and vocal. Tell us why you don't like beans!

By the way, in my world, beans does not include moin-moin cheesy

Par-boil beans
wash and rinse
boil again

use vegetable oil instead of palm oil(high cholesterol and usually tainted with toxic chemicals and germs)
season as you wish.

try it!

NGO - Movement for the Recognition of Beans Haters (MRBH)
Founder - Ogugua88

Kai, with your last paragraph, you be real 419, wayo to the core. Lol. Beans farmers must sue you o. No more moin moin for you after casting such heavy aspersions on its main raw material.


That said, one man's food is truly another man's poison sha, coz all those combinations you mentioned are quite delicious & tasty to several people including me smiley I dont really crave beans though, except when i've not had it for a looooong time, & even then, after enjoying it thoroughly like 2 - 3 times in d space of like a week, i go on my long break again.lol


Foods i just totally dislike are:

1) Ikokore ( native dish - water yam porridge), I just no like that food, except its heavily laden with meat strips n fish & a very tasty stew is poured on top of it to mask that original taste. In its simple form tho, no thank you.

2) Boiled UNRIPE plantain: ''its very rich in iron'', yeah i don hear. Why una no fit wait make the thing ripe, yellow, sweet well well. My ibo friends will tell me to try with abacha or smthn, no thank you. I'll try the RIPE one with the abacha instead.


3) Garden egg: its a vegetable/fruit = food na, abi? Me no like that thing. How do people eat it n say its sweet But then whats funny is that the last time i tried to eat it was like 10, 12 yrs ago, havnt tried it since then to see if i'll njoy it now. No need jor. Lol


4) Pear : that purple one sold with roasted corn, irritating, slimy looking on the inside, i no chop. Haven't tried eating that too in the last 8 yrs. Holding on to my initial inhibitions.lol
Re: I Don't Like Beans by kandiikane(m): 10:26am On Jul 27, 2012
For the garden egg, I still crack my brain trying to find out why people eat it.
Re: I Don't Like Beans by FindOut(m): 10:27am On Jul 27, 2012

Apologies.

Re: I Don't Like Beans by Nobody: 10:44am On Jul 27, 2012
@Ogugua, have you ever tried ewa agoyin? I swear to God you`ll like it because they`re good so long and so well you will forget it`s actually to nauthy beans you always detested.
I also think the Magis is in the stew sauce that comes with it.
Re: I Don't Like Beans by MissyB3(f): 2:17pm On Jul 27, 2012
Ogugua and those that hate garden egg sauce, just state how many days ban you can serve and make this easier for me. angry

As for you, you can't even eat beans consistently. It's not that great is what it means. I can smoke garri twice a day for the rest of my life and remain happy. The power of love lol.
