      All beans taste different so I guess I don’t understand the question. A garbanzo is way different from a kidney and both way different from a butter bean.

        And yet almost all of them have a basic ‘bean’ taste to them that I don’t like. You remind me of people who tell me I just haven’t had the right olive when I say I don’t like olives.

        I mean it’s like you think I have to enjoy eating the same things you do.

          Peas are part of the same family as beans. Do sweat peas taste like “beans”?

          I don’t think you have to like the same things I like, but I also don’t think I believe it when someone writes off an entire family of plants. At least all olives are the same species. Legumes have such a huge variety that it’s hard to grasp the idea of disliking them all.

            What part of “almost all” is unclear to you?

            I’m sorry, I’m not going to like most beans no matter how hard you try to talk me into enjoying their generally common basic flavor.

              That’s because I don’t actually believe they have a generally common basic flavor?

              Also, peas and rice are also a perfectly acceptable way to get protein.

                I’m sorry you can’t believe that I taste something, but I still taste it whether you believe it or not.

                Do you think I’m lying? Why on Earth would I lie about this?

                  I think you’re mistaken because I was mistaken for most of my life. If you asked me five years ago I’d also say I disliked beans.

                    I’m not going to try every variety of bean in the world just to find out there are a handful of beans other than some peas that I might possibly like. Just like I’m not going to try every variety of olive I like just to find out if there’s one I don’t hate.

                    Why does this even matter to you? You eat what you like and I’ll eat what I like. Notice I haven’t even asked you what you eat and if you told me you didn’t like, for example, fish, I wouldn’t keep pressing you because there are lots of types of fish and you just haven’t tried the right fish and I thought I didn’t like fish so you’re mistaken for not liking fish. Would you enjoy it if I kept pressing you on it or do you think you might consider that rude?
