You make a compelling point, but have you considered this: does the word end with beans in English or whatever language has the right vibes? If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be eating my JavaBean
To further complicate the issue, “lentil” is the second thing listed in Brak’s ode to beans from Space Ghost’s Musical Bar-B-Que. I listened to that album so many times, we’d make our parents suffer through it on long car trips, that must have been utter torture lol.
Oh and thanks for the branding help, that’s a great note
Hmm this is a serious counter point. Plus if we count lentils as beans, what do we do about split peas which kind of feel similar. Besides making some really good dishes like this. Quite complex indeed and adds evidence to the legume is legume idea
I have also had a new conundrum: how far away from a bean form does something is for it to no longer considered to be a bean dish. Does tofu count as a bean dish because it’s from soybeans? Falafel because it’s from garbanzo beans / chickpeas. I’d feel like the answer should be no on both fronts, but where does the line start
Oh yeah, them is bean dishes baby. Much like how soy sauce is just old salty bean water. Also like how marinara is a fruit sauce. And kind of like but a little different from how most sweet potatoes are actually yams. That one’s more of a legitimate culture-wide mistake I guess.
