    As a Mexican, it's such a stereotype but beans are like a staple in our kitchen. We always buy them when we go grocery shopping. It's like a side or main dish for us, it's so essential that the idea of not having beans and just eating something else is like noo what else will I be able to eat? Also, they are cheap, for most Mexican families it's essential because it is something they can afford so it's very very important for our lives.
    Also, I was expecting her to cook the beans not buy the can ones from the store, I'm sure the food would have tasted better. The ones from the can are not that great.
    Loved the idea of the brownie though!

      The beans that you boil yourself often do taste better, but they require more preparation- overnight soaking, different boiling times, that sort of thing. They were clearly pressed for time as it was. I lasted a grand total of three days washing dishes in a restaurant once, and boy do you learn quickly how impossibly complicated it is to cook for a large number of people. I suspect that a lot of restaurants go under simply because the managers weren't able to predict every single thing that they might need or that could go wrong.

    As an ESL (English as Second Language) person, I always thought it was wild that in english all of these are called "beans" like in spanish they have very different names, you have "Frijol, garbanzo, soja, caraota, habichuelas" my mom cooks all of them very differently and I think the different names help the perception you have of them, I never thought of all of them as just "BEAN". Great Video Melissa :)

    • @Albinojackrussel

      They all have names in English too, but collectively they're beans.
      Garbonzo - Chickpeas (we actually don't call them beans for whatever reason)
      Soja - Soy or Soya beans
      Other common beans are: String beans, (they have stringy bits)
      Green beans,
      Kidney beans,
      Runner beans,
      Black eyed peas (yes they're called peas, but they're clearly beans),
      Canelinni beans
      Broad beans (also called fava)
      Haricot beans (pronounced as a french word)
      Black beans
      Red beans
      Pinto beans
      Mung beans
      You may have noticed that these all have very imaginative names, that's because we, the English, are a very imaginative people.
      I couldn't work out what carota and frijoles are in English. I think that carota might be black beans, and the frijoles is either kidney beans, or the dish refried beans. But not certain. Habichuela I can't even guess at, every single translation I found used different beans as an example, from runner, to broad, to kidney, to string to french, to red beans.

      I think you just have a linguistic misunderstanding of what “bean” means in a culinary sense in English and how it’s used. “Bean” etymologically comes from a meaning of “small, edible, and seed-like”, so anything resembling that will have the name attached. That doesn’t mean that they’re all equal tho. “Bean” alone will not include green beans, probably won’t usually include garbanzo beans (aka “chickpeas” in American English which resemble the peas of a green bean). “Bean” is abstract and exact, conventional translations to Spanish are not easy. English just has different groupings than Spanish, but if you do want to get down to the nitty gritty specifics of them all, we do also have those even if they’re less common to use when people don’t care as much about the differences.

    This is a brilliant video! I have always lived in "Cattle Country" and eating beef is almost as big a part of my life as breathing. Climate change has me expecting that to change. When I cook dry beans, I always dish up a bowl with no seasoning (not even salt) to eat so that I can enjoy and get familiar with the bean in the moment, before I decide what to do with it. Your video took me places I never expected, and has opened my eyes. Now I can start playing with green beans, which have been my nemesis for decades!

    I actually love that you did this because beans have always been one of my favorite foods (like as long as i've been old enough to have a favorite food it's always been beans), and someone recently asked me "if you could start any business what would you do?" I was sort of caught off gaurd by the question and without really thinking about it I blurted out "a bean restaraunt." I got some very strange reactions but i still think it would be good.

    I have celiac, and my mother-in-law uses it as an excuse to try weird gluten-free recipes. She made some black bean brownies recently, and I was so surprised by how good they were! If I didn't know there were beans in them, I would have thought it was just a "healthy" brownie. The texture was weird, but with gluten-free baked goods, I try not to have high expectations.

      I have celiac too, and girl you need to raise your expectations for baked goods. There are so so many gf baked goods that are SUPER good.
      Packaged stuff or from bakeries that don't specialize in gf stuff is usually not great, but there are tons of great recipes for homemade. Finding the right flour mix is the key (or using recipes that explicitly state their combination or use or that only use one). People can't ever tell that what I make is gluten free.

    In Thailand and probably E&SE Asia in general, there is a type of bean that is similar to green beans in the West, but way longer (~50 cm), the asparagus beans. They are called _thua fak yao_ or long-pod legumes in Thai, and they are usually featured in stir fry dishes.
    Meanwhile, mung beans can be boiled with sugar as a dessert. However, the dish has got the bad rep from some people because of their bad experience with school lunches.
