Here at least we shall be free; the Almighty hath not built Here for his envy, will not drive us hence: Here we may reign secure, and in my choice to reign is worth ambition though in Hell: Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.
Not a problem when you cook them correctly. I didn't know this until just a few years ago. My family suffered needlessly..... Rinsing off the soaking water and cooking the beans in plain water (no salt of other ingredients) until tender and then adding your ingredients. Actually, the pouring off the soaking water and rinsing the beans twice is the key to gasless enjoyment.
Ok ok. I'll give this one to you because the size makes a huge difference. Like a kidney bean is skin and large amounts of bean while a lentil is small in shape so less bean taste and more thin shell. So, there is bean with a large portion of "bean" and there is bean with a small.
It still is a freaking bean. If you shut your eyes and extract the bean part, you won't tell the difference. Like Pepsi and Coke. same.
