How many cans or bags of beans did you buy?

[Gondwanaland]

It was not only toilet paper, but panic buying of cans and bags of beans that were cleaned from many shelves. How many cans or bags of beans did you buy?

Remember the early days of the pandemic when shoppers were going crazy raiding grocery shelves for flour, yeast and beans? Since then, people have been baking lots and lots of sourdough and banana bread ... but not so much the beans. Now some are complaining on social media about having "bean remorse," and want to know how to put their stockpiles to use. Luckily, Luz Calvo and Catriona Rueda Esquibel, authors of the 2015 cookbook, Decolonize Your Diet: Plant-Based Mexican-American Recipes For Health And Healing, have a few ideas.

No more than I usually do (in fact sometimes less than usual due to others snatching them up), but my usual is quite a bit. Several pounds a week (as a vegan, they're pretty much the backbone of most meals I eat).

Oh yeah the yeast! I had some stocked up but still can't get more!

I coincidentally bought a huge bag of rice at Costco just before the panic buying started. Shortly before that, I had bought a case of TP there also. I try to keep some stuff on hand so I was able to wait out the worst of the panic buying.

Just good common sense in these uncertain times.

Beans beans the more you eat
the more you toot.

Bean horders are real tooters.

My son and his family (three kids) live in my house (two family house). We loaded up on canned beans and pasta and canned fruit, and TP, paper towels and diapers early on. Used most of it.

You left out a part!

Come on, Shuny, step up your game!

My wife is an impulsive unpredictable horder. She bought a case of Almond milk, ten bags of drieded cranberries, and a case of expensive sardines from Cosco. No beans, and no TP.

Does she use almond butter? Like peanut butter, only from almonds?

I tried that, but I find it ... um.... "pasty". And it just gets gooey and runny in the jar in the pantry.

Actually we use a lot of seseme butter, seseme seeds, and oil, because we often cook Chinese. Prefer peanut butter.

Hmmm, I may have to try sesame butter.

It is a little thin to put on bread, but I guess ok. We put it on noodles and soup.

Really, folks. You all have it wrong.

It's

Beans, beans, the musical fruit,
The more you eat the more you toot.
The more you toot, the better you feel!
So let's have beans at every meal!

That's the version my mother always said

The other version is the same except for a slight difference. It started with "Beans, beans, good for your heart..." I'll let you guess which word was used that rhymed with "heart."
