A few words of advice for you - never, ever allow your other half to feed you 'Beanfeast'. It may taste fine at the time, but you WILL regret it.

What exactly is a beanfeast..?

The first time I ever encountered the phrase was Veruca Salt's song in Willie Wonka..

"I want a feast. I want a BEANfeast"

Nothing so glamorous:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beanfeast

In Britain, Beanfeast is a vegetarian processed food made from soya. It is sold in dried form, in packets, to be mixed with water and boiled. The cooked product resembles mince.

It is marketed in three varieties - Savoury Mince, Bolognese Style and Mexican Chilli.

Really?  Must've changed the recipe, I've been avoiding it since the 80's, at which time it tasted vile.


Aodan - it's like a mince substitute made from beans.  It comes as a dry mix & you're meant to use it to make burgers, etc, or for spag bol type meals.

It was a delicious meal, lovingly prepared for me by Catfish last night, the only downside if which has been the number and frequency of loo breaks I've had to take this morning! But apart from that, it was splendid. biggrin.gif

Strangely enough, it sounds like what we use for drywall repair here in Texas...Just give it 24 hours to cure before you paint over it...

Never knew you could eat it...weirdface...Ben

Hmm. It did look kinda gravelly in the packet. Maybe I should check with Catfish that she didn't find it in the garage! biggrin.gif

Trust me, you can't eat it, not really. Catfish must truly posses magical powers to have created a splendid & delicious meal out of it!

It also makes a dandy driveway patching compound but it doesn't smell as good as asphalt...The EPA says to only mix it in a well ventilated area...Ben

Added in edit: But I'm sure if Catfish served it as a meal then it was truly fit for the gods...

Thank you Truckman! I did manage to disguise it quite well as a lasagne with layers of courgette.

I used to eat Beanfeast as a student about 10 years ago, but one evening it repeated on me so badly that my housemates banished me to my room with no TV.

I thought I'd try it again just to see if the same thing happened... it was sort of an experiment biggrin. I seem to have survived unscathed this time...

All things considered - can you not experiment on the JDK when he is likely to be around me? He was making strange noises indeed last eve...

It's true. A lot of what can only be described as 'stomach churning'.

All in all... it was a shit experiment!

But anyway - any suggestions on what we can feed the JDK next? How about Horlicks?
