Refried Beans


What is the point of this stuff? It tastes like shit! In fact it tastes (and looks) like beans that have been and shat out by someone that doesn't chew.

I was taken to a 'South American' restaurant by my boss' boss' boss last night on the recommendation of my boss who had be going on about how this place was great and she'd been loads of times and that the food was 'lush' (what, green?) and the atmosphere was great! It wasn't. The menu was rubbish, everything came with shitbeans and took ages to do so (presumably the beans were being prepared to order...) and by 'atmosphere', she just meant loud and full of teenagers.

Still... you don't get taken out for a free meal by your boss very often!

For South American - read 'Mexico' (anything south of the US is a 3rd world country) its all Beans and gunpowder - I wont eat that sh1t

I don't like most South American food, it's probably an acquired taste...However, TexMex is an entirely different animal...No enchilada or burrito grande meal is complete without frijoles and rice...Ben

Mmmmmmmm, I love Mexican/Tex-Mex. Though I doubt much of what we get over here is that authentic. One day I'll be able to afford a gap year & do some serious research on the subject, with particular emphasise on food further south (namely chocolate, which is meant to be quite an acquired taste to a western pallette).

PS Good refried beans are yum, if they're slimely & grey run, run away fast!

Except the bits that aren't, obviously.

Seriously, there was not a single spicy dish in the place. There were a lot of peanuts though. Pff.

Spice-less refried beans? Eek! Wallpaper paste is cheaper, keeps for ages, even when opened & would make a good alternative!
