Beans or peas?

[MickTheChampion]

It was a pretty self-explanatory title.

You're having a meal. Something pretty standard, maybe it's home made fish and chips, think of a relevant meal scenario. What do you prefer to have at the side, peas or baked beans?

I'm not really sure if it applies to the United States, Australia or Canada; but to the best of my knowledge this is a common question of preference when it comes to having your dinner in the British Isles.

For me, it's got to be beans. They're the perfect companion for mostly any meal, and the poor quality tomato sauce they're drenched in reminds of the processed food that was eaten when I was a young lad. I instantly distrust anyone who prefers peas. They taste foul; and if you eat them you're Middle Class and weird.

It depends what it's with. Usually beans. It's only ever peas if it's fish and chips, and even then it's still usually beans.

Not Heinz, though, they're tasteless and have about 3 times as much sauce as you would need.

[AnalPenguinFarming]

I'm not so much a fan of peas, especially at my college. They taste like total shit. So generally I like to go with a good old side of beans.

They're good for your heart!

[Eradication]

Beans definitely. Especially with a burger and some fries.

I can't choose--I love peas, but my love of beans is rivalled with my love of potatoes.

And I'm a woman enamoured with potatoes.

:(

[PinkBeer]

It depends. Peas with fish. Beans with everything else.

I prefer peas. But not that processed shit, proper mushy ones you get in a wee white side dish at a decent restaurant.

Beans are irritating. All they ever do is explode ALL OVER THE MICROWAVE.

What a pointless topic... i'm never usually a troll, but c'mon, who gives a shit about peas and beans.

Beans are tastier but you know, that coating is liquified sugar, so peas are the healthier option.

Eh? What kind of shit do you usually talk about? Are you telling me out of the many thousands of words you exchange with other individuals each day, you NEVER have these pointless little conversations? Bullshit, my friend. Bullshit.

Then you're shit at the microwave. I have a sixth sense about how long food stuffs should be in the microwave for, you should see me melt cheese in that thing. Seriously, you've never seen anything like it, I'm fucking perfect at it.

I hate microwaves. The packets never cater to my specific wattage, so I try and extrapolate the time, things pop a lot, the plate becomes superheated and half the stuff's all dried up. Then it finishes and I wish I hadn't bothered.

Real men use a cooker. All you have to do is shout at her for a bit.

[Rainbow-clows]

I'd have to say beans, but given the option mushy peas.

[Phsyco-Mantis]

In during Mr.Bean reference.

[Raguel]

To tell the truth, when I read the topic title I thought 'What kind of stupid cunt is this? Beans, obviously'.

Then I saw that it was you and was glad that I didn't have to lose any respect for ya in the end.

You didn't honestly think I'd be one of those peas loving sickos did you?

I do rather like beans most of the time but then again, what kind of beans are we talking about? Pinto? Black? Boston baked? Refried?

Baked beans, as stated above.

[HorseSperm]

peas. but i love rice and beans

[Smego]

Well I think that it depends of the types of food you're eating it with. I like peas if it's with mash potatoe or pumpkin, but I like my beans if they're just by themselves or with toast. I eat my beans all the time.

And yes they are MY beans.

Oh okay. I don't often indulge in fish and chips, so I wasn't entirely sure. Add me to the beans side.

[PadreBueno]

Amish baked beans are the best!

The Amish don't believe in technology, they can't have baked beans.

[ShadowWest]

I prefer beans any day. I hate peas. Plus, beans make me fart a lot!

[RedCoin]

She gives me peas with my pie, even though I dont like peas, and she knows that.
I'd much rather have beans, but beans just dont go with pie.
What is a man to do?

[LampFace]

BEANS i hate peas always have always will, BEANS FTW.

That is all

[Alfie]

I prefer peas normally. But that's only because my mum buys heinz and my school get re-labeled heinz from a discount store (No sell-by, worrying) But I have tasted Beans at a restraunt once. Mmmmmm.... Bena's Beans are so fucking yummy. Too bad they don't have a website so Google, Yahoo and Dogpile refuse to search for them. Don't know about Live! Search. I've only used them once.
