Wha—what the crap are you on about???
BEANS????
ya ever make a post and you just..know you’re gonna get an ask about it later? bc yeah lol
okay so here’s the story behind this. now keep in mind, I’m absolutely not dissing on another culture!! I’m just very picky when it comes to what I eat (textures get me more than the taste most times), and this was 100% one of those times. I was also too excited to use reason and read the wrapper first, so that’s on me lol.
so last summer, my parents and I went on a Friday + weekend road trip and stayed in a hotel. whenever we do this, we always try out local foods (especially Chinese or Japanese food!! it’s our favorite and it’s pretty hard to go wrong usually). we went out to eat and then went to the store next door; a Japanese market. my dad and I love going to these places; new tea, snacks, teapots, etc. we were both like kids in a candy store. long story short, we found some kind of cake(?) that I can’t remember the name of that we just had to try. it was beautiful and had flower patterns and stuff all over it. we get back to the hotel with the cake and all the snacks we bought and dig in.
now, my dad isn’t picky like I am. textures don’t bother him and he doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth, but I do. we cut it in half to split it (my mom was more interested in the stuff she picked out lol), and we both tend to take bigger bites. this was a horrible mistake for me. it turned out to be red bean paste (not sweet at all and a texture my weird brain immediately rejected. i also don’t eat beans we have here for the same reason, it’s not just those beans), not a strawberry mousse or whatever I thought it’d be. the cake itself wasn’t sweet either, at least not how I expected. mistakes were made. my dad liked it, and it didn’t go to waste, but I nearly hurled 😅 I thought I learned my lesson but repeated the process with yet another small pie thing we got lol (also read the tags)
