Great Values
You keep donating black beans
to the food bank.
I can hear you saying
they are full of protein
and you have many tasty recipes for black beans.
The thing is
(I would try to explain, but won’t)
black beans are not really part of our food culture here
most people here don’t know how to cook them
even those who have kitchens and cooking utensils
and working stoves and recipes
and time to cook
probably don’t know any recipes for black beans
or anything that goes well with them
because we just don’t eat black beans around here much.
There are so many cans of them.
Possibly they were on sale somewhere.
There are several different brands
so maybe there are often on sale.
I wish you would buy things that are useful
as well as nutritious
things people like and will actually eat
cans of baked beans, for example
these are beans we all know and love
and they can be heated and eaten easily.
But you keep buying black beans
almost as if you are buying
what you like instead of what other people like
what you think people should eat instead of what they do eat
because after all
you
know
best.
