What's your opinion on beans? I would guess it's something like "not that exciting by itself, but could possibly/can be made into something good with good ingredients".
At least that's your answer, I think, if you thought about it.
If you actually asked yourself what you thought.
On the other hand, I think people's cut reaction is more like "ewww" or "beans are meh".
In other words, to most people - again, what I would think - beans are either disgusting or plain tasteless.
If this is true, would they - if they were deciding between some recipes - choose a recipe including beans over things they didn't find tasteless or disgusting? It's not very likely.
The truth is, if you apply your own imagination you can make something good out of anything.
In this article, I'm going to give you something that you can use as a starting point to, hopefully, getting into love-beans-land.
Enjoy.
