REFRIED BEANS



Much like chocolate soy pudding, the nourishment pictured above looks like feces, tastes like happy, and is UTTERLY SPOONABLE. Contrary to popular belief (spoonenfreude if you will), refried beans are actually fried once if at all.

The native cuchillador (spoon-wielder) may refer to this common burrito, enchillada, or tortilla filling as "frijolles refritos"; However, this still sheds no light on why we call these deliciously prepared legumes "refried". Other than that we do. O well...

IN SPOONCLUSION: While refried beans may be the worst-named and worst-looking canned food in history (second to only spam....), they are one of the best tasting. As well as the most SPOONTASTIC. Despite the nasty name, they are also pretty darn nutritious (actually low in fat). And can be spooned into or onto just about anything...


MAXIMUM SPOONAGE FOREVER!







SPOONLER ALERT! (While "frijolles refritos" was mistranslated into "refried beans", it can be more accurately translated as "well-fried beans" (think well as in well-done steak not well-water). Courtesy of the interwebs.
