As a Latino, the first time trying sweet beans in a pastry was so alarming. I still don't like them, it's so weird. Now sweet, fried plantains with a side of refried beans and avocado? Yes please!

Avocado shake was strange to me as well but it's not bad

What? Red bean paste filling is one of the most delicious mochi fillings! Don´t be a bean Nazi.

It's all about the way you were raised. I'm just not used to adding sweet directly into the bean paste.

It's like British beans and Mexican beans, both are beans but their taste and prep is like night and day

Are they real beans that taste sweet or sweats that look like beans?

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 23 points 11 months ago

Red Bean Paste. It's often sweetened and used as a filling in a lot of Japanese pastries and desserts.

Ya'll are missing out. Mochi with red bean paste is amazing. It's about the sweet and savory combination. Pretty similar to how halva works.

Hmm, maybe somewhere in between?

An acquaintance of mine bought an ice cream in china thinking it to be grapes or something, but it was bean ice cream, they were pretty shocked. But anyway sweet bean paste in pastry is really good, and seems to be popular in all of the Asia
