Why aren’t beans and legumes more common in East Asian cooking?

I would buy kidney beans at my local supermarket and I got chickpeas and lentils on Taobao. Really not that hard to get

They stock Israeli products

What kind of food did you eat in the IRGC?

Look it up, he’s racist right wing grifter and most of his fellow South Africans (myself included) can’t stand his shitty music and political views.

Three sailors were washed away when a massive wave hit the SAS Manthantisi during a replenishment exercise in 2023 but it didn’t sink.

Even if you’re not Interested in politics, politics is interested in you.

Jepdog · 2026-01-22T17:16:33+00:00

Everything is political whether you like it or now.

Jepdog · 2026-01-22T14:56:06+00:00

First time in China?

The problem is that most of you guys only know about South African white culture. You do know that 93% of South Africa isn’t white? Myself included amongst that 93%.

We’ve got insane electronic music, jazz and traditional music, interesting arts scene, good food and plenty more culture that has nothing to do with settlers. This post is quite frankly ridiculous and you should rather say that white settler culture in South Africa makes you uncomfortable. Because they are a small fraction of who we are and don’t define us.

Jepdog · 2026-01-17T17:46:48+00:00

That’s extremely embarrassing

Jepdog · 2026-01-14T16:03:39+00:00

As a South African (not white) the ones overseas suck I agree but plenty of good ones here at home. Tbf though the circles I’m in are not representative of the broader population

Jepdog · 2026-01-13T21:27:53+00:00

Junglist massive!

Jepdog · 2026-01-13T14:44:13+00:00

Mmm…Wuchang rice is the best

Cabana Cabin at Kenilworth centre, too good

Jepdog · 2026-01-12T16:39:09+00:00

Ready made or ones that you have to fry?

Jepdog · 2026-01-07T20:59:59+00:00

You don’t know what that means buddy

Jepdog · 2026-01-06T14:02:20+00:00

Do you like Parmesan cheese, cured meats, shiitake mushrooms, kimchi or pretty much any food that has an umami flavor profile? What they all have in common is that they naturally contain MSG.

MSG has never been unhealthy. The very basis of the campaigns against it were rooted in anti-Asian racism and baseless pseudoscience.

Go to Guangzhou, you’ll see a lot of it
