I've had vegetarian rice and beans many times, forced to by lack of money for protein. It's just a bland mixture of sadness and despair

That might have been from the lack of money, not the food itself. If you're eating them by choice and making the right dishes, beans are fucking delicious.

I understand that you associate beans with poverty, but when your circumstances are better (or now that they're already better, I don't know which) try them again, this time with some good recipes. And not the canned shit - gotta buy 'em dried, soak 'em, cook 'em in a slow cooker, instant pot, or pressure cooker.

I do eat beans all the time, its a staple food here. G

I just make them with meat, pork, sausage and the whole party

Many kinds of beans, many kinds of spices and ways of cooking. Really not more or less boring than meat, it's just that nowadays most people never bother to learn how to cook and those that do dont often focus on non-meat dishes.

Not to mention that there's lots of variety of ingredients, you don't need to eat beans every day ;)

Gotta get the spices right. Find your nearest Indian store for a free consultation.
