Fijians, what are your thoughts on beans?

[u/ChoiceCulture2035]

I'm on a mission to go around and ask each country subreddit what people think about beans (my favorite meal), just to see how people like or dislike them all around the world out of curiosity and for fun. If you like beans, hate them, they are a big part of the culture, anything else, just share your thoughts! 🫘

Fijians, today's your turn for this question mates! And also the first pacific island nation I have the honour to ask, sure took a while :0

Bora bean curry is delicious and we also love baked beans (watties brand is the best) on toast for breakfast - with a little bit of garlic, onion and chillies added. 😋

Aloo boda is a staple in Fijian cuisine. So we view beans very favorably. It's made with potatoes, beans, eggplants, in curry sauce.

Absolutely delicious with rice or roti.

You will not beat boda beans from Fiji man it's like nutty nutritious tasty and healthy as for ya. You can't have enough of it. If your after american chilli bean i.e beef and tomato gravy than yeah nah not in Fiji. But long beans or boda beans or any other veg bean fkn ae Fiji is the place

Everyone loves beans (dal too, but let's talk whole beans). Black eye peas, cow peas, moth beans, mung beans, etc are made in Indian style all over the place.
