    English has a really bad habit of mistranslating things, for some reason latte = coffee+milk, while latte means milk

    Its not mistranslated, its caffe latte but the caffe part is cut off for brevity when ordering at a coffee shop.

    And clam chowder is just a savory latte with bugs in it.

    Mm, luckily "vanilla beans" aren't actually beans. I think the people can handle the idea of a two-bean soup much better, don't you?

    Coffee is also not a been.. So it's just soy been broth with coffee and vanilla.

    No, no. I think it’s time. It’s going to be tough, but I do think you’re old enough for me to answer some difficult questions. You see, son, vanilla beans aren’t actually beans. I’m sorry you had to learn this way, but sadly, that’s not all. Coffee beans are not actually beans at all. No… I’m sorry, kiddo — what you’ve been drinking all these years is soy sauce.

    Peanut butter is just refried beans.

    Peanut butter is mashed peanuts. More like hummus than refried beans. The refried part involves cooking them a second time.

    I mean, refried comes from spanish refrito which just means 'fried well'. a dish that is called refrito doesn't necessarily involve cooking ingredients twice. although in this case you do boil the beans first and then fry them, the name doesn't actually mean you fry the beans twice as it sounds like it does

    A very thin soup. How about 3 bean consommé?

    Nope two bean. Coffe "beans" are seeds.

    Would be more of a broth or a tea no? There’s no substance which a soup usually has.

    Coffee is technically tea, but then bay broth (a foundation for chicken soup) is also technically tea.

    I thought technically its only tea if it comes from a tea plant (otherwise its just a different hot water extract) but people will call everything prepared the same way (tea kettle and some kind of filter) a "tea" similar to how some people will call any kind of cola a "coke"

    It's technically an infusion though I don't know if that changes between hot or cold water. But I think teas are arbitrarily determined: We decided that the black tea plants are teas and the weeds next to them are not based entirely on choice.

    Coke is a specific trademark connected to specific recipes. But colas are all based on the cola bean, and some decent ones that get close to Coca-cola and Pepsi-cola.

    Black, green, oolong, white tea all come from the same plant. Its just processed differently. Everything that isnt from camellia sinensis isn't a "true tea".

    How does coffee become a bean? Sure we call it that but the coffee fruit is called a cherry and the "bean" is the pit.

    True Bean™️ Resemblance

    Wiki: Coffee Bean

    Linked page main image doesn’t immediately seem to be a parallel…

    Wiki: Bean

    So instead neat looks at coffee cherry/bean diagrams/cross-sections:

    Fun fact: The "cherry" part of the coffee cherry tastes awful, but the mucilage around the bean tastes sweet. (But it has a very "green" flavor, so not everyone enjoys it.)

    Some coffee is dried still inside the cherry (natural process). Or you can take off the cherry and leave the mucilage (honey process). Or you can get rid of everything before drying (washed process). No matter which process you use, the cherry and parchment are always removed before roasting.

    Before you ever even think about different ways of roasting, beans from the same variety of plant will have different flavor profiles depending on the drying process.

    The time, thought, and effort that goes into good coffee at every stage is staggering. I totally understand why artisan coffee carries a hefty price tag.

    because you expect it to taste like milk. try plant based milks without that thought in your head. it worked for me
