Make sure the Lima beans are properly roasted, first!
*That's what the advertising claims, of course. But what sort of
"best" is not defined....

Who is this terse person, and what has he done with [Vernon]? |
|

With the addition of the footnote, no longer (solely)
a pun. The adverts should say "Naturally Caffeine
Free !!!"
But needs a Food:Evil
category. |

The purpose of this Idea is to be the Best (even if means "most hideous") distortion of a classic bit of the HalfBakery, while also qualifying as a halfbaked invention. See, [jutta] never specified that the beans used to make coffee had to be coffee beans, and so that's why I felt free to use this category for this Idea. |
|
| |
There's a long dishonorable tradition of making
coffee-beverage without coffee-beans. |

No, this is just the _beginning_ of a recipe... For really bad
moonshine. |

What? Nobody's mentioned yet that Navy coffee should be made from Navy beans? |
|
| |
And just in time for Halloween, organic coffee, brewed
with freshly harvested organs. |
|
| |
I think he meant to grind coca leaves and pour water on them for the best Peruvian Brew.
(see link) but then it's a recipe... |
|
| |
[xandram], no, read the footnote in the main text. Lima beans are correct, for this Idea! |
|
| |
I've been studying my Indonesian, and it must be working. I read this as "Grind 5 beans and pour water on them". |
|
| |
Just to add to the confusion. |
|
| |
For what it's worth, Lima in Peru is pronounced "leema" (as is the Indonesian word for 5). Lima in Ohio is pronounced "lyma", as in lima beans. |
|
| |
(I stopped in Lima, Ohio, and asked the girl behind the counter how to pronounce the name of the place. She said, "Burger King".) |
|
| |
[baconbrain], I'm not arguing with the pronunciations you mentioned (see a dictionary). However, If you called Lima beans "leema beans", do you think the average person would not know what you are talking about? (Before they attempt to correct your pronunciation, of course!) I think they would know what you are talking about. This Idea needs no modifications, therefore! |
|
| |
As I said, "For what it's worth". I have no beans to grind. [ ] |
|
| |
OK, I can't stand it any more. COFFEE IS NOT MADE FROM BEANS! It's just a colloquialism reflecting the fact that the seeds of the coffee berry are very vaguely shaped like beans; but not really, if you actually know what shape beans and coffee seeds are. |
|
| |
[spidermother] how do you pronounce "Van Gogh?" |
|
| |
FTTMM. To rhyme with loch, of course. |
|
| |
That's using the old bean. |
|
| |
[spidermother], all beans are either seeds or contain seeds (we eat pods of "green beans" mostly because they are more edible than other seed pods). I can agree that not all seeds deserve to be called "beans", and perhaps seeds of coffee plants shouldn't have been one of them. |
|
| |
Nevertheless, since they are called "beans", and since the little bit of HalfBakery lore being parodied here is about beans..... |
