Which is why I never eat beans anymore.

A conclusion I am forming at this time.

Legumes are pretty darn good for you, which is why I eat them.  They do not bother me, though.  Try having a small glass of wine with the meal.  I use to get a bit of indigestion when eating an Italian dinner, but the glass of wine prevents that.

Lentils and peas do right by me, I tend to stick to those for my legumes. I try to eat corn with my beans to help with digestion, but it didn't work out this time.

... which is why, in Indian cooking, they lay on a bunch of spices and clarified butter. Absolutely delicious that way!

I've never understood food items that you have to spice to hell and back in order to make them taste good...can't you just eat something that is good to begin with!?

I quite enjoy chilis too...I don't use super hot ones but medium hots add nice bit of flavour and hotness without burning your mouth.

It's more a matter of finding the spices that *work* with a particular food, and India has loads of good things that bring out savory flavors. Cumin, turmeric, curry, they all work well together with the dal (lentils) for some great dishes.
