I immediately knew what we were looking for from the theme “the musical fruit” as, well, beans do have a reputation of causing people to perform a few **** notes. The way to avoid this is to use dry beans that have been soaked overnight in a pinch of salt, but that’s quite a palaver if you’re just a casual BEAN SALAD chomper.

As to the argument over the classification of beans, the answer is that technically, beans are a type of fruit, specifically a legume. However, they are often categorized as vegetables and you’re unlikely to find them hanging out with bananas.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
