@si_fuller @jpm Literally correct, but technically not. (I have never understood why vanilla gets called vanilla beans, the seeds are tiny, even if the seed pod is long)

@stufromoz @si_fuller @jpm oh yeah, vanilla is actually in the orchid family, it's not a legume

then again neither is coffee, coffee isn't a bean either by that definition, but we call coffee and vanilla "beans" so you're not really wrong about it being a three bean soup

or you're only wrong because i feel like three bean soup usually implies the beans are whole? but that isn't part of the strict definition, just a cultural association

@alienskyler @jpm @si_fuller also vanilla is not a bean you can eat singly
