fr did I just make a dumb post

Give it the beans James!

Yes lmao

No. The automod is just sentient and like to make jokes.

I don't know any place that serves beans, so I was just staying silent.

Your best bet now that Durgin Park (tourist trap) is gone would probably be to catch a church "bean supper" - I'm sure somewhere on the South Shore will still have them.

It will be dirt cheap and you'll be the youngest person there by 50 years.

Hasn't really been a thing in Boston in a very long time, but the Union Oyster House has a side dish of baked beans. The last place to really serve them was Durgin-Park, but that closed in 2019 after being open for almost 200 years.

Also, be aware that calling Boston "beantown" is becoming a local faux pas. The only acceptable bean reference I can think of is the Beanpot college hockey tournament.

As a sidenote, the link you attached has a bunch of theories that are probably incorrect, given that the Boston National League baseball team was called the Beaneaters as early as 1883.

We all figured out that Boston baked beans are kinda gross and no longer make them.

Lol, good bot.

Make yourself an old fashion Boston franks, beans and brown bread with lots of mustard. It was like a freaking mandatory meal at one time when you were a little kid.

I haven’t heard someone say beantown unironically since like 2002 and even then I thought it was weird

Glad we agree

Look in tourist traps.

Go to the grocery, buy a can of B&M. Get a can of bread while you’re at it.

That’s just about as “authentic” as it gets.

KFC Beans are better, anyway.

The Fours still serves homemade baked beans as a side. Boston location closed but Quincy location is open.

A little, but it’s adorable. The brand is B&M and you eat them with boiled hot dogs, on a TV tray, in your jammies. If you want more just scream “Ma! Ahe thehe any mohe beans?”

George's Coney Island in Worcester makes their own baked beans, I believe.

The automod is like the shithead in your friend group that makes really bad jokes, nobody laughs, then tells people to "lighten up".

Beantown Pub has it on their menu as an appetizer.

Boston baked beans are a traditional Yankee poor peasant food--you won't find them in a restaurant.

Here is a good recipe, similar to how my mom makes them.

If you want to be extra authentic, make some brown bread to go with.
