All Hail the Bean Queen*
Someone found me by Google-ing "bean feast" - so I Google-ed "Bean Feast" to find out what it was all about, and can I get a show of hands from people who knew that it actually had nothing to do with lesbianism? Nope, nothing.A Bean Feast is primarily an annual dinner given by an employer to his workplace - there was a custom in olden days** of serving a cake with a bean in it and whomever was lucky enough to break his tooth on the bean... I mean, find the bean in his cake, was crowned the Bean Queen (or King)...
* Bet you thought this was going to be a post about farts - but I tricked you and made you learn something - HA HA (picture me sounding just like Nelson from The Simpsons)
** Bean feasts probably don't happen anymore due to the current litigious*** nature of society
*** Do I sound smart when I say "litigious"?
