Outta curiosity... (for the record, this poll is about cooked beans, lentils and chickpeas!) (I had to re-do the poll bc I messed up, sorry!)
I've always had a hard time with them because of texture reasons, so I was wondering if that's a common thing!
Reblog for a bigger sample if you can 💖

Botifarra (Catalan pork sausage) with white beans is one of the most iconic dishes of Catalan cuisine. It has historically been a simple dish, affordable by the lower classes and eaten both by farmers in the countryside and the working class in cities. For this reason, eating it was so widespread that, added to the fact that it's delicious, it has come to be considered Catalonia's national dish. It's usually eaten with allioli sauce (typical Catalan sauce made mainly of garlic and olive oil).
Nowadays, it’s still as beloved as always and often eaten in botifarrades (large meetings of people, often as part of a festivity, to cook and eat botifarres together).
Variations: instead of white beans, in autumn the botifarra can be served with the mushroom called bloody milk cap (rovelló in Catalan). Nowadays, many restaurants will also offer to change the beans for potato fries, especially for children.

Cigrons a la catalana ("chickpeas in the Catalan way"), a traditional recipe from Catalonia. A very simple stew of chickpeas and spinach. It's particularly common during Lent period.
Recipe under the cut.
Photo and recipe from catalunya.com.
Ingredients for 4 people
400 g cooked chickpeas
1/2 large onion
4 garlic cloves
a pinch of flour
2 ripe tomatoes
olive oil
salt and pepper
cooking liquid from chickpeas
few strands of saffron
garlic and parsley
roasted almonds
2 hard-boiled eggs
200 g spinach
Preparation
Prepare the roux. Sauté the chopped onion with a little salt to prevent it from burning. When cooked, add the chopped garlic and parsley, and shortly after the tomato, peeled, seeded and finely chopped. Fry gently until well concentrated. Then add the flour and stir so the mixture binds together well.
When the roux is well bound, add the chickpeas, together with their cooking liquid. Simmer gently over low heat for about a quarter of an hour.
Add the spinach in the last five minutes.
Meanwhile, make a picada with the salt, toasted saffron, garlic and almonds, all finely chopped. Dilute with the cooking liquid and add to the chickpeas. Cook for three or four minutes more and serve the chickpeas accompanied with hard-boiled eggs, cut in half.
Variants
The spinach can be replaced with chards.
You can add a little bit of bacon.
You can add a touch of raisins, a spoonful of paprika, ñora pepper, or clove.
You can use a little bit of dry bread to make the picada.
