I've literally never heard of this.
That's 810 fucking calories of butter.

>be me, in London, England with friend and his very religious family for Christmas
>they all say a prayer thanking God for the "carbs of the land", grandfather comes out with a huge bowl of heinz beanz
>passes it round, everyone takes a double handful of beans (including me after nudged by friend)
>Grandfather says "amen" everyone starts eating the beans
>Really confused and start awkwardly nibbling on them out of my hands
>Friend tells me I'm meant to eat it
>Half try but feel sick
>Friend walks me out and explains not eating it is like rejecting god's gift, he knows it's stupid but his family take it seriously
>do it, meal goes on like normal
>Afterwards ask if this is a common thing, apparently it is in London but not other areas/cities

So is this actually common n England? I don't think he was pranking me cause of how serious everyone was and how EVERYONE finished their beans. Just if I was unclear, by "beans" they were greasy ketchupy britslop, at least 2 cups

For me, it's the great American buttersteak.

>is this thing i autistically made up because i hate americans common in america
sure, dude

It's real, but not common at all and only in "flyover" states. Your friends family probably moved there from somewhere like Kansas, it is not a common thing in Texas. It's called "god's grace" and is meant to be difficult but god helps you

t. 32 yo boomer whose parents do this shit

I grew up in the midwesf in an area with a lot of dairies and my retarded evangelical grandfather patriarch forced this ritual on everyone at the table. I never mentioned it to anyone because I was embarrassed about it, so it's comforting to see that others have been similarly tortured. Was a major impetus to me becoming an atheist vegan, I'll say that much.

No, it's not common. It is uncommon for someone to just 'accept' that as it is instead of sticking your backbone up straight and saying, "fffuuck no baby, I ain't about that jazz."
It's simple.

In France after dinner you're supposed to kiss the cook while your mouth is full, disgusting. Everyone has to stand in line to kiss the cook with food in their mouths and then they have to burp in the cook's mouth
