Son lentejas: si las quieres las comes y si no, las dejas. This is a Spanish proverb that means there is a circumstance or situation that we should or need to accept as it is. Otherwise, better to completely dismiss it. Literally, in English the proverb would sound: these are lentils: if you want them, you eat them, otherwise you refuse this food😄 (it could mean so you'll have to starve😄😄😄😄). This proverb reminds me the funny story of my grandparent's cat, that only wanted to eat as it would be a billionaire prince😄😄😄😄
Ps.: inviting friend @xiao-aine
You have lentils we have brown beans. The saying is: honger maakt rauwe bonen zoet.
Hunger makes raw beans taste sweet. No need to cook just wait till the family is starving and ready to break teeth on it. I think it's just for picky or spoiled eaters or those always complaining. If hungry you eat everything is the motto.
@eveetim @davidesimoncini qual è il tuo proverbio?/ what is your proverb?
Very good, it's all legumes😄
Sounds like my mother.
