“Too many” kinda sounds right to my ear because beans is plural, but the second logically seems right because its served by volume and is not ‘countable’ as ordinary (non-destroyed) beans might be.

    When it comes to refried beans, “too many” or “too much” are both incorrect. The correct construction is “may I have some more please?”

        Also, I’d love to see a version of Oliver Twist where the orphanage exclusively serves tex-mex for some reason.

        19th century london orphan taste buds who are used to the blandest of the blandest slop only get to eat really spicy food at the orphanage for the added cruelty.
