As every Texan knows, Bean Dip is a form of refried beans.
Hikeaday, being a damn yankee, doesn't quite understand the term
refried. Refried to him means, frying it over again. I, on the
other hand am a born and raised true Texan with limited knowledge
of the Spanish language. But this is what I've come to understand
about refried beans; The English term "refried", often interpreted
as "fried again", is a mistranslation of the Spanish word
"refrito". The prefix "re-" is commonly used in Mexican dialects to
add emphasis to words. The beans are fried only once and the term
refrito is actually a reference to overfrying the bean paste so
that it dries out to retain a shape for serving purposes. After
some discussion, he still thinks it should be called "overly fried
mushed up beans". But hey, what would you expect from a damn
yankee!
