I was wondering what to do with the beans. How does one prepare them? Eat them?

 

Just drain and eat them with your favorite beverage.

Yup, that's the short version. When I lived in Vancouver in the 80s, my best friend was a first-generation Italian-Canadian and these were a frequent drinking snack. Just drained, and sprinkled very lightly with salt (if they're not already salty enough).

 

You'll see that one end of each bean has a small opening. Place that against your lips, squeeze the hull, and the bean will pop into your mouth leaving the leathery husk behind. Chew, swallow, drink, repeat.

My beer merchant continues to occasionally send me little gifts with my 6-packs. Today's offering was this

 

 

鱼尾 (yú wěi) is 'fish tail' and that is what this is. Some unidentified fish tail in a Sichuan flavour sauce.

 

 

Great taste; horrible texture. Like spicy Brillo pad.
