Tiarnan's taste in food

A week or two ago, when Tiarnan was sixteen months old, his mother asked him a question.

"Do you want green bean soup?", enquired Syahidah of her littlest son.

"Red bean bun.", he replied, clearly.

This was a funny reply for many reasons. Did he really want a red bean bun - or was he making a visual joke? Was he juxtaposing the red, against the green? There were many foods that he could have asked for - but he chose one that had a visual and semantic relationship with the one being asked.

It is notable that neither food was in sight.
