The strange bean thing might be a Samosa? The appearance and description from the author, along with them saying it came from a curry joint makes me think Samosa. I don't remember the taste too much other than it wasn't really my kind of thing, and I'm no drinker, but the taste of Samosa I think I remember does seem like it'd go well with beer.
Also, that profile image thing was darn cute, their relationship is as pure as it is perverse .w.;
