Baked Beans

[Pleb]

The whole country can't get enough of them.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sauce is far too sweet.

[Spikey M]

There's not an option for 'they're alright', so I went 'Love them'.

What a pleb.

[Lewis]

Remember when Heinz used to do those frozen baked bean pizzas? Why has that never become a widespread thing? Because they were belting.

[Pleb]

Didn't some takeaway chain bring them back at some point?

[John]

They used to sell baked bean pasties like the ones Greggs do too and they binned those for some reason.

[Lewis]

You see the concept come back every now and again, but I'm saying it should be a staple thing you can get everywhere all the time. To the point where if you order a pizza you should have to say whether you want it with beans or 'just tomato sauce'.

[Spikey M]

I've never been a fan of beans outside of on toast, on Jacket Potato or in a fry up. My Stepdads second wife served them up with Shepherds Pie once and It ruined the whole week.

Someone once gave me a chilli with them in. Horrific.

[Shindig]

I only ever seem to have them as part of a Full English.

Someone recommended that to me once. I didn't try it, but I've also never taken their advice on anything since. Just because it's a bean, it doesn't make it a reasonable replacement for a Kidney Bean. I'd rather nosh off Sean Bean for sustenance.

You fucking wot. :sick:

[Lewis]

Here we go. You don't own pizza mate.

[Pleb]

I hear everyone is stockpiling on baked beans :sherlock:

[mugbull]

They're awful, but sort of in the same vein I'll never be able to convince anyone of how amazing kohlrabi is (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohlrabi) and so I respect any cultural ethos borne of a harsh past.

[Luca]

The reaction is less out of some puritanical desire to only ever have the same 10 toppings on a pizza, and more to do with the fact that mushy, sweet beans just don’t sound like a very nice topping.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I haven't got many baked beans in. I have loads of kidney beans though. Mexico didn't see off the conquistadors on chipotle dressing alone.

My Dad grew kohlrabi in his garden for at least 20 years. I didn't know the English name for it until about 3 years ago.

We used to it raw thinly sliced with some lemon and salt, it was brilliant.

[Danny]

Love them. To the point where I spend more than I should on a tin a couple of times a month in the international food section.

[Giggles]

Branston are the nicest.

I’d love to try this pizza though. Don’t know how I missed that one.

I tend to find cheaper own brand ones eliminate this issue a bit. Coop beans are my beans of choice. Strong mature cheddar and brown sauce cuts through the sweetness as well. Mmm, beans.

[Mike]

I can't stand them and I wish I liked them so much. I just can't.

[Raoul Duke]

100% knew before I even opened this thread that Mahow would be in here posting some deviant nonsense before diverging into some obscure Eastern European/Mediterranean equivalencies.

Beans are fantastic. Tasty, filling versatile and make you fart like the BFG. Glorious.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Beans are brilliant.

Baked beans are shit because of the sauce.

[Raoul Duke]

You are a terrible human

[Lewis]

I put salt in them when I'm making them, or put salt on them when I'm given them. #lifehack #masterchef

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You are a terrible human

I also hate ketchup.

[Boydy]

Is there not already quite a lot of salt in a tin of beans?

[Lewis]

Sorry, did we lose the Cold War?

[Luca]

On the topic, I made a cracking pasta e fagioli this week. :drool:

[Giggles]

Sorry, did we lose the Cold War?

:lol:

[SincereTheRebel]

Beans are good. Can go with a variety of quick meals. I don't eat it as much as I used to but baked beans with a jacket potato are the business.

[mugbull]

Sorry, did we lose the Cold War?

If the timeframe of reference is 2020 then yes

[Jimmy Floyd]

I found a four pack of beans earlier. Now just on the hunt for paracetamol and my war footing will be more or less complete.

[Giggles]

Tins are the way to go these days.
