Good news for baked bean lovers

[peterpan]

Went to Lotus this Am and saw a can of Brooks baked beans, thought I would give them a spin. Brooks stuff is normally OK and always well priced.



These compare well in price with Ayam brand, which have way too much sugar at 8%. I know that certain English people like Ayam, but they also like warm flat beer, which tells me lot.
Ayam do manufacture a light BB's with 4% sugar but the taste like crap.

Anyway, I looked on the back of the Brooks can to see how much sugar they contained, 4% and then saw who they were manufactured by.

For Brooks by SPC in Australia.
SPC beans are nearly as good as the Kiwi Heinz ones, so thats good news, for me anyway, good beans at only 39B a can.

I try to limit beans to once a week because I am concerned about Green house gaes and a good feed of beans will produce enough Methane from myslf to make a significant contribution, but my kids love them and they don't seem to suffer the same problem with Flatulance that I do.

Have you heated them up and eaten them yet?

[peterpan]

Jai Yen yen Mate. They are made in OZ so have no doubt that they will be good. I will give them a run in the morning with my saturday AM fry up.
If I ate them now, the timing will be so that I suffocate my 'ol lady and kids with highly noxious gases tonite.

[kingwilly]

and that would be a problem, in which way?

[peterpan]

Now ya got me to thinking

[Little Chuchok]

As we all know,"the more you fart the better you feel,so eat BB's with every meal."

[Sir Burr]

Great, I'll give them a try. I usually buy Ayam, but that's because there really wasn't an altrnative. I agree, too sweet.
I love 'Skin-heads on a raft' for breakfast (that's baked beans on toast to you).

Beans, Beans, the magical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot.

I will be trying the Brooks if I can get hold of a tin.

[Thetyim]

PP, I think your perception of what makes a good bean to be flawed.
The taste, colour and flavour are irrelevant.
The gas making qualities are paramount .
This is the beans raison d'etre.

Please report back with a measured or estimated cubic metre per serving.

[slimboyfat]

cant you get Heinz beans easily over there?

we have both the UK and Australian ones in nearly all the supermarkets.

Understandably the Aussie ones are half the price of the UK variety

[NickA]

^Yes, but they are quite pricey

[man with no head]

Wow, I ought to smuggle a suitcase full of canned baked beans into LOS next month.

[NickA]

I have now bought a tin of Brooks from Topps, 45 baht, I will try them soon and supply a full feed and fart report for your dllectation.

Heinz are about 60 baht a tin. Ayams are about 30.

Pictures please, because I didn't understand a word of that.

[Spin]

Weird i know, but i love baked beans cold from the fridge.

[Little Chuchok]

^they are best cold,not weird at all.

[Marmite the Dog]

They are made in OZ so have no doubt that they will be good.

Not really a certainty. Your yeast extract, cheese and beer is shite, so why shouldn't your baked beans be shite too?

[Thetyim]

^^Yep one of my favs.
Cold baked beans with mayo

You are a sick, sick man........

In NZ, Sanitarium make a truly crap version of Marmite. It's so bad, it tastes the same as Vegemite.
