    The question is, are you willing to sacrifice 146 beans for 8 pork sausages?

    Not that I'm a bean counter, but...

    ...by my calculation you only get 11 sausages with 26 beans left over.

    When it comes to good full English, beans should be regarded as a side dish, nay condiment! Meat and eggs first!

    ^ Nah... toast first...
    Straight into the egg until it runs out of wet yolk, then some more toast into the beans, then scoff the bacon,sausage,shrooms,black pudding and finally grab the last bit of toast to mop up all the remnants of beans, HP and wet fat .
    Then wash it down with a nice cup of tea.

    Any man worth his salt builds a sandwich with the toast/fried bread then finishes up with what's left.

    Then crack a beer and wash it down like a real man.

    I'm gonna say something controversial here:

    Branston beans are the best baked beans on the market at the moment.

    A thicker sauce and not as sweet as Heinz.

    There, I've said it. Stone the heretic!

    A good mug of builders tea fits only two meals. One is a full English breakfast, and the other one is Cod and Chips.

    Snubby reminded me to post this!

    The Baked Bean thread-20230831_123326-jpg

    I actually prefer HP or Branston, which are also cheaper at home, but what's that on the mark up with import taxes to the EU? About a quid?

    Only a bin lid more to enjoy the exquisite delights of beans on toast with melted cheddar cheese and brown sauce.

    Just need to find the brown sauce now...

    I prefer HP if I can find them, never tried Branston but will take a look next time I'm in the UK.

    €2.49 for a tin of beans is a bit of a mark up! They are €1.80ish in Germany and non brand supermarket, which aren't too bad*, are under €1.

    I can't get Beanz with pork sausages though so have to smuggle them in from the UK.





    * All of them are better than Ayam Brand.

    Tea with Cod 'n' chips?? The thought had never entered my mind. Good pint of bitter is the only way to wash them down.

    Correct. Strong British builders tea! With a couple of slices of white bread and butter. (Sarson’s malt vinegar is a must too).
    It must be a northern thing!

    Kids know it all these days.

    The other day I explained to the daughter that Gala Pie isn't made using an extra long egg, but by abutting several normal eggs against one another.

    She said, 'I know dad... do you think I'm stupid?'

    Don't they grow up fast.

    Are you making beans on toast wrong? Heinz employs ‘etiquette expert’ to show how

    Food firm has William Hanson explain ‘quintessentially British’ method for making the British staple


    It is the saviour of students, the comfort of lone eaters, the succour of the culinarily challenged, and apparently the only meal Sir Patrick Stewart has cooked since 1948. Beans on toast is one of the quickest, cheapest and easiest meals available, but the Great British public has, it has been claimed, been making it all wrong.

    Experts at Heinz have released the perfect method (note: other opinions are available) of making the lazy cook’s staple which starts, controversially, with putting bread in a toaster and ends with, you guessed it, pouring beans on to buttered toast.

    At the behest of Heinz, the “etiquette expert” William Hanson has decreed that the “only way to eat your beans is in a quintessentially British manner”. And while you may think that implies the need for starched napkins, the best silver and perhaps a monocle – it actually equates to white bread, unsalted butter, shaking the can and using a stainless steel pan.

    In a TikTok video, Hanson argues that white farmhouse-style bread is the best option for the simple meal, and (inexplicably) warns against using salted butter. “When having beans on toast, don’t drown your toast with beans, this is not your local lido,” he states. “A good butter – unsalted, of course, because we’re not heathens – will ensure it keeps its crisp crunch.”

    According to YouGov, beans on toast is the eighth most popular dish in the UK (behind the English breakfast, which is the top preference, and chips, which comes second) with just under half of the population eating it at least once a week.

    Also in the instructions from Heinz – which sells about 1.5m cans of baked beans a day – is that the can should be stored upside down at about 18C and shaken for five seconds before opening to ensure an “even beans to sauce distribution”.

    Beans should then be warmed for 3-4min in a stainless steel pan to preserve their “iconic taste” and – God forbid – never boiled. The optimum temperature is 64C for instant eating, and 75C if you need time to “finalise your toast”.

    “Never boil your Heinz beans,” warns the company. “This can cause the sauce to split, potentially ruining the colour and flavour.”

    How to make the perfect beans on toast

    Step 1
    Place two slices of a white farmhouse loaf in toaster.

    Step 2
    Store can upside down, and shake for 5 seconds before use to ensure even beans to sauce distribution.

    Step 3
    Warm beans on the hob for 3-4min, stirring constantly. Do not boil the Beanz.

    Step 4
    Spread your butter evenly on the toast up to the crust.

    Step 5
    Place toast on a plate. Pour on beans.

    Step 6 (optional)
    Grate cheese on hot beans and let it melt for 2min.

    How strange, Heinz don't know how the Brits cook beans, at least in our household.

    Got to be boiled until the juice thickens and must be enough on each slice of toast to soak in and soften.
