Heinz Beans have always been too bland and sweet and mushy - always been (sic) ABH ("any but Heinz")for me, and Branston became my favourite as soon as they were "revived". I used to adore Cross & Blackwell years ago. The only exception to the ABH rule is their curried bneans with sultanas, which go marvellously with sausage and mash..


Welsh Rarebit on granary toast with a layer of beans between toast and cheese is food of the gods


Tinned baked beans and sausage (again, Heinz is okay for this as well as Branston) is great with a jacket potato..


Odd Fact: if you buy Branston beans via Ocado it has for some time been cheaper to buy 4 single 440 gram cans than one 4-pack...

Beans 'on' toast is a culinary minefield.


1. Heinz beanz / 'new and improved' Branston beans


2. on the toast / on the side*


3. with / without marmite


4. with / without grated cheese


Otherwise don't fuck about with this classic dish.


* I know someone who cannot eat it if the beans are even remotely coming into contact with the toast (*rolls eyes*)

LM, you cannot just cannot say you do your own gear and then not provide a recipe.

I buy the cheap Asda ones and heat them up on the lowest setting on the smallest gas ring,


put my plate over the top of the saucepan as a lid (this heats the plate)


and wait a few minutes stirring once or twice,


before pouring through a strainer which removes the excess salt and sugar locked in the sauce,


and then they hit the plate with the rest of the fried potato and either bacon or sausage.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      By bonaome · Posted

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      Bitey Fox.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
