You don't like cheese? What's not to like?

[Emerson Crane]

My son likes beans with sausages, mash, and fried onions.

I love cheese Jah...but not with BBs.

Erm...sorry EC.

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...

I actually make my own "baked beans" from time to time: takes hours on end, but well worth it. That fresh taste cannot be equalled.

Anyone remember those Bernard Matthews Mini Chicken kiev balls? They were lovely with chips and beans. All washed down with a carton of Um Bongo

['bout now]

I like My beans two ways, either on sourdough toast topped with a couple of poached eggs and Worcester sauce, or cold from the tin.

Never, ever, ever on a fry up, that's just horrific.

Just when I was about to give up on you...

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*)

Roger loves his beans.

[RosieH]

Fine sploshing Jah.

[jumpinjackflash]

sausage, beans and mash is what I'm having for dinner tonight. I'm bloody starving reading this thread.

[Jah Lush]

Nice bit of stodge for a cold winter's night. With HP sauce JJF?

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

Fry up some diced onions with your choice of spices, add baked beans, simmer for 5 mins. Eat with a naan bread.

[Applespider]

'bout now, I thought it might be just me who likes their beans cold from the tin. I like them occasionally warm with eggs... but then I need HP sauce to mix into them along with the egg yolk and some sourdough toast...

Will have to try the Branston ones...

[acumenman]

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.

Did anyone ever see that TV program about the girl who had a phobia of baked beans!? (and no I'm not 'bean' funny!)

I believe the clinical term for this phobia is Leguminophobia.
