The key is in the cooking.


The (Heinz) beans should be cooked over a low heat for at least fifteen minutes until started to clag and break down a bit.


At the beginning add Lea & Perrins, HP and a small hit of (Colman's) English mustard.


Serve on a thick slice of granary toast.


A meal fit for Prince.


People who don't like Bs on T tend to be the sort of nimrods who micrcowave the beans and use them to crown a couple of half heartedly singed slices of Mothers Pride.


A meal fit for a dunce.

Well, truth is that I don't have a recipe as such. It's my own thing and it's something I make in the summer when I have a glut of tomatoes on my allotment. But basically, all I do is this...


Fry some onions, garlic, celery, fresh chillis and paprika in olive oil till onions turn translucent and add some basalmic vinegar to make it sweet/sticky. Add a teeny bit of tom. puree, worcs. sauce, some muscovado sugar, any herbs (I use thyme, basil, rosemary, parsley and bay leaves), haricot beans and tons of fresh tomatoes. Then cover the lot with water. Cook slowly for up to 4 hours on top of the cooker. You need to keep returning to give the concoction a good old mix and to prevent it from sticking.


I have no rules and no measurements, just add everything according to personal taste: I'm quite heavy on the garlic, chillis and tomatoes.


I've probably forgotten something, but that's more or less it.

    • 🤣 Yes, I can't imagine they'd thank you for that. Sounds like keeping the car is probably the right thing for you.
    • That ULEZ check is not necessarily accurate, as someone pointed out above. I did it ages ago. I don't cycle. I got a bike, had a space in a bike shelter (in fact requested one on our road), had a disastrous lesson from someone who appeared to think I was about nine years old, fell off and gave up. A refugee now has my bike and someone else has my space in the shelter thing. Our tent is too big to easily take on public transport, let alone all the other stuff. If you travel light, good for you, but my backpacking days are long gone, as are my days of happily sleeping in a tent I can't stand up in! I didn't know about this zip car point to point option. Is that to anywhere in the UK? Thanks but I did all the sums when I decided to keep the car, and the convenience for me outweighed the obviously considerable annual  cost. I don't think an Uber driver would be very happy to convey things like bags of smelly compost to my allotment 🤣 Which I can take on the bus but it's somewhat embarrassing 🤣
    • If you think about the amount you spend on keeping and using a car and how infrequently you use it, you might be better just getting the occasional Uber. We often underestimate the cost of owning a car, as opposed to using a cab. There is actually a name for it in Psychology ('the taxi meter effect'). It's likely you're spending at least £1000 - £1,500 a year on keeping a car (£500 on insurance, £200 on MOT and service / repairs, £180 on VED, Then the ULEZ fee each time you use it, plus fuel, plus depreciation... maybe minimal in this case). If you put that in a separate 'pot' and used it to cover the occasional Uber, you may find your needs more than covered. 
    • Yes, En Root are excellent.
