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.

      Personally, I think the death sentance should be brought back for anyone found to be harming animals.

      When you dig into the site, there's an ancillary domain also involved in the system: neighbourhoodalert.co.uk;  and one pointed to by the latter as an example, stayintheknow.co.uk, which seems to have been set up by Lancashire.  All three long validated by Nominet and with same registrar.    metengage_etc_whois.txt

      Another positive review and recommendation for Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes. Jan helped us repair a broken fence, which was tucked away in a difficult location. Jan was friendly, prompt and informative throughout the process. He accommodated our requests and left the repair site spotless.  His mobile is 07905950686.
