Baked Beans

Brendan_O_Connell

Following on from the compromise thread (http://www.charltonlife.com/discussion/comment/1917448#Comment_1917448), I decided, last evening, to give Branston baked beans a go.

Sorry, but Heinz are much better (in my opinion). I will continue to not compromise on baked beans going forward (but I did give it a go!).


Since I was young...
I’ve always ate....
The Heinz baked beans....
The brand for me......

Beanz Meanz Heinz

Its just an example of how strong a marketing campaign can impact a nation. I am pretty sure that in taste tests, one of the own brand (I think Sainsburys) wipes the floor with Heinz every single time.

The more you fart the more you eat, and that's why beans are good to eat

Beans beans the musical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot, the more you toot the better you feel, so eat beans with every meal

A million housewives every day pick up a tin of Beans and say Beanz Meanz Heinz

BRANSTON TILL I DIE (thank you @elthamaddick - it was your recommendation a few months back that made me try the branston beauties!)

Elthamaddick

I think Heinz are the king of beans, tried the rest, they didn't past the test.

Quite fond of the american incarnation of baked beans - in a brown/BBQ type sauce.

Ross

People who mix baked bean sauce with tomato ketchup should be hung, drawn and quatered.

I cant stand beans, wouldn't even eat anything on the plate with beans on there.

always heat in a pan (not the microwave) and chuck a bit of butter in when heating to thicken the sauce up.

don't mind Heinz or Branston.

I like to put curry powder in my beans..........Loverlee. Keeps me regular.

My missus hates beans.........

I buy cannellini, kidney and Black-eyed beans. Mix, add some olive oil and white wine vinegar.
Much nicer than baked beans IMHO

I was in supermarket this morning and looked at the Branston beans thinking who would buy them when they're the same price as Heinz? Then I find this thread, weird.

Curry powder on beans?

That's enough to blow a hole through anyone's jock strap. I wouldn't want to light a match after you've let one rip..

superchrissypowell

Branston beans are miles better than Heinz! Heinze ketchup on the other hand is the best

Have you ever read Billy Liar. Great book. You would love it.

My favourite combo. Chips, beans, mayo. Get that mayo mixed in with the bean juice. Out of this world.

Baked Beans. Love 'em and my favourite food. I used to eat them cold, with a spoon, straight from the tin. The salt reduced/free are actually good for you too! I don't care about the brand
