Heinz Baked Beans

[bluegreen 0]

Wow five pages, eh?? I now know that if I need some fun reading, all I have to do is come over here to the UK forum and start a food dialogue.

With that said, I mentioned to Mum that I had found Heinz beans, and she asked if I saw any of the Heinz Curry Beans in my travels, because she can't even find those in Canada. Although I just usually put some curry powder in them and I think they taste the same.

Also, what about self raising flour (I have not looked very hard for this yet though)?

Okay so...

The only Heinz beans available around here are "Heinz Vegetarian Beans" in a green can.

Is this what I should stock up on for him?

He can't stand the Bush's, especially the flavor I like... "Maple Cured Bacon".

No worries, I'll open one can of Bush's for me and the kids, and I'm sure he'll finish off a can of Heinz on his own!

This is a pic of the can you'll want to purchase:

Why thank you.

But as an American reading the label... "Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce"... I would naturally expect it to be baked beans in red spaghetti sauce. I'm guessing it's not.

I can't wait to discover for myself the exact appeal of "beans on toast". Anyone care to explain?

Sounds repulsive, but I'm sure it's... edible.

... yuck but the Bush's Vegetarian are the closest if you can find them locally, but luckily my local supermarket has an "International" area that sells Heinz Baked beans...and Bachelor Baked Beans ... which I like better

They are the BEST

I think it's possible that the appeal of beans on toast has to be ingrained from an early age, otherwise the appeal is simply not as strong

Meh, beans on toast is alright. I've had it like...twice. Totally edible and good if you're hungry. Think it is ingrained probably. I love Chef Boyardee spaghetti sandwiches for god's sake, who would I be to talk

I actually have been procrastinating not doing my essay for awhile and just came across this recipe beans sandwich

baked beans, onion, tomato, cheese and bacon on english muffins Hey it's got a five star rating, I bookmarked the dang thing

FYI I went by the store today and Harris Teeter here DOES have Heinz brand (love the purdy color of the can). I think it was like $2.80ish whereas Van Camp's was like 80 cents. Screw that. Thought maybe it'd be cheaper here in the south but noooos.

Nobody commented on the pic I posted I guess noone knows what it is and what it tastes like

[StillThePrettiest 3]

I had to go back four pages to find it

Spotted #######? it's a bready/spongy sort of pudding... the spots are currants/sultanas

it tastes fine

Sorry guys This title reminded me of this. I found it in the store here. Is anyone familiar with that?

Yep, spotted ####### is goooood It's best served with hot custard

It's made from suet... Does anyone know if I can buy suet in America???

Hopefully not, then I'll be spared from having to eat all of those deliciously fattening dense sponge puddings.

I've seen it in some ethnic supermarkets/butcher shops. I'm sure the average butcher will get you some if you ask, though.

I have actually had the Heinz beans and to me the are quite bland. They taste like beans in the sauce from Spaghettios. Not terrible, just not really exciting to the palate, IMO.

Am I the ONLY person that doesn't actually mind Walmart?

I don't mind the Super Walmart they recently opened here. It's clean, tidy, and if you time your visit right, not too many people shopping.

However yesterday we were at the other end of town and there was a Walmart there. I needed a cheap belt so we stopped to see if they had one there. It was a horrible dirty nasty place. I actually said as we left, now I see why everyone hates walmart so much

On the down side, we found some Spicy Sweet Chilli Doritos there (And they're pretty much the same as the ones in the UK in the red bag which are my all time favourite flavour) so we might have to go there again as they are the only place we've seen them since the first time we got them a few weeks ago

As for the other things, Heinz Beans, HP sauces and Ribena (and a couple of the Robinsons drinks) are readily available down here in Publix so that's ok

I don´t know about suet but the ####### is sold at World Market

What the heck is suet...is it some kind of meat product? In pudding? Omg you guys stop eww.

I had bread pudding once in Edinburgh at this restaurant called Howie's. Only it was cheating. It was dark chocolate bread pudding and huge and hot and omg the best thing EVER. So delicious....

It's true that older non-super Walmarts tend to really suck and be really disgusting, same goes for the Kmarts that are left around here. I don't even think about those though, they're just like...huge bleak dollar stores or something.

My hometown's sheriff office is in the Walmart

Suet

It used to be made from beef fat but I don't think it is now....
