Aldi beans

[BoldonLad]

Handy household tip #57
Store baked beans (in their tins, obv..) upside-down in the pantry. That way, when you open them, the right way up, the bean juice isn't all at the top, and the beans won't be clagged up at the bottom.

Have not heard that phrase for many years! Thought it was uniquely a Tyneside / Wearside expression!

They're not actually baked - I'm surprised some bureaucrat has prosecuted Heinz under the trade descriptions act.

Now, there is a thought, I wonder, could I claim some form of "injury" due to the deception? Could be a claim there.

Both MrsPete and my mum are from there, though I don't consciously remember either using the term. I must have absorbed it via their waffling.

It's been in widespread use in Yorkshire for as long as I can remember. On that basis, we probably invented the term...

It would annoy me seeing tins of beans upside down in the cupboard. Must have a touch of ocd.
I just shake the tin before opening.

Could you not take the label off and replace it the other way up?

I used some of our stock of Aldi beans in a chilli tonight. After 1/2 hour they were still like little bullets. But after 1 1/2 hours they have softened.

What'd happen when they go to open them?

I chucked ours in a slow cook curry, that did the trick.

Cold baked beans are good in a salad.

Cold baked beans are good straight from the tin.

For all you bean fetishists.

No idea what brand our Ken specified:

Saw this at an impressionable age but must admit that nice as Ms margaret is it didn't really do anything for me.

I've never been tempted to eat baked beans straight from the can since I read this story a few years ago:

So you prefer your mice cooked ?

Just get them in ring-pull cans.

No tin opener!
