You've been making beans on toast wrong says Heinz.

This is how Heinz says we should do it,:

Completely wrong, step 1 should be light a fire, coal preferably, but hard wood is acceptable as long as you let it burn up to a good red heat, with no flames, when the coals or wood are nicely incandescent toast the bread for a maximum of 5 seconds for each side and butter immediately. Electric toast is a poor substitute.

No baked beans full stop.
I honestly just thought they were for kids really. I don't know any adult who eats them.

Do you find that people often call you a condescending twat?

I always find it strange that something like haricot beans in a tomato sauce has become a breakfast/snack favourite. Imagine it being softened diced turnips in a herb butter sauce that everyone has with the eggs 'n bacon or on toast.

Most other items on a full English, I get. But take a step back, and look at baked beans for what they actually are made from, and it's a very odd bed-fellow.

The viral marketing is a sign Heinz need to get in the spotlight. Beans on toast as the go to cheap meal is now toast.

Yes I suppose it is. But many popular dishes were born out of necessity or simply what was available at the time to bulk out a meal. The full English is almost more of a tradition than it is a culinary masterpiece. Another example would be yorkshire pudding; it's not the first thing I'd conjure up if I were making a roast dinner, but I htink it was orginally used as a starter to fill you up

Full English, cheap cuts of pigs, black pudding, and abundance of eggs. That I get. But how many farmers/workers found themselves with a store cupboard full of haricot beans and tomatoes they were unsure how to use up?

No, But I bet people often call you very uncouth and very ignorant. Feel sorry for your kid.

Why so? If you think that I've called you a condescending twat, you need to read again what I wrote.

We have them every now and then. There are always a few tins in the house, probably eat some about once a month on average, maybe a little more, though not all that often on toast for me.

That’s because you have no adult friends

 

[Kingfisher101]

No, Its because the people I know tend to cook themselves a decent dinner and don't rely on utter rubbish like baked beans.

 

[oldwheels]

Baked beans with a breakfast fry up spoils the whole thing unless I can persuade somebody to miss them out.

 

[albion]

On seeded none white bread, beans on toast is a fairly nutritious snack.
Certainly beats cornflakes or weetabix.

Sorry no. That’s tinned tomato 🍅 for me 😀.

I don’t mind anything else in/on my fried breakfast , but if someone puts sloppy tinned tomato on it .
It all goes straight in the bin . 😀
