Beans on toast

[KW Driver]

A true Ulster fry doesn't have any sign of beans on the plate. Plus we have Potato and Soada bread instead of toast .

I never said where I had them.

never ate in Ulster either. I do like soda bread.

Every once in a while I get a craving for the old British beans on toast. There’s two stores that stock Heinz beans locally. The price here in Northern California is crazy.View attachment 1709515

As a kid living in southwest Virginia, I ate a lot of pinto beans on cornbread.

I draw the line at raisins in my beans.

Raisins in a curry are nice. They rehydrate and become a flavour bomb.
With that said I'm not thinking of beans, but I would try it if I saw it out of curiosity. Still, it does sound funky.

Wow, that price is mental! A bit of a premium is understandable for an import but that seems far too high, and it seems these are being directly exported from the UK by Heinz itself.

Do you ever drive up to British Columbia?

The made-in-Canada "Original" and "British Style" can be had for as low as $1.45 USD per tin (along with several other styles). Cheaper in 4-pack or 9-pack


If you're set on "the real thing", the UK imported tin is commonly available for as low as $2.18 USD.

Pretty sure we have this on the east coast of Canada as well.

I absolutely salute your dedication to the cause! If one is going to make to make beans on toast then it must be done properly, regardless of price, and simply no other bean will do. We are not here to f*** spiders.

It goes without saying that the toast should be buttered, but for added Britishness, and a truly next level BoT experience - try wanging a load of Marmite on too.

My mother use to make beans and cornbread with a side of fried potatoes every Wednesday. Then we had leftovers on Thursday.

Good grief not Marmite .

I always put Marmite on the toast with scrambled or poached eggs on toast. Delicious.

To be honest, I use the Aussie Vegemite as I think it's nicer!

Marmite and vegetate are really a love or hate food

This is a fun video of teens from the USA trying British foods. It’s rather entertaining……

These navy beans will be baked on low for several hours, taking on a nice brown hue and reducing down to the desired consistency. I make them vegan and add finely diced veg to the stock for flavour.

carrot
onion
tomato
sweet pepper
yellow mustard
molasses
apple cider vinegar
brown sugar
tomato paste

One of my favorites but haven’t had any in a long while. My family’s from a small town in eastern Kentucky. So small that if you’re not from there or have friends or family there you’d miss it unless you drive by the post office. And if they had a welcome/come again sign it would be on the same side of the sign on both sides and out front of the post office

The price here in Northern California is crazy.

HOLY Euthanised Dingoes, Batman!! thats $8.50AUD and i scream at 2.30 for Watties beanz

With canned beans, pour out half the sauce. Add ketchup, sugar or syrup (or saccharine), minced onion, ground black pepper and a little Worcestershire. Fantastic!

 

[Quaznoid]

I found the beans for a better price!

These are not good beans and I don’t say that only because they’re Heinz. They’re just not good. Try Campbells.

My favorite is Boston Baked Beans, with quite a bit of extra's, but I think I want to try some of @Quaznoid's recipe.

So are Heinz beans the go to here? I admit I was astonished at the price, but I found this-

in the "foreign" aisle of my supermarket. Am I doing it right? White toast? Need some help here.

 

[Mr. Shavington]

My recipe for beans on toast is:

3 slices of white toast, allow to cool, spread with butter and Marmite (never Vegemite - we’re not animals)
1 large tin of beans, heated in a saucepan and poured on top
Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese

I recommend Ribena as the appropriate beverage to complement the meal. I can’t explain why it goes so well, but it does.
