As an aside for the thread about that berk Eustace’s idiotic comments, I’ve been thinking about baked beans. I believe them to be one of the gods of food. Flexible, nourishing, tasty, conveniently packaged, satisfaction guaranteed in every glorious, perfectly formed tin. So, the big questions of the day are:
1. Do you like baked beans
2. What is your favourite brand
For me, the king of the B Bean is Branstons. 4 for £2 (Asda), these gems are less sugary than Heinz, less watery than own brands, good bean count and work better with other things.
For me, a good use is in chilli instead of kidney beans. I’m ok with the k bean if I eat chilli out, but if we are making a chilli the baked boys go better.
Oddest eating was in Malaysia where I had them several times for breakfast with curry. Curiously the combo worked, mainly because breakfast curries there were quite mild. Add in a bit of bacon and toast and it was brekkie fit for a king. The misses was unimpressed, mind….

They're OK
Really should only be served with a full English or onntiast for me.
Heinz or nothing. |  |

Yep
Tesco Reduced Sugar and Salt (find most sauces too sweet)
If I'm in the mood for beans, more likely to make a sort of cassoulet using leftover roast pork / ham, chorizo and mixed beans (few diced veggies, stock and tinned tomatoes for the sauce)  |  |

I'll be honest. I prefer Asda's own to Heinz or Branstons'. |  |

You can cook baked beans very nicely? Not sure that will quite get you onto Masterchef! |
We'll see about that! |  |

Chefs Larder - i buy the big tins from Booker cash and carry.
Failing that, Branstons.
Never Heinz or any of the budget supermarket ones. Yuck. |  |

Branston is the top dog on the baked bean scene 👠|
Another vote for Branstons from me.
I think this thread has really sorted out the wheat from the chaff. |  |

I was assuming Dan meant he prepares them from scratch.
Not opens a tin and heats some up! | |

What about Lidl own brand beans, where does that put me in the pecking order? |  |

That's a fair question. Someone else mentioned those elsewhere too.
I haven't yet tried them so that decision needs to be put on hold.
I'll get back to you in due course. | |

I’ve not tried them either tbh. I’ll have to hunt a tin down. | | | |

Has to be Heinz.
My partner eats baked beans with ever meal as he's not a fan of vegetables (specifically green veg like peas, sprouts, cabbage etc). Often eating out, he is substituting veg for baked beans. |  |

I was a staunch Branston guy, but Aldi's own brand beans have taken over Branston by a country mile. |  |

As i said on the other thread, Aldi , for me , are by far the best and only work out at 25p ish if you get the 4 pack. |  | | |

I tried Aldi beans and while they do some good products, Branstons sill get my vote as the king of the beanage | | | |

That's fine, as long as he's not putting baked beans on his roast... | |

I'm all for them. Cheese on toast topped with Lidl's finest, a liberal sprinkling of Hendersons and a few dots of HP sauce. |  | | |

I’m currently a Heinz man but will happily give Branstons a go. Has to be mixed in with some brown sauce ( stokes is my current choice ) nice bakers bread, we’ll buttered and some cheese on top. | | | |

That’s a great combo.
Mixing with a tin of tomatoes, chilli flakes, a tiny amount of cumin, black pepper, Lea & Perrins, a little chopped onion, even a bit of celery, a burp of ketchup reduce down and jobs a good un. |
Beans, chilli flakes, cumin and possibly smoked paprika. Toast with melted cheese and this on top is a thing of culinary beauty.
Done. |  | | |

Well, forget the local elections. The important vote is in.
Branstons won by a health majority
Heinz formed the main party of opposition, but fell well short
Minor parties include Lidl, Aldi, Asda own brand
There were a few spoiled papers by the bean atheists, but the duly elected baked beans member for TWTD is Branstons.
Hurrah! [Post edited 6 May 2022 7:50]
