The moment you’ve been waiting for.
Well, last night it was home made chilli with rice. Very nice, but I prefer it with baked beans. So for two portions, half a tin of baked beans is sufficient. What about the other half?
Well, into the saucepan Branston’s finest went. A little chilli powder, a few chilli flakes, a little chat masala (a great spice), six turns of ground pepper and a teaspoon of tomato ketchup.
Heat high then reduce to puthering. Drop a couple of slices of Warburtons toastie into Russell Hobbs’ fine creation. When done, slather on the good quality butter. Cut the two slices into four isosceles triangles, put on the side of the plate and dollop on the beans the other side.
A warming, cost effective, nourishing lunch in no time - sorted!
Thank you. |  | | |  |

"Warburtons" and "good quality butter".....hmmmmm. Not so sure they go together. [Post edited 17 Nov 2025 14:22]

So...beans on toast then?
All that's left to do is stick a three figure price tag on it and serve it to Dollers. |  |

We roasted a ham yesterday - boiled for two hours in full fat coke, with a treacle and sugar glaze. First time we've tried that but we are hosting christmas & boxing day for the first time so a bit of a dry run for that.
Smashing success. So big chunks of ham in soft white roll with red onion chutney (x2) for lunch. |  | | |

Well any toastie loaf will do or if you have good quality bakery bread, which I didn’t have today, even better. | | | |

I also had chilli and rice as it happens, but mine was slightly more "traditional" than yours. I make my own chilli paste as well. |  |

I had 2 x jacket potatoes with a bit of Aldi's finest butter, and a tub of coronation chicken filling. It cost me considerably less than £9. | | | |

Sounds good. Whilst if have chilli out as a guest, street food or restaurant with traditional beans, I actually prefer baked when making it. | | | |

Bit harsh, even from Radio Norwich’s Alan Partridge.

I've been cooked a roast beef dinner for two days running now, whilst yesterday's was the traditional offering (with a pint of Otter bitter and apple crumble with custard for afters) today's had roast parsnips instead of potatoes. Going to have to moderate my diet tomorrow. |  |

I tend to have 3 or 4 bean chilli so baked beans would be overkill. Sometimes have it with pasta, sometimes rice. | | | |

I actually am with you on the baked beans, I also like adding them to either shepherds or cottage pie, I'm a fellow heathen I guess.
Lunch for me today was what was left of the red lentil dhal I made a couple of evenings ago and I have to say, it had aged well and probably better than the first sitting. |  |

Yes, BBs work well in Shepherds/Cottage pie. You don’t need too many, but enough gives it a nice savoury tang. | | | |

Was in London last weekend. In one of these posh wholefood shops saw a tin of baked beans for £7.50 | | | |

As MM would say, bonkers.
You can buy 6x tins of the king of baked beans, Branstons, for about £2.50. Sometimes less.
Own brand Lidl or wherever cost even less an are perfectly ok if you are going to add them to something or visa versa - or make baked bean soup.
Nourishing food for no money.
The only BB make I am not so keen on is Heinz. Too sugary for me, but the Heinz baked bean book has great recipes and a good historical summary. | | | |

“Baked Bean soup”?
Are you going through a Delia phase? |  |

To lift the dish next time I recommend introducing a generous spoonful of sandwich spread at puthering. | | | |
