We Americans have to put up with a lot of justifiable criticism about a lot of American things, but my English dudes, THIS? Even Americans know better.
heinz beans? what? just make some godsdamn bbq beans. go look up a recipe. hell, just go look up pioneer woman’s doctored canned beans if you need lazy beans, those are pretty damn good too just full of sugar.
I certainly would encourage anyone to cook it they have the time but the point of beans on toast, is it’s quick and easy. And Heinz is the best choice though an own brand is usually fine.
no, your tastes differ from mine so we must fight on the internet i prefer bush’s beans. i don’t think i’ve given heinz beans a fair shake though so like my opinion is pretty uninformed,
i usually just throw my own recipe on the smoker. if i’m not doing straight up chili, i’ll cook some beans up most of the way smooth but not entirely smooth (the smoothest hummus of your life is 45 minutes in the electric pressure cooker. i do 20 with bbq beans), make some quick gravy (mix my favorite BBQ sauces with a few spices but not too many as the meat’s rub contributes a lot, come to think of it i usually just use extra rub and bbq sauce and a can of tomato sauce) then throw it all on the smoker in a disposable foil tin with some sauteed onions and peppers underneath the meat to catch all the drippin’s and the rub that comes off the meat with it. after 2-3 hours the beans are done, stir it once an hour maybe if you want, put another foil pan underneath to protect from burning, and let it sit in with the meat until it’s done. top it up with tomato sauce, water, broth, wine, beer, rum, whiskey, or bbq sauce (whatever floats your fancy) if the liquid runs low, taste it before serving and adjust the spices. it’ll take a few attempts to get your recipe to where you want it and to figure out which sauces and rubs and spices you want to use, but it’s worth the experimentation and you get to eat the results. also they keep forever in the fridge/freezer
Sure, but I can grab a can of beans and some bread on the way home then cook and eat them in all of 20 minutes. They’re not something you make because you enjoy cooking, they’re just cheap, quick, easy, and filling.
Mijo, they will teach you that you don’t have to live like that - you can have beans so good they don’t need bread on them, or served in a tortilla with cheese and salsa.
Somewhere, many years back, I read that an alternative to British beans on toast is spaghetti-os on toast. I have no idea if this is true, but I have to say: it has always sounded delicious, but I’ve never bothered to try and make it.
Redundant carbs is the cornerstone of British working class food culture. The pinnacle of this practice is the legendary glaswegian macaroni pie on a roll.
Yes in a way, but so much more!
A macaroni pie is macaroni cheese filling in a pastry case (usually a single serving size that fits comfortably in a hand). Pie and roll is a delightfully Scottish way of eating a pie. You get a pie, and a buttered bread roll, and you put the pie in the roll, maybe with a bit of sauce (we enjoy red sauce and brown sauce in Scotland), and let nature take it’s course.
innit?
Fucking delicacy.

Ok so this is a shit photo, but seriously, go make it. Beans on toast is easy and brilliant.
Also, What’s going on with those beans? Heinz those are not!

Thats a poor representation but honestly its a fucking delicacy when done right.
England has shown itself completely incapable of self-governance.
For its own good, it should be occupied by Ireland (for historic reasons) and Mexico (to stop their ongoing abuse of beans).
I think even England would agree
As a Scot and fellow Celt I say have at it.
I wasn’t aware Mexico were considered the authority on beans. But yeah fine. As long as I can still enjoy beans on toast I dont have a problem.

The bread and pasta is redundant. That’s fucking gross, and you should know that.

Is that a macaroni sandwich?

I’ve never been so glad my ancestors left Glasgow till hearing this. You poor bastards.
Spaghetti with a side of Garlic Texas Toast is fucking amazing.
Spaghetti sandwich on garlic bread is good.
I thought I invented that while high!
