There has been an entry saying that Lidl "Baked Beans" are disgusting.

Here is the contents listing for a can I've bought as an experiment:

Branded "Campolargo"
Produce of Italy.
49% Haricot Beans
27% Tomatoes
Water
Sugar
Etc,

Here in Britain "Baked Beans" are normally USA produced Navy Beans.

Perhaps I should make some home made Cassoulet out of them?

I'm no bean expert, but it looks like navy beans might just be an alternative name for haricot beans:
