The Baked Beans Thread

Just had a look, and they don't

And as a foot note, Asda BB's are totally rank. Worst beans EVER!!

No I couldn't find the branston ones online or instore on offer. I did get some beans from Home Bargains yesterday, 4 tins for £1. Not a brand I'd heard of but got 4 to try.

Edwardia, I thought you didn't eat beans? (Carbs ).

Nope, I don't but OH does and worse, though he eats organic most of the time and is enthusiastic about it, he has occasional Friday nights when he goes off and buys himself tinned all day breakfast and tinned processed peas :eek: and then claims he eats it to stay in touch with his working clas roots. I tell him to go buy a flat cap and a whippet instead.

Tinned all day breakfast and peas!? That sounds utterly revolting. Still doubt it's as bad as Asda baked beans though. Seriously!

I found that quite condescending. Then I realised you're a Southerner, and they're all ignorant, rude, soft, delusional, middle class dimwits, who all wear suits covered in shiny buttons, consume copious amounts of jellied eel, and all drink warm, watered down beer whilst standing around a piano singing "Knees up Mother Brown." Ironic eh?

I'm about as northern as it gets but thought Edwardia's post was funny she doesn't mean any harm

I wouldn't eat it myself but OH loves it (where is a puking emoticon when you need it?).

His remark about going back to his working class roots was humour since although husband spent the first sixteen years of his life in a council house his dad was an apprenticeship-trained ex chef -I have noo idea how/where OH picked up the all day breakfast and peas habit cos it certainly wasn't at home.

And as I'm East Anglian born Anglo-French pretty sure I'm not a Cockney me ole' china

Getting back to beans.. cheapest organic baked beans are Sainsbury's SO organic 57p. Now wondering whether I should get OH to try the ASDA organic ones...but maybe not, I already upset him by giving him Organix Goodies organic Gingerbread Men biscuits which were " F word undunkable" Labrador likes them though.

I am so fussy about beans - I like Branston ones, but not many others, however now I've read this thread I have decided to give the lidl ones a try! Edwardia - I tried the whole earth organic beans and they were really rank!!

Edwardia

Hi there Jane ! Thanks for the heads up on the org baked beans, that's one less tin for OH to try.
