blonde poker forum

Recently when at the supermarket, I thought I would take a risk and try some of the new varieties of Heinz "Mean Beanz".  They look like baked beans, but come in a strange mix of flavours.  Normally I like to stay with things I know, whenever I go to dinner or order takeaway, I always order exactly the same thing. So this was a big gamble for me.

My two favorite foods are macaroni and curry. When I looked at the various tins of beans, I knew I was in luck as the majority of them were flavoured with some kind of spicy sauce. After a bit of a look, I opted for Jalfrezi, Mexican, Sweet Chili, Tandoori, Madras and Thai.

 So far I have tried the first four. It was a tough choice deciding which to try first. In the end, I decided to work from the left side of my kitchen cupboard to the right. By doing it this way, it keeps things neat and tidy.

Out of these flavours, I would recommend the sweet chili.  It has a great taste. The others aren't very tasty. Overall, I would still say baked beans in tomato sauce are the best type of haricot covered bean. However the bean which wins the "Sark Bean Award" is the Butter Bean.  I love butter beans covered in butter and pepper.

I don't think the standard baked bean covered in tomato sauce will ever be replaced as the nations favourite bean. But it is good to try something different occasionally.  Give them a try next time you are at the supermarket.

1. there goes my next article

2. I love you

3. Buy air freshener for your house/flat. May I suggest Airwick Glade, jasmine flavour?

This forum gets weirder by the day  :D

nah, more interesting and varied....


i like baked beans with mini sausages in...yum yum

The folks I share with don't agree with the idea of trying new beans. They feel it is best to continue to eat the standard type of tomato beans. Next time, they will probably demand tomato covered beans.

There are suppose to be 57 varieties.  I haven't seen the others yet.  I might do a search later on Google, it is an interesting topic.

57 varities? Here's the ones I can think of.

Butter Beans ? Reminds me of an article I read in one of the twatty sunday supplements, about a chorizo and butter bean stew recipe - "just great to use up that leftover chorizo". Left over chorizo ? eh ? what planet are you living on ?

I'm sure there is a billy conolly joke in there somewhere.

Is that no because (pre-diet) you never left left-overs Big Fella?

 ;scarymoment; ;hide;

Tighty, has Sark some how linked into your brain, & is now feeding off your mind....or have you both by some strange quirk become linked in some cyber twin scenario ?????

not sure what mind Sark feeds off, but it sure as heck ain't mine


I'll move on to considering Jaffa Cakes, another conundrum that bothers me.

 

You could always try finding out why they started putting less and less chocolate on wagon wheels, there used to be loads when i was a kid but there's hardly any now!!

I like Jaffacakes best when they're stale and crunchy

Jaffacakes and wagon wheels are good dipped in tea

I bought some of the chili ones today, I'm going to have them for lunch tomorrow with lasagne.
I wasn't allowed to do that when living with the ex, she didn't think beans and pasta went together but now that she's moved out I can eat what I like.


That is just wrong

Good choice gatso.   Did you see the full range of tins?

I've only ever seen 4 (but can't remember which) at once. didn't realise there were 6.
I await your full report once you reach the right hand side of your cupboard

Right I love Jaffacakes.  Lets talk about them. 

What is eveyones favourite jaffacake? 

Mines would have to be original mcvities dipped in a cold glass of milk to the cake goes all soggy mmmmmmm so nice!!

I often have left over Chorizo.

Stick it in with some bruschetta ham and genoa salami and you have a mean sandwhich!

Tesco value Jaffa Cakes are the Biz .... Much better than those overpriced McVities garbage... The tesco value ones have a lot less orangey tang to them and are a far better alternative to the Original :)

keep going lads, tearing up the draft of the jaffa cake thread as we speak.....


I just think its a confectionery and biscuit disgrace, marmalade with chocolate, i understand the sweet taste counteracting the tangy to provide a pungent mix that melts your tastebuds but I wonder how the idea came about? Who thought as they were buttering their toast one morning:

" Now then Marmalade. Marvellous, just right with that chocolate I'm going to have later"

just doesn't sound right does it?


whatever next Chocolate Oranges?

Or Pineapple with cheese ... or worse still pineaplle on a frigging pizza . whats that all about ??

those new branston beans are the bussiness

This is another food related post, I am afraid.   

Has anyone ever heard of a "Hedgehog Loaf"?

Last night after the Blonde STT ended ( I was knocked out I mean  :D ). I went to a birthday party that was taking place next door.  When I got there it was already beginning to wind down and I found that most of the people I knew had already left. As I looked around, I tried to seek out someone I knew. My plan was to stay for 10 mins out of respect to the person who's birthday it was before I snuck out and went home.

Over by the window sitting were two women who were looking in my direction. I thought to myself " excellent boss, you are onto a winner here". I thought perhaps they recognised me from my 1989 appearance on the "CATERPILLAR TRAIL"  Unfortunately they weren't smiling in my direction, instead they were shaking their heads in a disapproving way. I put this down to the bad lighting in the room and decided to approach anyway as I losely knew one of them through a mutual friend. As I got closer, I eyed a plate which had cocktail sticks with impaled pineapple, cheese and pickle on them. I hadn't eaten for hours and was starving so I reached out to grab one. 

Quick as a flash one of the girls jumped up and said   "!*)((&$^% OFF...YOU CRUEL **&^%$^^% B......D" to me.  Now I am used to this sort of reaction, but the CRUEL part confused me slightly.  After she had calmed down a bit, I found out she had sat beside me on the train earlier in the day. To be honest I can't remember doing this as I was sure it was an old women I had sat next to. Anyway she said she had overheard a conversation I had had with a friend on the phone during the journey.

I had phoned my mate and asked him to pick me up a few tubs of soup, a pint of soya milk and two hedgehog loafs from ASDA. I had then described how great the hedgehog loafs tasted when they were grilled and boiled in the soup.

After I managed to convince her I wasn't a hedgehog torturer and in fact it was a variety of bread, she was slightly friendlier.  I thought it best not to try the Cacti chat up routine on this occasion and promptly left.

I thought everyone knew about a Hedgehog Loafs.  ASDA don't even sell Hedgehogs.

I've never seen a Hedgehog Loaf, is it shaped like a Hedgehog? But I do buy a "Tiger Loaf" from my local Morrisons (not sure why its called Tiger though)

LOL!!! yes, I've had both Hedgehog bread and Tiger loaf, and I agree that Hedgehog is fantastic with homemade soups.

It looks like a Hedgehog due to the slight spikey top on the loaf, and Tiger loaf has a sort of orange stripe thing going on. Both very yummy

I lead a very diffrent life....

I'd have started on her (undoubtedly) leather shoes - took in the belt, handbag & purse & made her cry that she's wearing the skins of animals who never had the chance to live wild.... then I'd have told her it was just bread......

Rod gets lots of action.  :D
