Baked Beans

[Sark79]

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.

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.

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?

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 ??

[TightEnd]

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?
