p.s. You have to remember that baked beans are different in jolly ol' England than they are in the good ol' U S of A. Ours are in tomato sauce rather than honey, sugar, BBQ or other crap. |
A friend and I ate beans on toast in the U.K. for an entire 3-week vacation. And it was so good. After coming back to the U.S., we found
one brand of vegetarian beans that was ever so close to the good Heinz beans in the blue can. A few months later, we were grocery shopping, and our beloved vegetarian tomatoey beans had a flashy new label bellowing "New!!! Great!!! Taste!!1" This was obviously a big cause for concern. Instead of the usual armful, we bought just one can. We brought it home and opened it. Inside, we found the beans floating in a thick, syrupy glop of sugar and molasses. NO tomato. Full of sugar. It tasted just like a dessert. That was 9 years ago, and I'm still bitter.
