Re: $1 Dollar baked beans.
We like the P C yellow label baked beans better than the "real" Heinz ones.

It was almost full of extremely old prim looking people with white hair picking away at who knows what, and they couldn't help stopping and staring and the big cartoon thought bubbles all had CRADLE!! in them, (being able to read those is only one of my superpowers). Except for a couple of 30 or 40 something daughters helping their parents along I was easily the youngest person, even in my state of advanced middle age. Tiny jars of Marmite, mustard, larger ones of Branston pickle, onions, all arranged like trophys on a few shelves, and quite pricey. the can of Heinz Beans was $3, (welcome to Inuvik!) And there was no pot noodle so I left, 40 or so rheumy eyes trying to burn a hole in my back. I didn't have the courage to stop and read the chalkboard menu.

The best beans here used to be Libby's but not since the '70s. They left Canada and the ones showing up now in the dollar stores are from the states and they aren't the same. |

Found this little le Creuset in the Sally Ann yesterday for $4 and it fits right in the toaster oven - had beans written all over it. At this halfway point where you add liquid so they don't dry out I rinsed out the nearly empty bbq sauce bottle and added that.

Re: $1 Dollar baked beans.
On the subject of UK baked beans..........
In Calgary some Walmart stores have a little British section which is useful. However, whenever I call in they hardly ever actually have any cans of UK beans in stock........ Any other stores in Calgary known to stock these gourmet items? |

Re: $1 Dollar baked beans.
Sobeys own brand (compliments?) aren't too bad either- the Heinz UK-style seems tricky to track down in TO, only Loblaws seems to have them.

only & always buy the canned 'Baked Beans' when they're on special - stock up 10x at a time. Beans must be the with 'Molasses with pork' variety. Not too fussy on the brand - price dictates
Heinz beans on cheese on toast....oh yum:thumbup: |

Why do you say that? I have steered clear of the Molasses ones as I thought they might be overly sweet? I'm very fond of a baked bean, but haven't tried them here as the rest of the family don't like them...

Re: $1 Dollar baked beans.
to add to my post #26
its like everything else that comes with time & age - things change, habits change so do your taste buds. After 47 years in Canada there isn't anything that I cannot eat - its just that I eat what I like. The so called 'good old' bland British foods that are crap. Wait till you believe that Canadian made beer is the best in the world

I'm with you- can't understand why there's so much sugar/ sweetness in everything over here.
