I have just rediscovered the deliciousness of Shredded Wheat.

I've really never understood this idea. The worst tin I ever had was a Tesco brand decades ago. Watery.
The odd tin I open now looks watery but it's just more solid lower down. Mix it and it's fine.

The only way I can tell any apart is if it's only tomato sauce. Otherwise they're all the same to me.

Maybe it depends how you eat them? On their own or just on toast I might be more likely to tell but they're generally on a plate with sausage, egg, potato, mushroom...all those flavours blending in might disguise any inferiority.

Farmers like it because it looks like bales. Now I want shredded wheat. Unfortunately I didn't cook my supper last night and some ingredients are time sensitive so breakfast may seem a touch unorthodox. I'm making spicy bbq meatballs with peppers and bok choy and udon noodles. Lots of green onions, garlic, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, and I mixed up black bean sauce with some regular bbq sauce, apple cider vinegar, grainy dijon, sugar,and a dab of gochujiang paste (which can overpower everything in sight, so just a bit).

I often have some beans with my breakfast, and after I've cooked my sausage or bacon, and when the eggs are on the toast on the plate, I put a good spoon of beans in the hot pan, add salt and pepper and a dash or 2 of Wooster, then I turn the heat off and stir the beans around the pan to heat up and gather any residual flavours and plop it on the plate beside the rest. I like Heinz and Clarke, not No Name or Bush.

I like spoon size

Interesting idea. None of the Canadian family like it. My wife didn't even like saying it...didn't know when to stop

I remember the first time I said 'wor-cest-er-shire' sauce to scouse, he laughed his head off. What can I say, I didn't know British at that stage, only English.

We store our baked beans cans upside down, for exactly that reason - we flip them over and give them a shake before opening.
No potatoes, but add some fried tomatoes and a slice of fried bread, and that's a pretty nice breakfast right there!

Ah yes, forgot the tomato. By potato I meant some form of from leftover boiled ones. Chips and beans are a definite no-no.

Egg and chips is nice, egg and chips and beans even nicer. Easy to see how you people squandered an empire.
I had a good healthy balanced breakfast:

Fixed

Sometimes I make too many chips for lunch or supper on purpose, then in the morning dice up the leftovers with some green onion fry them up and that's my home-fries.

I do the same. Maybe it’s a Sheffield thing.

It's Yorkshire thinking - a simple, free, quick, and totally effective solution to an annoying but minor problem.

Just the perfect way to deal with tinned baked beans, a knob of butter works well also. Plus- they taste even better the next day when warmed up, twice cooked baked beans are yummy but then i have odd tastes- I love stale bread.

Black Forest gateaux and a big shot of vodka. I’m just living in a dream.
