Default Heinz baked beans

Heinz baked beans-image.jpg

I hope I have managed to attach the picture correctly.

I don't know if anyone else has seen these, so apologies if this is a repeat, but I saw these at the weekend at my local Real Canadian Superstore in Toronto. Thought I would post on here in case it is of interest. Just in the "normal" beans section alongside those with pork fat etc, they were $1.37 a tin. They appear to be made by Heinz Canada rather than imported. Just had some for lunch on toast, and I can report they are a pretty good likeness for the British version.

I thought they were horrible. Far too vinegary and acidic than proper beans. I'd rather have the generic Presidents Choice ones.

vinegary and acidic? Can't say I thought that when I had them.

Each to their own. I thought they were quite a good likeness. Certainly worth trying and seeing whether you like them for anyone hankering after British style beans.

Can you? Oh I didn't know that. Are they more expensive? I never go to Walmart. Not sure I can be bothered to make a special trip if I can get these.

At the local Wal-Mart to me those in the picture are the ones they have. They do not have a British section ... German, Mexican and Asian are the International Foods sections

Yes the ones I have purchased (pictured) are most definitely not imported. The packaging is clear, they are made by Heinz Canada and are supposedly made closely following the British recipe. I know a friend who bought these exact ones in her local Walmart also, but Cheeky Monkey is implying you can buy imported ones in Walmart as well.

Auld Yin was a grumpy old man who rarely left Scarborough and had a bee in his bonnet about how wonderful it was. colchar lives in Brampton.
