Absolutely nothing like Heinz baked beans though. Even other British brands

Perhaps, like me, they just have the right sort of metabolism. My usual
cholesterol reading is just under 3, irrespective of what I eat, but I don't
drink red wine.

I thought it was something leftover from WWII, but it seems to date
back to colonial days.

The picture of a Sikh serving a Scottish officer on the label is a clue. It
was first made in 1885, at the request of the Gordon Highlanders, who wanted
a coffee drink that was easy to brew on field campaigns in India.

Is SunPat a good brand? We make our peanut butter by grinding the peanuts at
the store. Probably not a chance of that in Europe.

No, not a desert. It's just that peanut butter is fast and nutritious, so
many Americans on a budget rely on it for a cheap meal. I'm packing some for
a trip as we speak -- I don't want to buy lunches, so I'll just make a quick
sandwich, add some fruit, and save my funds for nicer dinners!
