Re: Heinz Beans!
Now I come to think of it, it might actually have been HP beans. Were they the ones with a thicker sauce?? Either way cold beans (in 1985) were the dogs bollocks.
Also, is there any better taste in the world than when Heinz/HP/Tescos 9p special (whatever your bean of choice) combines with extra-buttery mashed potatoes? I think not

Re: Heinz Beans!
Ironic that Canadian born and breed hubby wanted beans on toast last night and walked up to the Irish deli for Heinz as he hates the US version of beans. Too much brown sugar he says.
Personally as a Yank, I've had both and perfer Campbell's pork and beans or Bush's original myself.
Have never seen anyone eat or prefer their beans cold other than 7 bean salad.

HP sauce from Canada looks just like the HP sauce you get in the UK but according to hubby and son it does not taste the same so we have to have it sent in from Canada as I can only find the UK version here.
And I can't imagine eating beans cold!

Re: Heinz Beans!
When I saw this thread go up last night I knew it would be a goer!
The UKer here prefers Bush's to anything UK. And I had nothing to do with that!

Re: Heinz Beans!
Just picked up a dozen cans from my local supermarket. Should put me on for a while.

Re: Heinz Beans!
Things I've learned from this thread ...
The Brits my Dad is talking to are NOT representative of the population. Or, he's selectively only sharing the opinions of those who agree with him. I suspect the latter ...
I need to try Heinz beans on a buttery piles of potatoes. I've only tried them on toast, and darn it, I like them.
Side note - this Yank would never eat cold beans. Room temperature at a cook-out (because they've cooled), maybe, but cold? Blech!
