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!
Kaffy try them with chips/fries...chips/beans/soft fried egg is good too and I don't care much for eggs.

Heinz beans on buttery toast for Sunday tea after a brisk walk out.

Sausage, ham, or cold cuts from yesterdays roast with chips, Heinz beans & bread and butter

Heinz beans over a crispy buttery jacket potato with slatherings of H&P brown sauce.

Heinz beans for breakfast? Absolutely not. Never put even so much as one baked bean near a grilled tomato, mushroom or a fried egg.

Cooling beans go stodgy and are only suitable for being mopped up with bread & butter.

Cold beans straight from the can are for students and national emergencies

It has to be Heinz beans but they are hard to come by here and cost a fortune. Baked beans here tend too be too sweet.

Sigh, I'm on a diet so the chips may have to wait. I have done the fried egg/toast/beans combo and I'm a fan.

I always think of "room temperature" and "cold" as the same thing...

Yes. Also my granny used to put them in a normal beef mince pie too when she'd bake them. Very nice indeed. Another good one is potato waffles covered in baked beans and grated cheese.

You always need the HP sauce though, it just makes it that much better

Birds eye potato waffles? I love those things. Have you found an equivalent here?

The very same. I haven't managed to find an alternative but I haven't really looked hard, I bet there is one somewhere.

I used to love making burgers with them - sod the bun, just throw the meat between two potato waffles and away you go . With lots of beans too, just to stay on topic.

I used to love those waffles. Anything goes with them. I need to find some. Forgotten all about them until now

Straight from the can is the way to go for 'cold' beans

Phew! Refrigerated beans just sound awful.

Still, I like them toasty.

Not as good as refried, but definitely better than regurgitated.

I like them boiled in a saucepan...until the sauce gets thicker.
