Re: Heinz Beans!
The Heinz premium veg in the US has double the sugar and about 50 more calories per portion.
One thing that sounds great that a mate told me about, sausages with baked beans in them...yum

They are avail on Amazon, a little more pricey compared to Heinz.

Re: Heinz Beans!
I like Bush's baked beans. The ones with brown sugar, chunks of bacon fat and onions.
Or the ones with honey.
Or the ones with maple syrup.
They're all pretty good.

Re: Heinz Beans!
Okay, I need the Brits to weigh in!
Long story short, on April 29th (when the royal wedding took place), we had my parents in to visit and decided to wake up early, cook a fry-up and enjoy the festivities.
Our breakfast included coffee (sorry, guys), eggs, Irish bangers, tomato, toast and Heinz beans.
At one point we had a bit of a blow-out when I was encouraging my mother to try the beans with her breakfast and my father exclaimed that they were the most vile thing ever! (Apparently he has bad childhood memories of being forced to eat something similar. My husband and I like them!)
He works at a visitor's center in a tourist town in the US and has since asked each British tourist he's met their opinion of Heinz beans. Apparently they have ALL agreed with him that they are terrible, and that our barbecued variety is infinitely better.
I find that hard to believe, or I'm just plain stubborn.
So ... what do you think? Are they vile? Yummy? Couldn't you care less?
Cheers,
Kaffy

Re: Heinz Beans!
Yeah your father is lying his ass off. No way every British person he's met has said they dislike Heinz beans, thats about as likely as them saying,
