Heinz Beans .... Cheap !
 

'Price rite' chain of supermarkets is selling them at the amazingly low price of 2 cans for a dollar :thumbsup:

Add on the cost of a drive to eastern Pennsylvania, and suddenly Meijer sounds cheap.

:blink:

If only you had some real English chips made from English potatoes and real English eggs. You could make the ultimate signature English haute cuisine dish of chips, eggs and beans :rolleyes:

He would probably like it better if he could have an English sausage as well;)

Bangers and mash is just too complicated to make at home apparently :lol:
What about white starched Mother's Pride bread, American bread just doesn't taste right with the famous beans on toast :rolleyes:

I blame the toasters.:sneaky:

They toast the American way instead of the good old Brit way when it would be burnt to a crisp so you have to scrape the blackened char off with a knife. Wonderful:thumbup:

I always buy a loaf or Italian or French stick and use that for my beans on toast.

2 tins for a dollar. That's *nice! They're almost $2 per tin, here.

Re: Heinz Beans .... Cheap !
 

Never tried beans on an Italian, don't you get a lot of hair on the beans especially if they have a moustache. A French stick sounds a bit tough to chew, probably good for the RDA of fiber though

The Heinz Vegetarian beans are pretty much like the british ones. Maybe a touch sweeter but not much.

Re: Heinz Beans .... Cheap !
 

vegetarian beans ?isn't that an oxymoron or whatever it is when two words mean the same thing...? othnerwise the beans would be made from meat ?

Hi:

Ever eat at Tom Bergin's on Fairfax? Had bangers & mash there the other night -- an English dish but at least from the British Isles.

Its the only place I've been in LA that reminds me of visits to the UK -- and predates ME. The bar area can be a tad boisterous at times, but the back dining area is cozy.

Hi:

Not really -- the American standard is "pork n beans" -- so the vegetarian means no pork. In other words, it is no more an oxymoron than vegetarian split pea soup -- no ham hocks to be seen.

I live in Santa Monica. I can walk to Ye Olde King's Head. To be honest I've been here so long I don't crave British food, apart from the odd candy or baked goods.
