I'll stick my neck out here and say that Heinz beans are shite. Horrible sickly sweet aftertaste. I always preferred HP beans - or Cross & Blackwell - hell, even Sainsburys for that matter - but good luck finding those over here... :( still - this is what makes trips home worth waiting for!

Help me understand - beans on toast? As in ... ladeled on toast? It doesn't sound appealing - but maybe that's simply because I haven't tried it!

Well, you just kind of pour them on. Out of the pan, like...

With a side of anything in particular? It's part of breakfast, right?

Still seems odd - but maybe I'll have to try it sometime.

It's almost a national dish.

Heinz also do something called "vegetarian baked beans" which are pretty similar, I guess the vegetarian means that they don't come with pork or meatballs

They're not bad actually - the closest to 'ours'

The vegetarian refried beans are better too.

Vons do a nice 'French' loaf - not sweet at all. Trader Joes is good for bread.

What's the HP Sauce travesty?
