Our local price fixers (ASDA) have decided the're only going to stock Heinz beans and Branstons in 4's in some pathetic attempt to make us feel like were actually saving money Is this the right thread for moaning about the price of tinned tomatoes too

I'm surprised none of the aussies have brought up the international bean question - Aussie supermarkets sell Heinz in a domestic recipe and an English recipe. this sounds like a Peter Kay script.

The local ones are EFFING disgusting.

sauce is shite now - probably less sugar salt fat

While we're on the subject.

Mr Branston, will you please stop cutting your spaghetti up into bite size pieces?

I'M NOT A CHILD!

..and I like to sluuurrrp my spaghetti.

cheers.

Get on the Branston lads

Parp

Branston for me this evening

I like to cook mine until they form a stodgy paste and then add black pepper and barbecue sauce so the brand makes very little difference.

Try Branston. You'll get that paste quicker. You wont look back

I think hienze sause is now more watery than before and you get less beans than you use to. Much better value for money in getting Asda own brand. 1/4 of the price and only incovenience is a can opener. Taste better than HIenze.

Branstons a bit strong for me.

HTFU

You could always water them down - make them go further too.

Get a grip son even Heinz need a spot of butter a grind of black pepper and a squish of brown sauce

Spiny has the right idea here, a half tin, microwaved on 50% for 5 mins should reduce the sauce nicely, add a small dash of sweet chille sauce,compliment with about 2 cm of extra mature cheddar and serve on thick toasted, lightly buttered granary bread.

Immense

so this is the type of conversation that goes on during international breaks...?

Baked Bean Wars...

Break, Shmaek, this is the busiest time, the Golf season begins, F1, Aussie rules, Fantasy the apprentice, I can hardly find the time to cook beans, never mind eat them.

when i first tried branston beans i thought they were shite, but more recently i have had them again (when tescos were doing 4 cans for a quid deal) and i have to say i now prefer them to heinze the sauce is richer and the beans are bigger and you get more of them.

Im not eating beans anymore, im fed up with the side effects.

So hot air doesn't just come out of your mouth then?

Can i just say this is one of my favourite ever threads!

Can I just say I am gobsmacked there are still only 10 votes for Branston?

Not just cheaper, but riper, too.

PS - I don't believe you can nominate your own thread as an official Classic - do the honours, Groomy

Is there an official process?

Yep.

Heinz will always win. Try their Mexican ones for a nice change (thicker sauce too)

Yep - you post the link in the FISO Classics forum

Quick Chrisharry12345 - Branston beans 3 tins for 99p at the moment in Tesco's.

Anyone any thoughts on the merits of tinned spaghetti? - they are also on spesh. Not a huge fan myself not least because it's not really spaghetti is it?

Branston update........

Tesco's has 4 tins for only 89p

Get on it - I did

Incredible value - I will send Mrs K up there later - she's gonna be cold scrapping that car - but its an offer too good to miss.

You're letting her use the car?
The walk will do her good and make her appreciate the warmth of the house more when she returns

I know, I nearly fell in my trolley when I saw it!

50p/can, 89p for 4, or a 4-pack for.............£2.34

What about the effect on global warming.
