Re: Baked bean wars
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

Re: Baked bean wars
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.

Maybe Heinz / Branston could fill the void?
sauce is shite now - probably less sugar salt fat

Re: Baked bean wars
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.

Re: Baked bean wars
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.

Re: Baked bean wars
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.

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.

Re: Baked bean wars
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.

Not just cheaper, but riper, too.

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

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?
