Why has it taken Heinz so long to come up with single portion microwave pots?

At the side. Never on top.

No place on a breakfast.

They've been out years. A single portion is a tin not a yougurt pot.

I thought the standard 410g can was a single portion? (And recyclable)

I'm with the OP. Branston beans for the win. Eaten at breakfast every single day of the week here. Currently 6 for £2 in Tescos:-)

Morrisons own brand ones are the best actually. Unfortunately I cannot wean our kids off Heinz.

Heinz win, Branston not bad.

Essential with a cooked breakfast, to the side or on top either is fine.

Toast, German salami, beans, grated cheese FTW.

410g tin is a single portion.

one of the few foods I really cannot eat.
Along with marmalade, bananas (I think they're just indigestible to be honest), and stuff like liver. Everything else, crack on...

A very useful additive to many things once you've actually washed off all the toxic sauce

So much hipster hate for the humble Baked Bean. Toxic sauce? Jesus wept.

I'm a Heinz man myself, but I've been known to choke down Branston's through the tears in a pinch.

Deadly serious.

They’re no substitute for a Napolina Peeled Plum tomato. 😉

when they make me king (and its when, not if). My first decree will be that every kitchen will have three taps - hot water, cold water and mains houmous.

Having to trek to the shop for something as essential as houmous will be a quaint throwback, like outside toilets, leaded petrol or tuberculosis.

Do you actually buy it ready made? I can never understand why anyone would when it takes so little time to make it yourself.

I'm also a member of the made baked beans once club. I don't believe the made them twice club has any members at all

It takes even less time to have it piped like a savoury Mr Whippy directly into your home.

I buy it when theres good stuff to be bought (Ramona Kitchen's now unfortunately branded "Me Too" range) which is really nice and sold in sensible quantities rather than the test-pots the supermarkets make/sell.

Gratifying that you find the issue of buying of making your own houmous more contentious than my ascendancy to the throne though. I'll keep that in mind for the new year honours list.

I fear we may be taking this off topic though.

Heinz. Peri-Peri

But the price of those things. I stick with Waitrose Essentials plum tomatoes. Sometimes I mix them with Waitrose Essentials baked beans. Good on sourdough toast with some grated Gruyere.

Tomatoes have no place on a breakfast. Two steps to really boil my p155 at a cafe
1. No substitutions, so have to endure the toms
2. Canned plum tomatoes on the breakfast.

It just makes everything soggy

The beans themselves are fine, it’s the orange acid they come wrapped in that’s the vile bit.

Just buy the mixed beans in water, and add your own topping, such as Tabasco or Worcester Sauce. That’s a nom nom not a vom vom 🤩🤐🕺

Aldi beans for the win. Far superior bean to sauce ratio.

Agreed on Branston, but never see them any more.

Aldi very nice, Heinz good.

Used to enjoy beans on houmous on toast but lost the love for it a bit in recent years. Maybe 'cos I found out how many calories are in houmous.

I made it a few times.

First couple too much sesame stuff, when I got it right it tasted the same as the supermarket stuff

Not fun cleaving the blender either.

here in australia, every breakfast comes with chorizo infused butterbean reduction.

No! proper beans are orange mush.

dont get me started on the 100% meat sausagues.

I do Boston beans or chorizo but yes they’re not time consuming at all.

Is that from dried beans? that's how I used to cook all my pulses, these days the canned pulses are so cheap and save so much time I tend to use those

Beans on Houmous on Toast

What the hell is wrong with you people? How have you managed to get a thread about beans, which are frankly brilliant, onto humous, which is the work of satan? You do know its not actually meant to be eaten, right? Its an elaborate joke to see how far you're prepared to go to appear middle class?

Anyway... back on topic.....

I have one, and a marmite one too. The marmite one is quite divisive 😉

Granary toast, tin of Branston beans, grated vintage cheddar, under the grill, drizzle of HP sauce (like shit pubs do with balsamic glaze on everything.)

Glorious.

Depends, I’ve always got dried haricots in the cupboard, but I’ve also usually got some pre soaked as I use pulses in nearly all of my cooking.

the tins are cheaper and easier but also have preservatives in them.

HP and Branston are basically the same are they not?

Both are superior to Heinz.
