Beanz meanz Heinz..........

[Stephen Morgan]

......or does it?

Back in the 60s the slogan was "A million housewives everyday, pick up a tin of beans and say, Beanz meanz Heinz" and many a schoolboy came home to beans on toast for tea.
Today with the advent of own brand labels, ASDA, Morrison's, Tesco, Heinz have loads of competiton to contend with, and their place in the market has greatly diminished.
So, I was thinking, what is our favourite baked bean these days. I used to like Heinz, but these days I find some of the beans a little hard and undercooked, Crosse and Blackwell used to have a nice sauce with theirs, and now go under the "Branston" label.
Morrison's have a nice baked bean, nicely cooked and with a nice smooth, tomatoey sauce, and this is the one I favour, but we all have different tastes, what's yours?

I had beans the other week for the first time in ages.

Won't be doing that again, everyone thought I was a Slitheen.

[Trudi G]

Beans don't agree with me, so i stay well away from them!

Saisnbury's own for me, though always with added vinegar and ketchup, or cheese for cheesey beans on toast. Mmmm.

Heinz! It's just not worth buying cheap beans or cornflakes is it?

Si.

Sainsburys economy lemonade is just water and gas.

I thought that was what all fizzy drinks are made of!

[Pip Madeley]

What, tap water and British Gas?

[Trudi G]

And a host of chemicals and colourants - probably sums it up about right!

[Pip Madeley]

No lemon juice or sugar then?

Back on topic, if I was buying beans, I'd only eat Heinz. Cause I'm a snob.

[Trudi G]

Most brands have chemical sweetners like aspartame as well as sugar, and as for actual fruit juices in them - read the labels!!!!

personaly I think your better off not reading the lables - as you probably don't really want to know whats in what your eating or drinking..cos if you did you'd end up buying nothing..i

Any Doctor Who website with a picture of a pan of beans on the main page is worth being part of, I'd say.

[Si Hunt]

I'm squinting to read what other Internet windows you had open when you took that screen grab. What's "Teen Celebrities Exposed" then?

Si.

[Stephen Morgan]

I had to laugh when I saw that main page. One of my more successful threads I think, perhaps I should try a baked bean omelette.

I had beans on toast for lunch.

This afternoon I've been pumping out more gas than the north sea, etc. I hope my digestion calms down before Christmas day!
