All this talk of baked beans makes me wonder if y’all understand that the bbs we get in England are a totally different animal to the ones you muricans get. Our baked beans are a specially cultivated bean, designed to have no taste or flavour whatsoever, cooked in a rich mildly spicy, and rather sweet tomato sauce. Heinz had the original but most supermarkets have their own (inferior) brands and there is my fave - Cross & Blackwell. ---

I’m enjoying all the possibilities. Now I need to find a grocery here that sells British style beans. There is one locally owned smaller supermarket with lots of speciality stuff I am going to try. I’m hoping they also might have a ‘brown sauce’. Now that I know what that is. ---

> [@BippityBoppityBoo](#): > > Now I need to find a grocery here that sells British style beans. There are two supermarkets near us, four miles away in different directions. I know one of them has a UK food section, and they have Heinz beans. I think the other one also has a UK food section, but I never looked. FWIW, the one store’s UK foods are next to the Asian foods, Kosher foods, and possibly Mexican foods. ---

I have a friend from Belfast who will drunk order cases of Heinz Baked Beans and HP Sauce from Amazon. His wife loves it when he does that. ---

Just glanced out the window. It’s snowing. Also, the Sun is shining. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fartin-and-burpin-in-the-mmp-welcome-to-the-shortest-month-in-the-mmp/931971.md?page=15)
