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.
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.
Amazon carries them as well.
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.
Thanks for the tips. Isn’t it amazing what entertains us in these times?
And thanks to you too wizard. [provisional nickname?]
Just glanced out the window.
It’s snowing. Also, the Sun is shining.
