- New Heinz Beanz Richmond Pork Sausages. Asda Supermarket. Food review. For the comparison video I mentioned in this video click on this link • Totally AMAZED!! BEANS...
No point in being loyal to brands anymore as they just don't care it's all about profit
yep definitely
Never buy anything hienz any more rip off ☹️
@@mackyjack3929The best Baked Beans are made by Branston brand, as they have less sugar thus taste better than Heinz, and cost less than Heinz. As for Richmond Sausages they are some of the worst along with economy ones
Asda economy brand are the worst. Richmond not far behind.
I wouldn't feed Richmond sausages to the DOG, stick to your local butchers if possible.
I think Richmond calling their product "sausage" is pushing it a bit.
i agree, morrisons savers sausages have the same meat content and are like 33% the cost
Not really, in every sense of the definition of "sausage", their product objectively fits. Whether you like like their sausages or not is a different thing altogether.
@@X22GJP Amazed that Richmond "sausages" are best sellers.
@@twozerouk It's just the marketing, there's a whole load of people who think they are top quality, same with danish bacon
@@wullaballoo2642 A lot of gullible people that trust the marketing BS over their own taste buds apparently.
Thank you man for doing these evaluation videos.
They really are helpful on those of us struggling on a tight budget.
But £2.00! for that?! no way! even if I had the money, still no way.
You have a really lovely kitchen there.
Keep up the good work. it's a life saver and really appreciated 😊
Lidl beans, Lidl best sossidges and don’t eat so much of them. You’ll live longer.
The ingredients list is wierd. The first item will always be the largest amount in the can. So beans is 38% of the can. Then tomato, then water, then sausages at 15% (which are made of 42% pork...remainder is water, rusk, fat etc) so it's definitely not 42% pork within the can 😅
It means the sausages contained 42%, not the entire can, that's why it's in brackets.
@@TheTacticalHaggisthats what HE said... 🙄 3:00
The day I pay £2 for a tin of beans and sausages is the day the men in white coats come and get me -no way 🤣🤣
Funny 😂
Asda charging £1 a tin for their own brand beans & sausages! Currently 52p. Guess what I bought yesterday.
£2 is too dear
Unfortunately the men in white coats were made redundant many years ago. 🤣
You can buy a pack of chicken legs or thighs for not much more. I no longer buy Heinz stuff. Overpriced crap.
All the worlds incredible technology, and I’m using it to watch some bloke get angry about bean. This is the future.
And don't forget a brew and some garlic bread to go with that!
I am not sure if you're aware how right you are.
Probably more relevant to our future than most things we watch. After all overpriced bad food needs to be identified.
Mate, it was 2 quid
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
I am happy with those I buy from Lidl. currently 57p a tin. Sometimes I stir in some cheese as they are warming through. Heinz should rename their products to Heist!
I add in a bit of brown sauce and they taste like Branston
@@andreamckenzie3109 Sounds lovely! I will try that!
@tonycritcher3419 bit of Worcestershire is really nice too
@@Jessepigman69 I never thought of that either! Love it so will be trying it! Thank you!
"I'll get a sausage out and you can have a look!"
As long as it's not your sausage, Baldy! 🤣
Uncouth!
I've been moaning about Heinz' profiteering for as long as I can remember - and trying to make bland Richmond sausages a selling point makes me think they've lost their marbles😵💫 Boycott Heinz!
i don't moan about crap food i just remember not to buy it again problem solved. but the mask wearing public need to be told what to do i found out.
@@BusbyTreeSurgerycant agree more dont like it dont buy again, try something else
@@BusbyTreeSurgeryCorrect answer 👍
@@BusbyTreeSurgery You're right. We've switched to Lidl's own brand beans now and they're not bad for the money. Their tomato sauce, brown sauce and their sweet pickle (their version of Branston Pickle) is also really good.
This is devastating to the coeliac community. We used to be able to rely on Heinz sausage and beans as being safe. I won’t be able to buy these. They will be losing a lot of customers because of this. 😢
Some young lads were stood outside our local shop and as I walked towards them one said “ Oi mate can you get us 20 Richmond” I thought it strange that kids want sausages these days
You should have bought them a pack of 20 Richmond Sausages 😂
@@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO lol
🤣
@@jwsuicides8095 👍
And those Richmond ciggies are are as fake as their sausages
I love how you screw up your eyes when you announce eye watering high prices for products. It makes me chuckle Gareth which is always a bonus in this serious life of ours.....😊
That's $3.48 Canadian! The price of canned goods has gone absolutely insane. 4 Years ago, a can of beans was like 60 cents CA. Pound for pound, name brand Spam cost more than fresh live lobster here! Ridiculous, we are all being fleeced!
Cynical Heinz were the very worst ‘price gougers’ when this whole cost of living crisis kicked off! All of their products are now at unbelievably ridiculous prices, and folks should consider supermarket own-brand products as an alternative. Keep up the good work of highlighting these rip-off merchants Gareth! 👍
Asda are doing 5 large tins of Heinz beans and sausages for £5!!!
@@Diane327rip off
I never really pay attention to prices. But I recently went to buy Heinz ketchup and it was £4.50. I just laughed out loud and thought "you cheeky bast..."
Got Tesco version instead. 75p.
Personally I have never really liked Heinz beans. Sauce is a little too thin for me. ASDA's own brand are pretty good. Currently priced at £1.63 for a 4 pack. Heinz 4 pack is £3.75. And £4.50 for Heinz ketchup? Bloody ell!
@@bernieuk4312All brands of baked beans come with a utterly crap sauce; I purchase Branston brand baked beans which cost less than Heinz; I always drain the crap sauce that comes with all baked beans, then add Italian cooking sauce to my baked beans.
Seems like Heinz are trying to price themselves out of the market,as for Richmond being the nations favourite sausage,I find a laughable claim!
I DO hope so, 5779. I never go any where near Heinz products, for that reason. They sha'nt be missed by me !
Third World nations.
People just got robbed every day no one makes a stand just except it
When you pay for the survey you can make it say whatever you want. The survey probably showed a photo of Richmond Sausages and some other brands that nobody has ever heard of. They question asked "which of these brands do you know" 300 people out of 500 asked recognised Richmond and therefore the survey says Richmond are the nations favourite. Those aren't actual figures. Just an example of how you can manipulate things to say what you want them to say.
They are "Nations Favourite" based on sales not because they are actually any good, they are probably the most well known brand after Walls and they are really cheap. Which is probably why they are popular. Even cheap supermarket budget sausages are better quality than Richmonds, which have the texture and flavour of rehydrated breadcrumbs.
We used to make the sausages for Heinz , just recently they changed supplier to Richmond
I worked in Ireland a few years back, and Bachelors beans were the thing. But they didn't do beans n sausage. They did spaghetti n sausage, but I hate spag!! When I went home for a weekend,.I went to Home and Bargains and bought loads of beans n sausage, Full Monty and All Day Breakfast tins to take back. We lived on those for a couple of weeks!!!
I’ve never understood the popularity of Richmond sausages. Tasted one once, they’re vile. You’re correct in that Branson beans are far better, we’ve been eating them for years.
I will eat most things, not fussy don't waste food, I took a few bites and was like I have to throw these away I can't physically eat them
Yes I totally agree, I had one bite of one once and that was it. They are totally disgusting.
Branston beans are my favourite beans.
Richmond sausages are terrible. They are only 42% pork.
Richmond have less meat than the standard ASDA or Tesco sausages but are more expensive, the Irish produce far better sausages I only eat premium sausages with about 90% meat.
@@superspecky4eyes Exactly I've never tried them for that reason. Richmond have less meat than the standard ASDA or Tesco sausages but are more expensive, the Irish produce far better sausages I only eat premium sausages with about 90% meat.
Richmond sausages are in fact 42% pork, which I believe is the legal minimum. They have a distinctive taste which certainly isn't pork. They've been taking the mick for years.
in the usa it can't even be called a pork sausage unless its 51% or more what a scam
Lots of oats to bulk it out.
Ironically - Richmonds sell "Cocktail Pork Sausages", which resemble those shown. However, they're 60% pork.
That sausage made me instantly think ‘Mechanically recovered slurry’ 🤢🤮 aka, sinew, bones, skin, eyeballs, aresholes etc.
Ironically, my father didn’t like what he dubbed ‘posh sausage-meaning too much meat-he was pining for the ones he had during the war which were hardly any meat!
I don't know about the UK but in Canada Heinz is now owned by American super-gougers Kraft Foods (and the Foods part is only a company name, nothing they make is actually edible.) Their prices have tripled and the quality has halved. They used to make good ketchup but now it's made in America to American tastes so it's basically tomato-coloured sugar syrup with a hit of salt.
I'm near London and they cost £1.75 to £2.00 for one tin. I don't eat pork anymore (because of my restricted diet) but the vegan sausages you can get from Aldi and Lidl are bloody lovely. As others have said - just buy the supermarket brand beans and the sausages separately and combine them yourself.
Richmond aren't my favorites I'd rather a good butchers sausage. Heinz you Robbing bunch . Great review Gareth 👏
Cheers Kevin
they are nothing like Irish pork sausages
These look like the usual pork sausages you get. Wont be paying that price for a tin to try them though.😀
Just bought some and not tried yet. Probably the same as the original sausage.
Had some today and they are disgusting. The sausage are like mush. Will not buying them again. The original were not prime pork but tasted better.
Richmond sausages are the worst.
Defo! They just taste like rusk.
Agree 100% only 42% pork in them, yuk. Even the Heinz baked beans are tasteless these days,i make my own, sooo very much nicer and no sugar in them.
Spot on. I have no idea why everyone loves them so much. They're 💩, for cheaper you can get a good pack of fresh Cumberlands...
Does that mean they are German?
"the nations favourite"
Fun fact: A can of Heinz beans originally weighed 1lb or 454g they've gradually reduced the weight over the years.
I buy Heinz beans season them with pepper, salt and a pinch of sugar, and add good quality mini Frankfurters and voila! Same thing at half the price. I buy the beans in bulk when on offer in Aldi or Lidl here in Germany
Coming soon (probably). Heinz Beans with Richmond's sausages and Cathedral City cheese for £3.50.
I wouldn't dare bet against that mate 👍😂😂😂😂😂
Haha yeh Cathedral City would be a perfect profit partner. The combo we never wanted or asked for!!
😂
I bet its more than 3.50
Sumat like..... New sic drop incoming bro.... Heinz x Richmond x cathedral city..... Bangin colab for a limited time only at JD sports and Asda
I bought 8 Asda own thick Cumberland sausages last night on the reduced shelf. Normal price £2.25 reduced to £1.80 and that's for 454g (a pound). They're 72% pork. I could fry off four of them chop them all in quarters and use a tin of the Lidl brand beans which I prefer to Heinz and costs 52p a tin. Even at full price for the sausages, 4 of them and and the Lidl beans wouldn't be much more than half the price of those Heinz ones and a damn sight tastier.
Bet there's no meat in them sausages be Quorn 😆
2 quid too eat .... sausages no clue what's in them fk that 😆
Do you really exist or is this a Viz wind up?
i will never buy reduced meat got a steak before never again i was sick for over a week from it
Kitchen roll tucked into your t shirt,love it😂
Name brands and cheaper brands are often produced on the same assembly lines with the same ingredients. It's always a good idea to try out the store brand or generic versions and compare. Yes, sometimes the brand name is different or better, but quite often they aren't. They're just more expensive.
I just dont get what is going on with Heinz. Until a few years ago, I'd always buy their products. Now with the prices, I dont even look at them
watched a BBC item showing heinz beans.....they showed the process from start to finish ...........millions of cans a day....never saw 1 human being in the process
I like Morrisons own brand or Brandstons best
American 🇺🇸 greed, what’s new !!!!!!
@paulrichards6894 lol. Not a single human being? Really? Wow, what an amazing factory. No supervisors, no one to drive the lorries in or out, no one to do quality control or lab technicians. Nobody? Really? 😂 Your post contains more porkies than the sausages at least ;)
Well said Jim
How can that be NEW. The Bramwells at Aldi are tastiest and as for Richmond sausages being the favorites I very much doubt it.
Richmond are popular. The most popular brand in the UK. I use them as a way of explaining to people that just because something is popular, doesn’t always make it better. Ironically Heinz beans are very similar as they are certainly no better than other bean brands at all.
Branston are the best but yeah, the Aldi ones are very good, miles better than heinz anyway.
@@Bill_Stranix I think what helps Heinz is that if you ever watch videos of people across the world trying beans it is ALWAYS Heinz so it’s almost a form of promotion that ‘we are best’ in itself. I don’t think people who import beans even consider any brands other than Heinz.
not sure i could tell the difference in most brands of beans.....all taste the same to me
@@paulrichards6894 pretty much the same for me once I've covered them in cheese, although Heinz beans are very runny compared with other brands.
Heinz Beans & Sausage was a staple quick breakfast on the road when out in the motorhome. One pan, quick to heat, and a hot filling breakfast. It was also gluten-free which is important, as in common with about 1% of the population I have coeliac disease. By switching to Richmond sausages with their minimum legal pork content this is no longer gluten-free due to the wheat rusk filler making up for the lost pork content. It's caused a lot of upset with Heinz's gluten-free customers as this was very popular and the only brand that did this type of product without gluten.
Thankfully I can't buy most of these....... things on your channel.... but it's a reminder of what's available and tinge6 with a little nostalgia.
I'm in a place where I had to learn to make my own. No decent sausage, bacon, bread, pork pies, meat pies and a whole lot more. If I had known how easy it was I would have started to make them years ago..... and I have total control of everything that goes into them.
42% pork content is the minimum allowed in the UK to be labelled as a pork sausage.
Take a look at the Richmond ones😉
Nation’s favourite my ar3e
Yes I mentioned that in the video
I've never tried them for them reason of just 42% meat, it means Richmond have less meat than the standard ASDA or Tesco sausages but are more expensive, the Irish produce far better sausages than this but they are popular 'the nations favourite. I only eat premium sausages with about 90% meat.
I have a tin of Newgate branded Beans and Pork Sausages from Lidl only 57p with 62% pork in their sausages and they are pretty decent too
Totally with you. I get Morrisons own brand beans. I add just a little block of cheddar, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, a sprinkle of dried coriander leaf, a squeeze of tomato puree and course ground black pepper. Still half the price of Heinz and with the gourmet touches, so much better.
I *_Wish_* we had canned beans and sausage here! (🇨🇦) Even though I make most meals from scratch, this would be such an easy quick meal to have on hand.
Since the British are famed for their sausages and are very particular about them, I can understand why this review is critical. But, yikes, 2 pounds a can sounds pretty expensive. Here, Heinz beans cost about the equivalent to 90 p - 1.00 pounds. (store brand aren't much cheaper) On rare occasions when I find 'British' beans, I stock up. They have less sugar than other Heinz flavours. In stores that specialize in UK products, Heinz 'British' beans can cost the equivalent to 2 pounds PLUS. - All these prices are just beans.
... Beans with spaghetti??? Uh, no thanks, too weird for me.
~Thanks for the review! Greetings from across the pond 😊 🇨🇦 ❤ 🇬🇧
There aren't that many people around who will now pay £2 for a tin of beans with sausages, Richmond sausages or not...... Those sausages looked exactly like the usual plastic ones.... If I wanted beans and sausages, I'd drive 10 minutes up the road to my local farm shop, and get some proper (farm produced) pork & apple bangers, and have them with Branston beans. Proper job.
Branston beans are a rip off also.
@@hardywatkins7737 At least Branston taste better with a thick sauce than any other brand, HP not so good these days, Heinz are like smartprice. I've never tried them for them reason of just 42% meat, it means Richmond have less meat than the standard ASDA or Tesco sausages but are more expensive, the Irish produce far better sausages than this but they are popular 'the nations favourite. I only eat premium sausages with about 90% meat.
@@JamJam0189 All i said was Branston beans are a rip off and you start talking about sausages. I'm quite happy with stockwell baked beans i don't need to waste my money on overpriced baked beans. For christ sake they're just beans and they all pretty much taste the same. I don't like sausages with too much meat either ... they're too chewy and hard work. A good sausage needs a decent amount of fat for texture and flavour. The English also produce far better sausages than Richmond, ASDA or TESCO ... which isn't difficult - no need to bring the Irish into it. Richmond calling their sausages 'the nations favourite' is a lie. Read the comments for evidence of that ... most English people avoid Richmond sausages.
Oohh mate - pork and apple 🍏 mmmmmmm got me lips a drooling 🤤 lol 😂
Tesco Stockwell at 28p are good for the price, leaves a pound, you can get 20 sausages for £1.50, for the extra 50p you can feed many instead of just one dinner, i gave up on brand names years ago, having to feed me, and 5 kids, and that was pre pandemic before the prices shot up, great review as usual, Spot On
Cheers mate yes reviewed them a while back
Five? How irresponsible.
I'm a Stockwell beans fan.
I used to be a big fan on Co-op beans, tried some the other week, reminded me of my favourite tea as a pre-teen lad who ate everything & never got full.
Bowl of beans a tub of some dodgy margarine & a loaf of Sunblest bread.
Happy days.
I was always a heinz snob in my 20s and 30s, but these days for my twice weekly beans on toast luncheon the cheap tesco ones cooked low and slow with a nub of butter and a little grated cheese is plenty good for me
Great review. LIDL would knock spots off them. The best ones are Sainsburys own brand but have forgotten how much they cost.
I Hate Richmond sausages YUKE!!!!
40% meat 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your very right there horrible 😢
Dog food dressed up as a sausage.
@thebrightsided136 hey!😮 my dog gets better food, go to the butchers and get fewer, but better quality sausages. Heck sausages are better quality if you want supermarket sausages.Never touch heinz anymore they are extortionate. Cheaper better quality products out there.
@@herrflick1244 Thats how bad they are. Agreed Morrisons sausages are good too. Heinz brand items dont taste as good anymore and are a rip off.
Richmond sausages are enough to put me off and the price is ridiculous compared to Aldi and Lidl's own brands. Thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜
Our pleasure!
You are so right, My Family and I have always mostly eaten Non Named Brands and there just as Good of cause there are some products that just don't taste the same or as good but most do and at less than half the price great video
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for making me smile😮
No problem 😊
Amusing. I live in Scotland but I'm originally from Preston in Lancashire. Being a Lancashire lad at heart I always had Lancashire Eccles cakes on an almost weekly basis when I was young. When I moved up to Scotland 30+ years ago I carried on this Lancashire tradition. For years they were 4 for less than a £1. I then remember them sitting at £1.20 for years. And then within a short space of time, £1.60, £2, ..., and the last time I looked they are now £2.30. The price of £2 was my own marker at which I said enough is enough and haven't purchased them since, and that was more than 5 years ago. I actually took the time to send off an email to the company that makes them, but they didn't seem interested and clearly think they have a business to run and make profits. But good luck is what I say as they'll never see my business again. And so - I fully understand where you are coming from. We can afford £2+ but there comes a moment when enough is enough and some of us refuse to be taken for mugs.
The cost of all food has soared I dont think they are doing this without regret, it is the cost of raw materials, energy and transport all too high. How businesses carry on I dont know as I cant afford to buy these simple things now, eg Soreen!
@@risenshine2783 you gross thing, soreen
It’s hard to understand without a time reference. It sounds to me as though it’s about a 10 year + period over which they’ve gone from circa 1 pd to 2.30. That’s 130%. What hasn’t increased by 130% in 10 years? How’s your wages? You still getting your 500 pd a week or are you now earning 1000?
Hi there Lancashire laddie, you must love Scotland having lived here for 30 odd yrs 👍. May I suggest you try our Aberdeen Angus square sliced beef sausage? None of your Richmond's mush inside them 😋
@@risenshine2783 "it is the cost of raw materials, energy and transport all too high"
if this were true then their profits would be stagnating the same as wages are
but its not, you have swallowed the propoganda hook line and sinker
99% of the money from these price increases goes directly to the fat cats owning and shareholding these companies
If I fancy beans and sausages, I shop at Tesco
I get Stockwell & Co beans, because to me they are fine, plus they are cheap! 28p per tin
I then use Tesco Butcher Choice sausages, 20 for £1.50, I use 2 sausages, so 15p for 2 sausages
I then add garlic granules, onion granules, paprika and pepper - negligible cost, but we'll say an extra 10p
28p
15p
10p
Total = 53p
About a quarter of the cost, and that is with being generous with the cost of additional seasoning I add to the dish!
And I get a tasty meal out of it, not overpriced beans and mush pretending to be sausages
It's just wrong, and this really needs to stop, when are people going to realise that paying for named brand stuff often gets you nothing more substantial, and can also mean you get something inferior
7.1/2p a sausage and they are "Butchers choice😂
Nice tip mate 👍
I add a squirt of tomato paste which makes it a bit richer in flavour 👍

Hi Gareth, how you doing. We tried Hienz beans with cheese. There not bad, nice creamy texture. But at £1.70 a tin ,There not cheap. By the way, your still making us laugh, thanks and god bless 🫡
Sounds great!
My Dad when he was alive wouldn't eat anything but Richmond sausages despite their low Pork content. He loved them, grim! I won't touch a less than 90% Pork sausage, even Lidl & Aldi Deluxe ranges are better than these big brand sausages! Another banger of a video Gareth
Haha cheers mate
He was probably experimenting with becoming a vegetarian.
What sausage is 90% or higher?
Video creator is right about rip off prices. Even toothpaste has shrunk from 125 to 75 grams. Same price, just they've stolen nearly half the toothpaste from the tube!
Thieves. This government turns a blind eye and collects there increase in state dividends from us being ripped off.
your dad had good taste buds
They have just reported inflation is down to 2.3% and yet prices still going up.
only big brand prices go uo, big brands use inflation past as an excuse
Its only the speed of how much things go up buy,they will still go up
Inflation is only one of many factors affecting prices.
Yes, it's +2.3% not minus
@@johnmarkrobinson2924 It's not that either. If blindly raising prices were a good strategy for making more money, I rather think they would have come up with it before now.
I moved to Romania and miss all the British stuff I took for granted.
Found a shop selling Heinz beans for £2 and thought it was extortionate - judging by your video, looks like it's a good deal considering it needed to be shipped across Europe.
Love the channel, How about a video on your best tins / food to maybe stock up on due to the government's suggestion we should stock up for 3 days if the shite hits the fan ?
Don’t go getting tired about the prices Gaz, it needs people to be making noises about it! Shrinkflation the manufacturers and supermarkets are trying to get away with extorting money from us!
I never tire of people pointing out rip offs.
They are charging us more so they can give the invading boat people FREE FOOD!!!
As your stats will show, I’m loving the content, the stuff you review speaks to my demographic, 52, father of 3 over 18 home dwellers. Your vids are insight that saves me urinating money away on what the shops want to push as new bargains! Thank you so much!
You're welcome
Went to my local tesco express for a tin of beanz. They only had a pack of four and wanted £ 4.56.
Bought Tesco's own brand for 44p and will deffo buy again.
The chap who works for Richmonds company. You want find that tin in any supermarket.
When we were at school we used to call baked beans on toast "skinheads on a raft"
These must be "skinheads on logs"
haha yes mate
😂😂 Brilliant 👍😂😂
Yeah Balsa Wood Logs
Not heard that for years!!
😂😅hilarious
My wife was in court for shoplifting a tin of beans and sausages, she was found guilty. The Judge asked her how many sausages were in the tin, she replied 8. The judge sentenced her to 8 days in prison. I wasn't very happy at all so I stood up and shouted to the Judge, "hey Judge what about all them beans!!" 😂
Badoom-tsss!
Excellent :)
Sainsbury’s beans and sausages are quite nice. Gave up on the Heinz ones years ago, when they started messing around with the recipe 😞
It's not just the Brand name you have to be careful of, it's where they are made. I'm in Australia and Heinz Baked Beans are normally imported from New Zealand, a couple of years ago due to supply issues the local supermarkets began stocking Heinz Baked Beans made in the UK, no offense intended, but they were absolutely vial. Now every time I buy them I check the manufacturing location. I don't know why they were so bad, but I got the impression they were grossly overcooked.
Heinz beans and sausages (Tesco) £2 , Tesco's brand beans and sausage £0.56, Stockwell (Tesco's cheap brand) beans and sausages £0.48 p/can .. I don't buy Heinz and never will at those prices .. plus, a don't like Richmond's sausages, rather eat shops own brand .. Great review 👍🏻
I really don't understand who does like Richmonds tubular mush sticks, they aren't fit to be called sausages IMO.
Cheers Barney
never understood why Richmond are such a popular brand. I don’t buy sausages often but recently tried the Heck 97% sausages you reviewed and they were excellent
Heck are surprisingly nice for a brand name sausage, even their healthier options like the chicken ones are tasty. Can't beat proper sausages made by a decent butcher though.
Agree Heck porkers are quality, as are Naked.
Probably because they pour a fortune into advertising and sadly, far too many still think that big, well advertised brands are top notch plus they are positioned right in your face in the store.
Only Richmond say so .
It's called advertising, promote something enough even if its rubbish and people will buy it.
As someone who has a gluten intolerance, the addition of sausages that contain wheat flour really does my head in. There's no need to change a recipe that has worked fine for ages but lots of companies seem to do this, I can't even eat Kellogg's products anymore because they all have barley malt in them for "taste purposes".
But the price tag of £2 a can would probably drive me off anyway, what a joke.
Also remember that just because the label might say 40% pork or 60% pork etc. It doesn't mean it's the % of pork meat. It could actually be 25% lean pork meat and the rest being skin, sinew and other parts like ears and tail. Most processed meat items are dire.
Great review. All Heinz products are a rip off these days. Thanks so much for confirming this. Keep up the good work.
Cheers
Gareth - your comment about the big brands (high price) products at eye level is "spot on".
I managed to catch the Tesco store manager and asked him to put the cheap stuff at eye level to stop me having to bend down for the value products.
It was like I had asked him to sell his kids (I think he would do if the price was high enough)!
Keep on exposing the rip-off brands and stores.
First rule of marketing expensive stuff at eye level, plus the low sugar, low salt 'healthy' stuff. Apart from the pallets of soft fizzy drinks stacked up.
be thankful the supermarkets change the layout because of people like me who do not go shopping to see what there is we go to the shops to buy the same shit week in week out so moving it makes us look at the shelves in the vain attempt to make us compulsively buy something new.
What a load of bo****ks there same as normal one's
Brands pay the supermarkets to display their products at “Eye line”
Also on what are called “power aisles” where you get a big impact display of a manufacturers product.
Same on end of aisle displays.. sometimes called “Gondolas”
It’s all about catching your eye and then reinforcing the message elsewhere in store… And it’s a huge money making business.
@@Sunshinesmuse so it is rip off products well over the market prices for fools who are stupid enough to pay the inflated prices!
I have same beans with Heinz but no Richmond sausages printed on them. ( just sausages) have I got old beans or have they sacked Richmond
I recommend Porky whites sausages (have a bit of lemon in them, really nice taste)
And Jolly Hog's (lovely, meaty taste)
I believe both are more than 80% pork, Jolly Hog's IIRC are 90%?
I tried Richmond sausages last week and 2pack together and they were rubbish so bad I threw them in the bin.heinz beans are poor value i use to buy only heinz but not any more to watery and to expensive now i use cross and Blackwell.Thank you for being the test pilot.Allan
Cheers Allan
They are not watery if you cook them for longer as the sauce thickens if heated slowly for a longer period, Heinz beans were always my favourite but I no longer buy them opting instead now for Branston beans, I changed to Branston because it's a British company unlike Heinz and I like where possible to buy British brands.
Richmond sausages is one to avoid personally. Pretty grim.
Haha not quite sure CZcams recommended me this but I will give my 2cence😅 - Heinz are really taking the mic with how expensive beans now are!! Beans used to be the great all rounder for affordability, health, taste and price but I saw a tin of plain beans in co-op for £2! Whaaattt? They should print rrp price so supermarkets can't charge more 👍🏼🍽
Cheers pal
“ That’s my Sausage “ 😂 not something you hear everyday on CZcams
Haha 👍
Cheers for the review pal, I like the ASDA beans and sausages (not the essentials), only about 50p last time i bought em and they are ok on toast with some brown sauce. Got to say i have also dumped all of the brands i used to buy, not worth it.
Do you remember Chef Beans and Sausages in a little red tin, they were tasty and was just enough for us kids in the 70s and 80s yummy 😅
I loved Chef Beans n sausage. I used to have dinner at home from school in about 1978, and had these on toast every time!!! Lovely!
They were really tasty shame that they disappeared
I remember them they had a picture of a chef on the packaging and I also remember them being very nice back in the eighties or maybe even early nineties.
My mum use to go to cash and carry and purchase Heinz beans with sausages which I loved. Nostalgia I guess. Nowadays if I ever eat a sausage I like Waitrose ones usually with lots of added herbs/garlic etc or continental sausage……..checking out ingredient list makes you realise how hyper processed all these tins are. They full of stuff you wouldn’t have in your kitchen as separate ingredients . Not good for your microbiome so we told.
@@lisadefries6718 I go to a local farm shop for my posh sausages!! Very meaty, not like those shite Richmond ones, that are basically pate in a skin!! Morrisons best range were quite good till the family sold the business and now cheaper versions have appeared. M&S posh ones are good. Caramelised Onion are beautiful!
Won't be rushing out to try that any time soon
I brought them from Asda 4 Heinz for £4, but it could be mixed so I got the beans the spaghetti then the macaroni cheese and ravioli…I’ll be honest mate it’s all extortion this day and age…these companies know we gotta eat so will pay it, anyways…the beans are okay and the sausage is better than they were but still not great! Thank you for sharing❤️❤️
You're welcome 😊
Keep on helping us to make savings & looking for value in food choices Gareth. Take a lot of no notice of those recent critics. You're doing a grand job.
Thank you will do
The fact that heinz feel they need to 'Partner' with another brand name to give them an boost is very telling. Becoming too expensive to be considered unless the multi offers are on. Great Vid as usual. Look forward to your insights every time.
The fact that a top brand like Heinz has partnered with a utterly crap brand 'Richmond' begs the question about the wisdom of Heinz management.
Up until recently, Morrisons did a surprisingly good bag of "The best" range frozen sausages. I forget the exact % of pork but it was in the 90s. Available in Cumberland or Lincolnshire. They stopped doing them. Their standard frozen sausages are 42% pork mush. Welcome to hell.
Heinz Beans went up double the price here in Australia over the last 2 years. I love the Ham flavoured ones. They went from a reduced value to $2:50 then to a $4:50 within a year. For the 555ish grams. They put them on "special" for 3 dollars for the 300g at the 2:50 Price tag AUD currently. These are the big 2 supermarkets here in Australia vetting prices for the battlers. Coles and Woolworths. Not fair.
😀bought a bag of Richmond frozen sausages, tasteless mush, threw them over the fence for my neighbour's dog when he was at work
Where does your neighbour's dog work?
🤣
So it was you who gave my dog the skitters,? 😁🐶
Poor dog!
You got something against your neighbour's dog?
As a child I used to enjoy a tin of beans containing sausages but not any more
Probably the most accurate inventory of beans and sausage ever.
Tinned food is extremely durable.
However I cant over emphasis the importance of buying at farm shops and farmers markets. As space age as Tinned food is. Its
It by nature can't be as nutritional as fresh foods. IF said foods are organically produced that can make a big difference.
So, buy organic tinned food. If one can.
Its a ballance.
As a diverter away from stress humm drumm it could be beneficial.
Both nutritionally and psychologically.
Answers on a postcard please 🙏
When you said the price I took in a very, very deep breath. I had to listen again to see if I had heard it right. I'm very shocked. Do they take us for fools in a "cost of living crisis". Just shows what they think about that state of affairs 🤔
I agree with that one about the Branson beans being the best 👍😋
They are really nice, but they are also getting quite pricey. I bought Branstons for years after discovering how much nicer they tasted than Heinz, but I get Aldi Bramwell brand now and they are perfectly fine for a fraction of the price.
@@ferrumignis yes the Aldi beans are also good
Our butcher in Richmond, North Yorkshire, makes his own "Richmond sausages" and they are everything you expect of a sausage so about as far as you can get from the co-called Richmond brand.
I stopped buying Heinz after the cost of living crisis kicked in a while ago. I work in a supermarket doing pricing. I couldn't believe how much they went up by. Even a tin of Heinz soup which is mostly made of water. I now buy supermarket own brands. I usually add a small amount of butter, salt and pepper to the beans prior to cooking and in my opinion taste much better. I usually go for the Tesco's Stockwell range which is around 50p a tin. Can't fall off in my opinion.
The best thing about the tin of Heinz with Richmond sausage is the ring pull, and the fact that the empty can is recyclable .
I put my neighbour off Richmond some years ago by showing her how little meat is in them so don't think she'll be buying them, she still moans at me that she used to love em until I put her off them lol. Glad you did the comparison with the standard beans & sausage btw. Why do these people think the public will pay more for less?? Beggars belief don't it? Lol
If she used to love Richmond Sausages then she has utterly crap taste in food.
Great wee video. I’ve been avoiding Heinz for a couple of years now. Absolutely taking this piss. The last time I did a comparison, Morrisons products were generally about a third of the price of Heinz for essentially the same thing.
thanks David
I'm in Dallas Texas and a can of Heinz beans in the British food section is nearly $5 US dollars. And that's beans only, not even sausages & beans. I keep wanting to buy a can just to see what they taste like, but I'm too cheap.
I live in Georgia (Europe). The national currency is Lari. You get around 3.6 Lari to the pound. One bottle of Heinz Ketchup is 25 Lari. That is over 6 quid mate. Average salary of a Georgian. 1600 Lari. 2% of your monthly salary just for a bottle of ketchup.
Can't beat original Beanz and Sausage, but with an oxo cube sprinkled in. Absolutely banging
Gotta' be honest, I gave up on the beanz brand years ago, and their myriad of different flavours. Best thing to do is get some cheap but still decent beans from Aldi, and either eat them as they are, or pimp them up with a bit of pepper and other seasonings. Fancy a bit of heat? Whack in some sriracha. If you want cheesy beans, no problem, grate some cheese in, and if you want cheesy beans and sausages, you know where this is going. I've started buying chicken sausages as they are a bit leaner - tend to cook a load at the weekend and then through the week use them in various dishes or sandwiches. Sliced into round discs and heated up with the beans, they go perfectly and hold their form, unlike that mush.
£2 for that is daylight robbery, but lately I've started to notice more Heinz products out including sauces, chopped tomatoes etc. Might have been out a while, but those fancy cans and jars cost money - guess these beans help subsidise that! lol
If I ever have to pay £2 for a tin of beans and sausage, I want to be in a straight jacket
I once bought Richmond sausages as they were reduced. Having tried them I can see why. I also prefer cross & Blackwell baked beans to Heinz in fact I would go as farcto say I prefer almost any other make of baked beans to Heinz but then it's all down to personal taste
Makes you wonder who actually buys Richmond sausages at 40% pork !
We either get ours from the butcher, or have Tescos finest, 92% pork I believe.
Tip: never skimp on quality sausages or loo roll !
hi Gaz from down south,its a con, richmond sausages are made up of very little pork. its mainly rusk and fillings, try putting them in the oven and watch the oil come out,enough to fill a tanker up,our Tesco near Watford does not sell these tins yet.Heinz prices take the mick in the last few months, we don't bother now with them
Cheers Peter
Good to know the prices that’s one thing I like of your blogs as well as quality x
They're actually using the fact it has Richmond "sausages" as a selling point?
That would make me not consider buying them.
The Nations favourite, I very much doubt.
The most purchased maybe.
Unfortunately not everyone has the privilege of affording 70%+ meat content in their sausage, as there shoul be.
Less than 50% "meat" in those things is just above the minimum amount to even call it a sausage.
Great review, and thank you for buying so we don't have to 👍
Remember when they took the salt of everything and they started tasting like mush?
There’s hardly abut beans in there and I bet the sausages don’t even contain real meat
