  • We tried beans on toast in our first video trying British food. We had Heinz curry beans on sourdough, but this time, we are trying the original Heinz Beanz on Robert's bread with some cheddar on top.

    What is your favorite way to have beans on toast?

    • @cheekymonkey666

      my favorite way is with mini party sausages in with the beans and on plain toast... with a sprinkle of blue cheese and a sprinkle of bacon bits...

      I don't have it very often because I don't like tomatoes that much. It's all about personal choice. British people add all sorts of things to it. On the toast or in the beans.

      Heinz were the king but they reduced tomato content and then Branston stepped up to the throne with a better content and are now the best but its taking die hard fans of beans a while to find out. But always butter the toast before putting the beans on.

    White Bread with more butter let your beans cook for a bit longer and make the source thicker. I add the cheese to the beans in the pan just before I serve and give it a stair.

    If the "Americans use cutlery the old French way" thing is accurate then its super interesting that Americans adopted French dining etiquette but rejected French influence on spelling (e.g. not adding 'u' to word like 'colour', softening 'z' to 's' in words like 'organisation', reversing 'r' and 'e' in words like 'centre', and vowel clusters in words like 'manoeuvre') - whereas the British adopted them despite our historic rivalries and in turn seemingly influenced French dining etiquette.

    • @FinnLovesFood

      I'm not sure what the history is behind us dropping the 'u' in words and other spelling variations. There are also little differences like we don't pronounce the 'h' in herb (more like the French) and I believe it is pronounced in the UK.

      @@grahvis (and a@anybody who can be bothered to read the following!) not strictly true in regards to z and s switch. The z use was actually the original English spelling which was then carried over the Atlantic. It is actually us Brits who then started using the s instead. We often blame Americans for changing English which is actually unfair in many cases.
      Case in point is the word soccer. In Victorian times there was a fashion of adding the -er suffix to words (started in Oxford) and is where we get words like Fiver. We then took socc from Association Football and made Soccer. Also any game not played on horseback i.e. on your feet is called football so actually Americans are quite right to call their sport football just like rugby is called rugby football (as in Rugby Football Union).
      Webster did indeed want to simply English by removing extraneous letters does make sense.

    Baked beans enthusiast here from the UK. I like to add pepper and a dash of salt to mine. Otherwise it can taste a bit bland. No added sugar beans to me tastes exactly like regular beans. Branston is the best brand Heinz is second but expensive as frack. Beans are good for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I like mine with pie and chips for dinner or on a nice jacket (baked) potato. For breakfast I have it with eggs or as part of an English breakfast. For a nicer, greasier taste you can use fried bread if that's your thing. I'm a bit late to this beans party I think but I hope this helps.

    Heinz beans taste like they've been watered down. The best beans are Branston, very tasty and full of flavour. After you put the cheese on top of the beans grill it till it melts. Another thing we have on toast is a tin of chopped tomatoes, cooked the same way. You could also grill some cheddar cheese on toast then pour the hot beans on top. In the UK a 4-pack of Branston beans or chopped tomatoes costs £2:50 = 62:5 pence per tin. Just curious, have you tried a couple of poached eggs, or scrambled eggs on toast, they are also yummy, as is 1 or 2 large baked potatoes with grated cheese then the beans on top. Happy eating!

Regardless, I heated up one of the less abused cans, toasted some bread my partner made based on one of John Kirkwood's receipts. I buttered half a slice as I did not remember whether to butter or not. Completely forgot about the cheddar but will try that next time as I felt it needed "something". The dish was filling & definitely a comfort like food. Be well guys!

    I like to put my butter on my toast when the toast has gone cold because the butter doesn't sink into the bread, you taste the butter better and you don't get soggy bread! So that's what I do for my beans on toast too. wait for the toast to get cold, then put the butter on, then pour the beans on only half my toast so I will still have some toast not soggy! No cheese for me because I am not keen on cheese. But I do sometimes add a tin of tomatoes to the beans as they are heating and add some extra salt because of the tomatoes won't have any. Also a dash of worcestershire sauce!

    When it comes to the toast it sounds like it was over done causing it to be hard rather than soft inside or not enough butter was used but it I guess comes down to personal taste. I usually have mine one of 2 ways, the first is with a decent amount of butter on the toast and i usually drop some in the beans while they are heating up ( it causes them to become really creamy and tasty ), the other way is to add grated cheese however I do not simply have the cheese cold, after covering the toast with the beans i then add the cheese and then put it under the grill to melt the cheese till it gets that crispy top ( like a pizza ) sometimes i add a few drops of Worcester sauce

    I tend towards plain - wholemeal bread, no butter and no cheese. Maybe a good sprinkling of black pepper. I'm curious how the British beans compare to your beans. I've heard yours are sweeter and typically bbq flavoured. Just wondered if that's the reason Americans can't understand having them with a cooked breakfast or on toast.

    • @FinnLovesFood
      @FinnLovesFood  Před 2 lety

      Some, but not all are bbq flavored, and most are definitely sweet. Too sweet for me. They are made with brown sugar or in the case of Boston baked beans, molasses. I much prefer British beans! You often find baked beans as a side dish at a bbq. I never have them in the cupboard (but now we have a little assortment of Heinz beans!) I do keep refried beans on hand as a base for bean dips. 🙂
