What way do you like your beans?

AMKC

Me I like mine cold. I know some people like them hot but to me that just ruins them. I had a gf once who thought cold beans were yuck.
So how do you like yours?

All things considered, there's no better pairing than a tin of Heinz baked beans and a pack of Superquinn sausages, fried low and slow on the pan, then covered in baked beans. Nothing. Else. Needed.

I like them cold cold. Love them straight from the fridge, a bit less out of the press and I don't like them hot at all. I also drain off as much of the sauce as i can - that's muck!

Could not be more wrong!:mad:

I will not eat sausages who have come into contact with beans, they absolutely must be kept separate and only allowed meet in the stomach.

What the hell is wrong with you!

Been off beans for weeks.. When I did have them always hot and sometimes with bangers.. Bangers and beans! A match made in heaven....

Interesting irrelevant fact; you pay ten cents more for a ring pull tin of beans than for a non ring pull. Learned that when I asked the checkout guy in LIDL in Killarney...

Really? That's some difference percentage wise!

I can't remember the last time i seen a non ring pull can though.

What's wrong with me?

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but there's something very, very wrong there.

It's almost as bad as not wanting to handle tins containing baked beans.

Fire up the frying pan there and get stuck in. It's like the first time you drink Guinness. Get onto the tail end of that second pint and you'll never look back. Same goes for the sausages with baked beans.

I mean they're still good for you, I don't think baked beans are something we need to worry about when it comes to the obesity crisis in Ireland

9.8g sugars per 100g in standard Heinz Baked Beans. That's sugars from the beans themselves, the tomato content and added sugar. About the same sugar content per 100g as an apple.

Beans on toast is the only way I'd eat baked beans.

& I don't pour the beans over the toast. I mash them, as previously stated, then put a small spoonfull at a time on to the toast & eat like that.
Soggy toast from the beans being on top doesn't appeal to me at all

Gregor, you like cold beans, & Heinz!
& there's me thinking i liked you:(
Please don't make it any harder & say you drink Barry's too??

Bean there, done that.

nothing

No added sugar, touch of curry powder, hot over a baked potato and some cheese. Mmm pure comfort.

Right.. But most fruit is really sugary. Like diabetics have to be careful about what fruits they have and how much.

Not sure why you’re bringing the special case of diabetics up. They have to be careful about all carbohydrate intake. That doesn’t mean that beans should be avoided by all people because they’re “full of sugar”, which was the claim in the post was replying to. Everyone should have a balanced diet and be mindful of nutrition content and portion size. It doesn’t mean beans - or apples - should be totally avoided for most people.

Right, I know. But the sugar in beans is hitting coca cola sort of levels. Just adding context since comparing food to fruit makes most things sound perfectly healthy sugarwise.

lol.. this was over five years ago and the checkout guy said that they sell more ring pull as few folk these days have tin-openers

I mean REALLY!

Hey that would make a great poll; do you have a tin opener and if not how do you open non ring- pull tins.

Oh and some things still have no ring pull; eg condensed milk and some concentrated soups.

In that case most of the sugar is in the sauce because apples would typically have 5 to 10 times more sugar per gram than beans.
As I said in an earlier post I find the sauce to be very sweet and syrupy and often just eat the beans which aren't really high in sugar, what's more the fibre content of the beans probably retards the release of sugar in the body vis-à-vis the sauce.

The anti-sugar crusade is just the latest food hysteria. Five years ago the same idiots were going gluten-free and cutting out dairy. Before that it was fat and cholesterol.
