Baked Beans

[Hillian1]

Now I'm quite a fan of Lidl, in fact most of my weekly shop is done there due to the quality being as good as and in most cases better than Tesco.

But the Beans are terrible. Is there a forum I can go on for this please?

p.s: Hyypia is shit.

Branston are my favourite, obviously not available in lidls.

You're welcome.

Often they are in Lidl, a four pack usually goes for £1.25

The Lidl ones are actually really good. Probably as good as heinz with a decent thick sauce.

Beanz Meanz Heinz!

Can't you address important issues, such as BHA's sad plight right now and how it is going downhill rapidly and all is doom/gloom rather than baked beans, whatever next?

Well there you go then [MENTION=16843]Hillian1[/MENTION] problem solved.

If only our club could employ such forward thinking go getters as we have on NSC.

It's often pot luck as to what you can get in Lidl and Aldi.
Bit like ****ing managers.

Make your own, just like I did a few months ago. Takes ages, costs at least twice as much and requires lots of washing up. The results are disappointing.

There are bean counters everywhere these days, not just in the boardroom.

Have to agree with you. Get mine from Tesco but for about 9 months they didn't stock them. Thought it was some sort of conspiracy with Heinz but their back now.

I wish I could get Baked Beans here, you can get Heinz here, the tins are almost identical but the label says Tomato Beans instead of Baked Beans. I think there must be some kind of rule about sugar content in Europe because I have to add sugar to make them taste OK.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Is it cheaper to make your own?

 

[BensGrandad]

I like Branstons best but James Martin did some home made ones on last Saturdays Home Comforts program they looked good. I was told there are about 3 companies that actually make all of them for the Uk but use different menus for each supermarket. I dont know if that is true.

Finally a serious thread. You can't mess with beans. Heinz all the way!

Heinz have slowly been removing salt and sugar over the last few years so as the taste is nothing like they used to be. Will willingly swap you a couple of cases of Heinz Baked Beans for a half and half crate of Kasteel Donker and Saison 1858 if that helps your parlous situation ?

My local Lidl has both Branston and Heinz. Their Rich Tea biscuits are a quarter the price of McVities and just as good, their own brand vanilla ice cream in the red box is a joy to the palate imho. A lot of their stuff we now buy because we like it not just because it is cheap.
