Baked Beans

[pasty]

I don't MIND them, as long as they're not TOUCHING anything else.

Usually I will use my sausage to form an inpenetrable BARRIER between the beans and the rest of the brekkie. I'll then scoff enough BEANAGE to ensure none of them can transgress across the plate and mingle with anything it shouldn't, after I've inevitably gone and breached the pork-based border.

If it even TOUCHES my toast then its game over.

Beat me to it. This is unequivocally THE CORRECT ANSWER. If I'm doing a fry-up at home, the beans get served in a ramekin on the side.

Only if cooked sufficiently long enough to evaporate the sauce - otherwise you've got bean juice running everywhere. Which reminds me of one of my favourite Partridge scenes...

They are fantastic, but I don't want them on my English Breakfast.

I want a DRY plate with just a SPLODGE of sauce to dip my individual items in.

I don't want JUICE touching each individual item.

This.

I'm forced to admit, I do enjoy the odd baked bean in a full English. The only problem that arises, and it is a fairly large one, is that I don't believe that baked beans should be on the same plate as a fried egg. It looks akin to a car crash when the runny yolk bursts.

At the end of the day I like the fried egg even more than the baked bean, so more often than not, the ;poor old bean misses out..

I agree also hash browns it must be bubble.

Definitely bubble for me too - none of this chips, potato waffles or gash browns.

Saute potatoes would just make it into a fry up for me.

 

[whitelion]

Why not all three?

I like baked beans on toast etc but it interferes with the consistency of a fried breakfast.

I will happily eat a fry up without beans, but beans are very welcome to be there. Are they as vital as sausages or bacon? No. But they still have a role to play.

This man knows his shit.

Its a weird one, because generally I would not want the sauce of the beans to penetrate the rest of my full english....

However I am a particular fan of a little bean juice on my fried bread and they do go nicely with a mouthful of sausage...

Its a yes from me.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

No, hate them.

Yes it does. It really does.

i can take or leave, if i have them not too much with Full English (take up room from more crucial components.

In fact, I would argue one of the only essential items, along with eggs. As you can have toast OR fried bread (but ideally both). Sausages OR bacon (but ideally both)

OR bacon? utter nonsense.

Beans have trumped this poll so far.

 

[Two Professors]

The black country cafe,many moons ago,used to provide the cordon bleu answer to this.A mixture of beans and tomatoes,with added Worcester sauce and a splash of Tabasco!Don't knock it till you've tried it

I thought that would cause controversy, but I prefer decent sausages to bacon, so would rather have extra sausages.

 

[Gwylan]

It depends. I wouldn't have them at home but when I'm at a hotel, I usually have them because there are so few vegetarian options

 

[heathgate]

Essentially British.... always request them... always include them.

i absolutely back the decent sausage vote, save them for lunch or dinner. with beans and chips. breakfast is the domain of Bacon, sausages are a support act.

A friend of mine at school had a PHOBIA about baked beans, he wouldn't go NEAR them.

Apparently it stemmed back to him seeing a dead blackbird once, with its chest ripped open. Its exposed heart looked JUST LIKE a little baked bean (he would tell me, with harrowing wide-eyed horror and through short, shallow breaths).
