Popular Post Evil Penevil Posted April 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2022 Britain's love of tinned beans is an interesting footnote on food history. Baked beans for breakfast have a much longer history in the U.S. and Canada than in the U.K. and its other former colonies. However, beans have seldom been eaten for breakfast in North America since the early 1900s, but exploded in popularity in the U.K. over the same time period. What's most fascinating is the different perception of tinned beans in the U.S. and the U.K. In the U.S., canned beans have always been thought of as a "poor man's food," while in the U.K. tinned beans were once a luxury food eaten by the richest people. Native American tribes introduced the Pilgrim settlers to New England to boiled or roasted navy beans in the 1600s. The Pilgrims adapted beans to their own methods of cooking and baked the beans in iron pots in brick oven or in the coals of a fire. They added salt pork, maple syrup, molasses or brown sugar for flavor and to raise the calorie count. Most colonial settlers did back-breaking labor every day and burned off far more calories than the average person today. It's estimated that lumberjacks, bricklayers, farm workers and other manual laborers needed up to 10,000 calories a day for energy in colonial times, while the recommended daily intake for adult males today is 2,500 calories, less if you have a sedentary lifestyle. Most Pilgrims were Puritans and they, like orthodox Jews, followed the Biblical admonition about not working on the Sabbath. The "no-work" rule included food preparation. The Puritans would put a pot of beans in the oven or in the coals late Saturday night so they had a hot dish on Sunday. This "slow-cooking" method became a daily practice as it was an easy way to give workers a filling, high-calorie and inexpensive meal before they set out for the fields, forests and construction sites. The recipe spread to non-Puritans and followed settlers as they moved West. By the 1800s, baked beans were the most widely consumed breakfast food in the U.S., according to some food historians. Beans cooked overnight were the standard breakfast for Northern troops during the U.S. Civil War. By the 1880s, advancements in food technology and preparation decreased the popularity of slow-cooked baked beans as a breakfast dish. Except in logging camps and isolated construction sites and ranches, baked beans had pretty much disappeared from breakfast menus by the early 1900s. They continued to be a popular lunch and dinner dish, especially in the Northeast. New England baked, mostly called Boston baked beans, are very different from the stewed-in-the-can beans sold today. Real baked beans, with molasses, mustard, salt pork or bacon, whether made from scratch at home or in a restaurant, are delicious. I hate the canned tomato-sauce stuff and never eat it. Baked beans and brown bread is still an iconic meal in Boston ... while millions of Americans eat canned beans in tomato sauce, which are actually stewed in the can through a steaming process, not baked. In fact, it is a German immigrant to the U.S. who is responsible for the popularity of tinned beans in the U.K. To increase sales of his food products, Henry J. Heinz took a few crates of seven varieties, including baked beans and ketchup, to London in 1886. The buyer at the upscale Fortnum & Mason department store tried them and is reported to have replied, "I think, Mr. Heinz, we will take the lot." At first Heinz Baked Beans were sold as an expensive luxury import, with each can costing 9 pence (over three pounds at today's rate) when the average wage for London laborers was less than a pound a week. By the early 1900s, Heinz was selling baked beans throughout the U.K. and began local manufacturing, which lowered the price considerably. Pictures of members of the doomed Scott expedition to the South Pole (1910-1913) tucking into cans of Heinz Baked Beans boosted their popularity. By the 1930s, tinned beans had become a British staple food and part of the modern "full English breakfast." In the U.S., canned beans in tomato sauce are still very much regarded as a poor man's food, eaten mostly by people who don't have any other choice. The exception is "beans and franks (hot dogs)," a popular school lunch and cookout dish for children. Evil 3 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These 2 photos are perfect examples of what I am faced with, shopping at Siamburis on-line. They only show a front view or occasionally they will do a teasing photo of the top and you can't quite discern if it is flip top or not (As in the Branston above).. Bastards! Why the f**k can't they "do a Heinz" and bloody well show it. EDIT = I've just checked the new Lotus website. Yup, they show the tops in most products. Well Done Lotus!!!!

Personally I find foil wrapped packaging best. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fygjam Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) I was in Villa Market once when I spied the familiar blue and black label of a Heinz baked bean can. As I preferred Heinz back in Oz I bought it. Tasted fuking awful. So bad I thought it was off. Then I discovered "English Recipe", 'nuff said. Fortunately Villa Market also stocked Almost as good as Heinz "Aussie Recipe" For the here and now, got a few of these bad boys stashed away in case I have to isolate. Great in a bowl with a couple of fried eggs floating on top. Edited April 18, 2022 by fygjam 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too find Brooks are very good, another fave of mine are Whattie's .....(which are actually owned by Heinz). I've never been a fan of Branston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
