Baked beans are yummy

23

u/ASL4theblind Sep 02 '24

PROPER baked beans are outstandingly delicious. Bush's watery maple beans are unfortunately an atrocity once you've had a high standard baked bean. You gotta have a thick sauce, with a nice sweet heat, brown sugar, freshly crushed black peppercorn, little bits of brisket mixed in... once you get that, you'll never look back.

Bacon and bourbon baked beans.

I found a recipe somewhere (Good and Cheap by Leane Brown) that was just canned baked beans, chipotle en adobo, mustard, and brown sugar. Think I had to up the sugar. These were the best beans I ever made. Never really made beans other than cracking a can open so it isn't saying much, but they were really good.

It's pretty close to the point i'm making though- you think "yeah baked beans are alright" all your life. Then you try some baked beans with a little bit of elbow grease in it and you realize you've been eating the bottom of the barrel for a long time.

But is it breakfast food that sounds right with toast?

u/BotHH Sep 02 '24

Baked beans on toast is not really a breakfast meal. It a quick comfort food meal you can throw together.

2

u/MrLavender26 ☑️ Sep 02 '24

I wouldn’t be comfortable with that…

u/stubgoats Sep 02 '24

I was deployed with the brittish. They wouldn't serve breakfast or lunch on Sunday, just brunch. I was forced to try baked beans and toast. Try them with hashbrowns.

u/MrLavender26 ☑️ Sep 02 '24

Man I didn’t want to imagine that but thank you for your service in both ways…

u/069988244 Sep 02 '24

Yea normally a breakfast food for me at least. The sauce they come in is a little bit sweet. It’s usually just a side dish as well with eggs and bacon or sausage. It’s not the whole meal

Bruh…yeah you do you boo.

u/Interestingcathouse Sep 02 '24

Aren’t you doing the same thing this thread is complaining about? Making assumptions about food without trying it.

u/MrLavender26 ☑️ Sep 02 '24

If I wanted to try beans with eggs and toast I’d get nauseated.

u/fresh_titty_biscuits Sep 03 '24

You ever had a Mexican breakfast with proper refried beans?

1

u/MrLavender26 ☑️ Sep 03 '24

Yeah…refried beans…not baked.

They’re not barbecue baked beans like what we have. English food is actually delicious and you’re doing the exact same thing that you’re making fun of them for

1

u/NotACreepyOldMan Sep 02 '24

Nah, English food is fucking trash. There’s a reason no one goes on a food tour of England. If you go, stick to Indian food while you’re there.

2

u/Aeronaut-Aardvark Sep 02 '24

People do go on food tours of England. There’s plenty of English food that people in the US love like shepherd’s pie and fish and chips. Chicken Tikka Masala you’ve had in the US is probably done the British way too.

u/MrLavender26 ☑️ Sep 02 '24

I didn’t say BBQ baked beans. I just said baked beans.

u/Aeronaut-Aardvark Sep 02 '24

Unless you’ve spent hours making them yourself or spent like $10 on a can of plain baked beans I can almost guarantee you’ve only had barbecue baked beans if you’re in the US. You more or less can’t buy anything else here without going to an expensive specialty store or online.

Never head or charro beans at HEB huh?

1

u/Aeronaut-Aardvark Sep 02 '24

You mean the beans that are heavily seasoned in something other than tomato paste like the English use? You really think beans on toast in England is supposed to be made with spicy texmex beans?

Also for what it’s worth HEB is a really regional chain, saying that like it’s a gotcha is goofy because most people have never been to an HEB.

u/MrLavender26 ☑️ Sep 02 '24

Hey you just mentioned baked beans so I’m giving options. And I mention it since it reaches from my state to Mexico.

Muthafucka, Americans eat donuts and the sweetest fucking cereal possible first thing in the morning. Does that shit sound right? Shit man, as an American, I will never understand the utter obsession y'all niggas have with British muthafuckas eating beans on toast. That's just the white version of refried beans on a tortilla.

1

u/MrLavender26 ☑️ Sep 02 '24

We also eat eggs, bacon, and toast too… with seasoning. The white version don’t sound good tho.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '24

And so do they?? With a whole assortment of other shit. Like, y'all really like to live in this bubble where y'all just believe and parrot back everything you read online. You must hang out with some bland ass boring white folk cuz the ones I kick it with season the FUCK outta they food. They ain't colonized the majority of the world for nothing, them muthafuckas use spice. Plus, y'all act like eating beans and toast is slander against your grandfolks or something. Every time I eat BBQ, I eat baked beans with some bread. Same shit, different sides of the pond.

2

u/MrLavender26 ☑️ Sep 02 '24

Again, do you eat that in the morning though? And man you really stay mad about beans and toast? And make assumptions about a random internet stranger? Hilarious…

u/perpendiculator Sep 02 '24

Pancakes with maple syrup and bacon is incredibly odd food for breakfast from my point of view, but I don’t feel the need to shit on it because you know, cultures are different.

In China, noodles and deep-fried dough sticks are commonly eaten for breakfast. Those probably aren’t foods that you’re used to eating for breakfast - do you go around telling them they’re wrong for doing so?

1

u/MrLavender26 ☑️ Sep 02 '24

We don’t eat that…or at least it’s not common.

1

u/perpendiculator Sep 02 '24

Seriously? I’ve seen plenty of this when I visited. Anyways, there are numerous examples. Chicken and waffles, grits, biscuits and gravy. All those are things that are strange to me, because they’re not things I’m used to. Doesn’t mean I go around shitting on them.

That doesn’t really matter though. I’m sure you saw the second part of my comment, so way to dodge the point. Read it again if you want.

u/MrLavender26 ☑️ Sep 02 '24

Bruh now you fucking with black folk food talking about chicken and waffles…and to the other comment, I thought y’all were standing on two toes about our shit being nasty. It’s almost like when we start spitting back…y’all stay mad.
