Just had baked beans on toast for brekkie and they were awful no taste to the sauce. Wife normally buys Branstons but HP were on offer so she bought those big mistake.

Which brand does everybody else buy?.

Had to be Heinz, but also have to be cooked enough that most of the juice has gone, just heating them up won't do.

I hate Heinz beans. Branston and Supermarket own for me and as Tricky Dicky states, get rid of the Juice, I bloody hate soggy beans on toast.

Far to much juice in Heinz beans for my liking. The same for their tinned Spaghetti too.

Smedley, Whole Earth, Friend's, Ayam or Cross & Blackwell. "Other", then.

Pouring the juice off isn't right, it has to be cooked off. Takes a bit longer, but the only way.

The only way to eat Baked Beans is straight from the tin, cold.

Heating them up impairs the flavour.

Any brand is acceptable.

Branstons became - and gasified - the biz in the last couple of years eh. They're my current fave, but I tend to find with age, and until the girlfriend gets another job, that I go for a Tesco or Sainsburys baked bean that is around the 43p mark. If any quality bean from Heinz or Branston is available for the 50p-ish mark, i'll go for it. I am happy to spend around 80p on a lovely tin of butter beans though, and fry those little sizzlers for a bit to accompany a quorny meat impersonator.

i used to be in the Heinz camp, but a recent stock issue left only the Branston, and i have converted since. sauce is not as sweet, seems a bit richer flavoured. avoided own brands since a student, they make up the price difference in poor quality beans and drowning them in sauce.
