He's in Australia and the beans in question were not "gourmet imports".
They weren't the British beans that you get in the US, they were
Australian imitation British beans which according to the label on the
can were "packaged _for_ Heinz" by somebody I can't make out.

Not that I would buy British baked beans anyway--B&M and Bush and the
rest give such a wide rangs of options that there seems to be little
point to it.
