I'm a big fan of Heinz Beans in Tomato Sauce available in the UK.
They're hard to come by in the States and when I find them, the price
is usually steep. Does anyone have a good recipe from scratch for
something that comes even close to the flavor? Thanks!

I don't know that product AT ALL. Do you mean "chili beans?" If so,
that would probably be baked beans or kidney beans mixed with a tomato-
type chili sauce, although I've never done that.

I'm sure you know baked beans - very popular in the UK, right? I
start with Bush's original and then add yellow mustard, brown sugar,
Worcestershire sauce, a little ketchup, and sometimes diced onion and
sweet pickle relish - bake an hour or so in the oven - almost like
homemade baked beans.

Sorry I can't help with your original question.

Hi Nancy,

The product he mentioned, are baked beans, made by Heinz.

Which are nothing like American baked beans!
I can find them at Acme and Wegmans, and they're not that expensive.

Amen! I think they're much better. Lighter, fresher flavor. Not the
heavy goo that passes for canned baked beans in the US.

I find them at Albertsons and the Kroger group stores here in the
Intermountain West. When I lived in NYS, I got them at Wegman's and Tops.

You sure you do not mean 'Excellent british kitchens'? Because the
food that they prepare here.. Always glad when I head back to the
mainland, which they call Europe, funnily enough (I always thought the
UK was part of the EU, but here they do not seem to think so).

Is that not where the "cuisine" would originate? I have eaten wonderful
and delicious British food in many places in the UK, both in restaurants
and private homes.

Whatever... For one thing, I think you nitpicking over semantics. For
another, I've eaten plenty of good British cooking that bears no resemblance
to anything found in France.

Stilton soup for example. Or chestnut soup. You won't find
the first in France, unsure about the second.

I watched an animated movie tonight, Flushed Away. Set
in London.

Long story short, there was a boat made out of garbage
(made by a rat, what do you expect?) and part of it was
a can of Heinz Baked Beans.

If it wasn't for this thread I wouldn't have thought anything
was amusing about that can. Who knew Heinz baked beans
would be big in England.

I don't believe the Heinz baked beans sold in the UK are the same as those
sold here, although both are definitely Heinz prducts. The one time I
tasted them, they did not taste the same.

Until recently they seldom said "baked" in the label.

Now they tend to say "Baked Beanz". I have no idea
who is responsible for that one.

I know, lots of rats. I don't understand it myself.

Actually, I don't remember hearing about this movie before,
but it was pretty funny. I'm glad I saw it.

Wasn't there a "giant" can of Heinz beans on the set of Cats, that
resembled a garbage dump? You'd think I'd remember, as I can't remember
how many times I saw it.

I saw it once and I couldn't tell you. I might have been
distracted by the lady behind me with the crackly candy
wrapper.

I only saw it once in London which is where it might have been a Heinz can.
I just can't recall what it was on Broadway where I saw it numerous times.

You should have reached around and snatched that candy wrapper right out of

Crackle crackle crackle, I'm sure she didn't realize she was
fiddling with it. Finally the woman next to me turned around
and said, sternly, Will you Please stop crackling that wrapper!
(laugh) I don't think those were her exact words, but close.
The silence was deafening after that. And golden.

LOL! She deserved it. Did you see Cats on Broadway? Most folks attending
Broadway shows wouldn't make noise like that, at least that's my
considerable experience. I do remember one time, though, when I went to
see "They're Playing Our Song", and some girl/woman was singing quite
audibly with the cast. It didn't last long. :-)

It's true, I don't remember another time being annoyed by the

It was on the order of Wallace and Grommet, whom I don't care much for
- well, they're not objectionable, but I don't go out of my way to
watch one of the movies. I didn't care for Flushed Away, either.

I do enjoy lots of Brit movies that are pretty obscure around here -
have you seen Kinky Boots? It was on one of the free cable channels
not too long ago. It's pretty good. Also, Saving Grace is
hilarious. The one about the lottery winner - "something Ned Devine"
and a recent one about mishaps at a funeral - sometimes I end up
buying a copy just so I can watch it, since they're hard to come by
around here.

They've been eaten in the UK since the early 1900s.

Yup. Heinz tapped into a great market in the UK. Those guys love their
baked beans!

I had some good British friends who often had "beans on toast" for
