I've been an avid consumer of Heinz beans for many a year (no farting jokes please) but now they suddenly taste different....... well not just different but horrible. There is a kind of metallic and bitter taste to them. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

beans are beans, it's the juice they come in you that need to watch
on Max & Paddy's Road To Nowhere last night, Max (the Mum type) bought a tin of Big Bob's Beans for 4p

Mine are fine. Check the sell buy date. On the other hand, a good smattering of mature cheddar will mask the taste. Failing that, a jar of Pathak's madras.

I've tried different 4 packs over the last couple of weeks and they are all the same. I've tried different makes but they are just ok. I've heard that Heinz and others have reduced the salt content and changed the recipe, perhaps thats it but if others have not noticed a change then it must be my taste buds.

I made Chili Con Carne last week with Heinz Beans. Tasted very good.

It was probably the chilli con carne that hid the taste of 'metallic rubber' beans

It could be, I just hope that I change then or I'm going to be grumpy without my beans

I haven't noticed a change in taste
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
You mean the chili and cayenne?Rivers wrote:It was probably the chilli con carne that hid the taste of 'metallic rubber' beans

i always buy heinz beans, but i tend to add pimento chilli powder or balsamic vinegar and a bit of ground black pepper to them while cooking, whatever i'm having them with, so i haven't really noticed any difference... and i do eat A LOT of them.
beans on toast? oh yes! try adding mushrooms, tomatoes & butter beans to the mix. bloody fantastic!
cook the mushrooms and the toms in the pan with a little olive oil first, before adding the beans & butter beans and cooking on a low heat to thicken up... dead hearty and very tasty!

its the nearest store to me...
to be fair, asda is also near-ish but as co-op win hands-down on the ethics front it really is a "no brainer" as to where i'd go shopping
