I'm in a bit of a dither. Things are not alright in my world. Just had beans on toast for tea and they didn't taste quite right Not as sweet and a bit creamy YAKKITY YAK
Looked at the tin and the label said Beanz. Are these different to Baked Beans? If not, when did the label change? If they are different - I'll have to ensure a more focused shop next week.
Anyone else noticed a slight change in taste?
Very concerned from Lincoln

According to this they're the same beans, but the salt content has been reduced, so that may have changed the "mouth feel".
I'd suggest a mass letter-writing campaign ("Save Our Beans!", "Beans for Britain!", "Beans for Britons, not Britonz!", etc.), a product boycott, and if all else fails a picket outside supermarkets and the company offices (located at South Building, Hayes Park, Hayes, Middlesex) with placards saying things like "Heinz Beanz are Meanz".

Beans come in tins. I still find the new fangled ringpull goes against the grain somewhat. What will they think of nextFrancis wrote:I hope you haven't bean tempted by thoze beanz in potz Debz. Microwavez are the work of the Devil.
Jars, apparently Beans in jars? What is the world coming to?

American Heinz baked beans are just wrong. Covered in a brown type sauce. Yuk! Worringly the only place I saw cans of proper beans was Moby's tea shop in the Lower East side. Far too trendy for me!

When I was at secondry school here in Nottingham, my nextdoor neighbours son used to melt a table spoon or 2 of butter in the saucepan first & then put the beans in - lovely, it does make them taste better, makes them creamy, I always do it now as well.

I've asked you before if you know or knew Adrian Hunt from Kirkby in Ashfield (he used to go to RC with a guy called Gobals and a few others from Kirkby, one of his mates used to do the whole white face & black eyes thing sometimes).
Me & Adrian did 6 dates of The Nephilim tour in '88 - he'd just passed his driving test so borrowd his moms car for it.

His name doesn't ring a bell,which is really annoying as I was a massive Nephs fan back then,saw them at Rock City and Birmingham Hummingbird around then,and Reading Fest in 87.
I am however aware of the Ashfield Mofo's, legendary cohorts of The Sisters around Wake and The Mish circa Children.

During WWII in Germany, Heinz made little spaghetti swastikas.

Heinz is an American company.

And for those who may not know - as well as making foods they also make dogs - The Heinz 57 breed (not sure where they make them or even how though)
Clever people those people at Heinz
