Beans on bread?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Is that an english thing? And do you put white beans in tomatoes on white bread, with butter. Sounds a bit messy for my taste.

Had beans in tomato sauce with mash potato and sausage for dinner. That was yummy though!

Toast! Not bread.

That's not just an English thing is it?

Don't forget to add cheese so you can have Cheezy Beans! Also, for the posh folk, add a fried egg under the beans.

I thought the correct way was to have the egg on top
I will ask delia next time I see her on the bus

I also thought beans on toast was one of those things that was global - apparently not

It will be messy if you do it like that!

"white beans in tomatoes" = baked beans, the bread should be toasted, and you can spread some butter (or margarine) on your bread if you wish.

You don't need to toast the bread. Baked bean sandwiches kept me alive when I was in my early 20s.

Smelly, but alive :lol:

I'm sorry, but it's an act of culinary sacrilege to have beans on COLD bread.

This from a man who eats tinned chilli, mind.

yeah, the bread would just turn to mush :urff:

but baked beans on toast? hell yes.

with a dash of balsamic, or a pinch of sweet paprika (but not both) in the beans.

Ah, you'd think so, but no, the butter/marge forms a protective waterproof layer between the beans and the bread.

Minced beef. Cook it with oxtail soup. Mash it up with potatoes, add ketchup, broon sauce and/or mustard (English preferably, French will do, none of that yellow American hot dog crap) to taste.

Stick it in the fridge overnight.

Make sandwiches.

Mmmmmmm-mmmmmmmmmmmm.
