How do you prefer yours. Simmered in a pan, fried, microwaved, or even cold.
No, I have not lost the plot, but varnishing hanging baskets gives you time to think about things, even if they are trivial. LOLOL

Never had them fried, sound naughty but nice. I usually heat them in a pan and then forget about them. Scrape them out and put on some toast.-jl

I have never even heard of them being fried, - what a sheltered life down here!

I usually buy reduced salt and sugar variety of S*insbury own brand.
Don't like them mushy, but they are OK cold, but generally just have them heated through by simmering gently in a pan.

I buy those tiny tins in Poundland. Whatever size tin you have you will eat it.

Usually just warm them up in a pan or in the microwave.

Saw Anthony Worral-T do them once by reducing in a pan, adding ground black pepper and some cream. Tried it once and it was good but a lot of faff for baked beans.

Joy, i used to like bacon fried then my beans fried in the bacon fat but i fell out with that when a friend introduced me to

Fry the bacon then fry a slice of bread in the bacon fat and then put marmalade on the fried bread, now that is lush :-D

Try it and see what you think :-D

Micro wave on thick brown buttered toast.

As an aside from this and I apologise if this questions has been asked before when and why did baked beans appear on a full english breakfast?

Is this a regional thing? But then OH is southern and I am northern but agree on contents of full english.

My idea of a full english is bacon, egg, sausage, mrooms. fried bread, squashy toms as I can bash into f. bread and possibly if lucky blk pudding.

Julia Report 22 Mar 2012 16:49

Prickles Babes, it's how the cowboys ate their's. Thick slice of bacon in the pan first, about as thick as a bacon chop. Removed when cooked, and beans put in pan into the bacon fat. LOLOL
