I have to disagree with Ringo's bean method. I think each individual bean needs to maintain its structural integrity as far as possible, so they should be scarcely above cold.
The best way to have beans is cold, on top of instant mash with plenty of butter and pepper.

for the best beans you should get the saucepan red hot, then dump all the beans in and go off for a fag, come back, flap a dishcloth around the smoke alarm, scrape at the pan with a wooden spoon, chuck as much as you can in the bin before filling the pan up with soap and water and then phoning the chinese.

The beans shouldn't actually touch the toast until the last possible moment, ie the beans sit in the middle of the plate with the toast round the edge. You scoop up a spoonful of beans, and slap them on the toast, which then retains its toasty crunchiness, instead of becoming soggy, flaccid, tasteless bread-sponge.

Wuh?
I concur with Herbs on the beans thing. Structural integrity all the way.

I can't remember the last time I had beans on toast. For god's sake people, you sound like a bunch of hobos exchanging cookery tips "Cor, you know what is just perfect, is when you get a half eaten burger out of its styrofoam box and then leave it over the Dry Riser Outlet until it's all lovely and slightly warm. Mm! Fantastic!"

I do think Ringo's beans are winning, due to the addition of cheese. Almost everything in the world is improved by the addition of a bit of cheese. If the cheese is slightly melty, through either heat (hard cheese) or age (soft cheese) then somuch the better. I could cope with the lack of structural integrity for the addition of the cheese. As long as I didn't have to do the washing up.

It was pretty good actually. But you really spoiled the moment by getting upset that the toast had gone cold while you were lighting the candles.

yeah I don't really eat beans any more. At university I had them pretty often, but since then... Not really. For a snack I tend to spread passata on a toasted pitta, grate over mozeralla, then garnish with anchovies, red pepper, mushrooms, oregano, and cheddar. 5 minutes under the grill.
Also do a lot of stir fry with ketjap manis.

I also like the toast to have gone a bit cold, so it's crispier, and so the butter is only melted by arrival of the beans, not upon application to the toast.

Why don't you just put chilli in normal ones. Heinz have so made you their bitch, man.
I've only tried them once like, when I was still with TheLady, who was very into her beans. It was an impulse purchase whilst hungover.
I also imagined that Heinz would have cooked the chilli into the beans more than I could have (been arsed). From the taste of their lovely chilli beans this assumption was correct .

we probably need some kind of chart that plots all forumites on the forum according to their exact class position, and then divide the forum up into applicable sub forums. That might prevent any future accidents like Louche / Boy Racer clashes.

ringo's bang on the money with the beans on toast technique. They have to be cooked long enough to go proper squidgy and mealy - sort of half-way to a refried bean consistency - and you need to add something which is sharp in flavour - worcestershire sauce or malt vinegar. you also need to add lots of black pepper. not so sure on your mixed herbs, there, ringo - that seems a bit poncy. cheese is a definite, though.
the only acceptable alternative method of eating baked beans is cold, from the tin, with a bit of salad cream mixed in.

How much of a twat I think BR is happens to be utterly unaffected by his positioning in the class system, though.

Acceptable if you're going cold turkey from a smack habit maybe.

Poncy? Fucking poncy? Mixed herbs do chuff all except texture food like sawdust. We have a mammoth jar of them and I hate having them in the flat. I want to scatter them in the wind like a hated uncle's ashes.
