~ ~ I wonder just how many tins of baked beans (Heinz or other brands) are eaten in households throughout the world on a daily basis? Hazarding a guess, I’d say it must run into the millions.
And did you ever meet anyone who DOESN’T like baked beans? I’ve been racking my brain all day, and I can’t come up with anybody of my personal acquaintance!
They are included in the staple diet of nearly everyone, and I bet if you went ... ...least a couple of tins nestling in there.
I know that I’ve just finished off a small tin for my lunch. All in the course of my research for this opinion, you understand. Not that I need any excuse. ~ ~ I’ve always eaten baked beans, for as far back as my memory goes, and will continue to do so for as long as I live. I simply love them.
I’ll take them anyway I can get them. On toast. In baked potatoes. As a vegetable with my main ...

Advantages: A superior tasting tomato sauce plus there are more beans in a can. Disadvantages: Contains more salt than Heinz beans.
...baked bean I'd be an HP brand because I'd be all rich and saucy. It would also be nice to know that my sauciness would be helping mens' prostate glands. With one stroke I'd be doing good, as they lapped up my lycopene content. Mind you, I wouldn't like be eaten. Mmmm, but on second thoughts, there are far worse ways to go than while being ... anyway ...
I'm not a baked bean so it doesn't really matter, I just eat them. Oh, and I'm not like the bloke ... ...can. This is where HP is a winner. Their tomato sauce is far superior, in my opinion, than the other brands that you'll find in a typical supermarket.
It's much richer and thicker for one thing - which is always acceptable. It's not runny and watery like some of the inferior has beans. The sauce is full of nummy things including real tomatoes, none of that puree stuff. There's also more ingredients than the competitors put in theirs. So, most definitely, ...

Advantages: Cheap, easy to open, easy to prepare Disadvantages: Boring old baked beans
I don't recall having bought HP beans before. Now, you might be expecting me to go on to say that we are loyal to Heinz. But no, the truth of the matter is that I usually buy the cheapest baked beans in whatever supermarket I happen to be in. Providing, that is, that they don't have anything nasty in such as aspartame, which I have read turns to formaldehyde in your body and pickles you alive.
Funnily enough, although my family members woujld probably, ... ...'buy 4 get 2 free' HP baked beans multipacks in Lidl because they worked out so cheaply per can. And what is my opinion of them?
Well the can looks good, if a little on the boring side. The colour scheme is darkish blue, with gold bands, which gives the appearance a certain gravitas and respectability. There's a lighter touch in that two actual beans nestle in the loops of the letters 'b's of 'baked beans.' The contents are declared to be gluten ...

Advantages: Easily available Disadvantages: Excess could lead to increase in global warming
...aint no Heinz beans, they’s HP beans, same shit different tin. Look at them ‘grediants, you got beans, water, tomato puree, sugar, starch, salt, herbs an spices. All the same shit you got in a can a Heinz, just different label thas all. Open that can, an it’s even got a diddly ring-pull so’s you don’t need no can-opener, and I ready to bet you don’t tell the difference ‘tween these fine HP beans and the Heinz. ... ...that they IS Heinz beans in that can.” He shrugged, “I aint saying that’s so, but thems prime baked beans.”
Taylor was shaking now.
“You’re crazy. I’ve been fed Heinz all my life. Do you think that I can’t tell the difference? The colours different, the smell’s different and the taste is all wrong. Why couldn’t your gorilla get the Heinz? I gave him the money.”

..., but i saw these hp beans on offer in a local store 4 tins for a pound so i thought i,d give them a try.
The tins are normally between 35 to 40p a tin and you can buy them in most spermarkets and even some of the little shops too.
The tin is blue with hp baked beans in white bold letters on the front , so its easy to spot, its a normal can with no pul lid so you have to use a can opener.
On the back of the tin i heating instructions, but i,m ... ...know how to, but for those who don,t you can cook in the microwave or on the hob.

...These are the normal HP beans which by them selves are the best baked beans avilable right now (superiour to both Branston and Heinz in my opinion) with the added ingredient of small sausages. You get around 7 sausages in the can, and they cook the same way as the norml beans, thus you bung them in a dish, microwave them for a few mins, take them out and whack them on you toast. There a full meal made in minuites, and the best thing is tastes amazing.
... ...is just so much better than the other, Blue can is better than the green and orange (of heinze and branston respectively) the sauce is just spot on, the beans seem to taste better and most of all the sausages are the nicest of the lot.
The price isn't significantly different to that of it's key rivals but it is off putting compared to the price of the homebrand ones of say asda's.
The beans taste sharper and more fresh (fresh baked beans...) than ...

Advantages: richest sauce Disadvantages: more expensive
...husband and I were young HP was always considered the 'best' quality product for baked bean and sauce. The colour and consistency of HP baked beans is a class above many well known brands. Their advertisements on TV are catchy and I can remember them from when I was a child. Although they are more expensive than shops own brands they are very competitive with the well known makes. The distintive red labelling has changed very little over the years ...

Advantages: Ok... beans are cheap yeh? Disadvantages: Not as thick sauce wise as I like
...in the beans market, as HP do a really good range of breakfast menus in tins, such as 'All Day Breakfast', which are great, you can heat them up fast and they fill you up.
As a tin of baked beans on its own though, I think they are a bit paltry. They would be great for people who like their sauce runny all over the toast, as there is plenty of it. Even the colour of the sauce is darker than Heinz, not that it affects the taste.
Overall an average ...
