English Baked Beans. They have them on toast. My daughter's boyfriend is
staying with us and he's English. They evidently devour these things on
toast and consider it a delicacy. I also have a young student in high
school from England and she fondly speaks of them too. We found them
(Heinz--which is what I get on Google searches) in an international grocery
for $2.99 a 14 oz can ("tin" to them). They are red beans in a tomato
sauce without the sweetness of the American version. But $2.99 a can is a
lot for the musical fruit. I am in Bloomington, Indiana and even the
Sahara Mart doesn't carry them. So I want to make a pot.
The can says 49% beans, 25% tomato and then "other," so I need the recipe
for "other." They are rather bland to me, so my other "other" will be
kind of hot.
