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.
