This is the comment I came looking for. The American soldiers stationed here during world war two did us bloody dirty, and unfortunately the stereotype persists from people who've never even been here, let alone have actually tried beans on toast.
That’s because you haven’t tried it. I said the same thing before I went to the UK, it’s now a go-to dish. Beans are inexpensive and they’re good for you. You usually add shredded cheese to the top as well. It’s really not too dissimilar from some Mexican dishes that use carbs, beans, and cheese, and nobody is losing their minds about that. Just different bread and beans being used.
