There's beiges and golden browns galore but it is delicious yet still.

There's a brilliant clip of John Cena trying beans on toast, where he mocks it's appearance, and then is pleasantly surprised afterwards lol. I love that clip. I think it encapsulates British cuisine to a t.

I saw that. They don't have beans in America? They have Heinz... How can he not have had beans?

[u/ChickenGamer199 → u/Individual-Cup9018]

They have beans, but not traditional baked beans in the British sense of the word

[u/Individual-Cup9018 → u/ChickenGamer199]

So when they eat beans how do they eat them? Are they dried or in a different suspension?

EDIT: nevermind. I discovered Google.

[u/ChickenGamer199 → u/Individual-Cup9018]

My interpretation of it is that they eat them the same way Mexicans eat beans

Americans usually eat beans in some kind of soup or in a salt and water suspension when plain. The entire reason we’re often repulsed by the way the British use beans is because the Heinz Beans aren’t readily available and are very similar in appearance to the American baked beans in a brown sugar sauce that usually doesn’t go well with savory/starchy foods. The way you use Heinz beans is closer to the way we’d use chili with beans.
