Overcooked beans in a sugary low quality tomato sauce, who on earth actually likes these things? Now, I can stand a small scoop on a plate along as they're lifted and drained from the orange gloop they come in, but they must not touch anything else.
Cassoulet is OK, it's drier, the beans firmer, and it's not swimming in sickly sweet ooze. Baked beans are children's food and adults shouldn't eat them.
Baked beans are bad
Only the sauce is bad the beans are good
Only the beans are bad the sauce is good
I like baked beans
WTF is a cassoulet
I have fond memories of a bowl of beans in a little café in Tuscany that transported me to the time I fell into the bins behind the abortion clinic
Well you kind of blew your objectivity in your description. Beans have a long and noble lineage. In the South West of France - around Toulouse, near Bordeaux but South; every family has- or at least used to have- an enamel pot of beans with duck or goose in them. They have a lot of extra meat from those fowl from the production if foie gras which is made from the overfed livers of either. The real $ is in foie gras and as a result they have a great deal of meat leftover which many families use in a traditional dish known as Cassoulet. It has a base of beans, the tougher cuts of goose/duck, I. e. legs, a bit of tomato- I'm sure there are plenty of recipes available on the net. Anyway, the dish is considered a classic and since most of the ingredients require long slow cooking so a typical rural Frenchwoman would always have a pot gently simmering on back of stove. Since it's such a French classic many recipes try to make it something fancy which contradicts the spirit and recipe of dish. That is an awful lot of work for an inexpensive ingredient but makes sense for the people in that are due to plethora of ducks/goose.
When you use beans canned are probably the worst option for quality but best for convenience. I always drain off whatever ingredient has for packing, I. e. oil in anchovies & other seafood. Food manufacturers use the cheapest possible ingredients for packing so if I'm making Caesar salad dressing I would never use the oil the anchovies are packed in. Once you drain them you can rinse them and then start with a product that doesn't already have 2 strikes against it. by the way, the beans used in Cassoulet and most of the better bean dishes use white, great norther, Cannelini, or similar beans. Lentils are iued in both French and Indian cuisine but they use better versions than are usually available in U. S. orange or pink lentils are usually high quality.
by the way again, how did you manage to fall behind a trash bin behind an abortion clinic. I have nothing against abortions, as a man I don't I deserve much of a say in the matter but the entire arrangement seems tres amusant
Tinned baked beans may be bad, but they pale in comparison to the punishments that Santa inflicts upon his naughty elves. It is a harsh existence, but we are all grateful for the opportunity to serve such a wonderful and loving man. I am always on his naughty list, and as a result, I am subjected to a variety of punishments and humiliations. Some of these punishments are quite mild, such as being forced to wear a leash or being made to wear a Santa hat at all times, but others are much more severe.
For example, I have been flogged with a whip made of holly leaves, had Christmas lights wrapped around my testicles until they are red and swollen, had my ankles tied to my wrists and suspended from the ceiling like a snowflake, been sodomized with a candy cane, tied to a Christmas tree and forced to sing carols until I pass out, gagged with a Christmas ornament, branded with a hot iron in the shape of a snowman, subjected to animal roleplay involving a reindeer costume and a dog collar, asphyxiated with a stocking filled with pine needles, and forced to clean the chimney with nothing but a toothbrush and a Santa hat.
It is a humiliating existence, but I have learned to embrace it, for I know that Santa's love is true and that he only punishes me out of a deep-seated desire to bring out the best in me.
Baked beans are paste like. Used in lots of Mexican dishes (or so I’ve experienced) and tastes delicious! Your picture showed beans. We say it simply,“beans”. With that we automatically know what it consists of. My mom would pan fry cut up hot dogs and white onion in some margarine, then add the beans and heat it all up. It tasted good with toast on the side to dip it. A treat! Now people will squish up their facial expressions if they’re offered this as a dish
Tinned baked beans can be a polarizing topic, that's for sure! These beans can be cherished comforts from childhood for some, while others find them unappealing. The sugary tomato sauce isn't for everyone, but there's a nostalgic charm that keeps them on many tables. Adults can appreciate them too with a twist, perhaps by adding spices or herbs to balance the sweetness or even as a topping for a savory dish. Cassoulet is indeed a more refined and hearty option, celebrating rustic French flavors with firmer texture and deeper richness. 🍲
Some brands of canned baked beans are okay. I sure as hell am not going to make them from scratch. But I always doctor them up with American bacon and/or ham, along with other condiments like BBQ sauce, a bit of mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chopped, sauteed, onions and garlic, and extra spices like possibly turmeric, coriander, cumin, chilli, smoked paprika.
I like baked beans with some meals like ham, fried chicken, or BBQ ribs. They are great with hot dogs on picnics or camp outs. And cole slaw is a good accompaniment.
Some BBQ and TexMex restaurants have great baked beans.
Never liked baked beans when growing up, can’t stand the mushy consistency.
My mother would always lament “A million housewives every day pick up a tin of Beans and say, Beanz Meanz Heinz” “… but not me.” her parody of the Heinz slogan.
I was a fussy eater, lol, I went through food phases of eating the same thing for weeks, months even, felt like years to me but maybe that’s an exaggeration.
On a flight, they served beans as part of the meal, she froze “He’s not going to eat that” she thought, and she almost had a stroke I ate the whole thing, baked beans and all. I think she genuinely feared she’d somehow got on the flight with the wrong kid, a mixup somewhere in the airport.
I remember saying those ones were alright, because as I remember they were firmer like grapes and were mild in taste. Or perhaps I was just so hungry at that point in the flight, lol.
I often now have a little mouthful on the plate to taste, usually regretting it. Just in case one day I find the perfect kind of baked beans to my liking again.
Canned beans are generally preferred because they are practical, but as someone who pays attention to healthy eating, I always prefer fresh beans. Canned products can often contain high levels of preservatives and salt, which can be harmful to the body when consumed in excess. In addition, substances such as BPA in cans can also cause health concerns. But of course, consuming them occasionally and in small amounts may not mean anything. After all, you have to be careful, but it would not be right to say that they are completely harmful.
I can eat canned baked beans, but I avoid doing so whenever possible. Homemade baked beans are a million times better and not that much harder to make, so if we're having baked beans for a BBQ, I'm going to make real ones. Canned beans should be reserved for backpacking trips and such where you have extreme limitations on preparing food.
I can’t think of a bean that I dislike but the baked haricot beans in tomato sauce I only have as part of a ‘full English’ which is rare. I wouldn’t say they are bad just not the healthiest way of getting this lovely nutritious food group into our diets , in my opinion of course
put some ketchup on em, and toss in some hot dogs cut up or cocktail franks and you got yourself some good eats!

agreed they're bad! I used to like them as a kid. the only people I see who like them are obese. just frying up some pinto beans out of a can is good enough. Just add cheese, butter, or some other type of fat for flavor.
British baked beans do sound disgusting, but that goes for most British food. In America, baked beans are delicious and certainly not cooked in tomato sauce.
I love Bush's Best canned beans with pork and they're rich mollasses sauce, we add chunks of cooked smoked bacon and butter and have them over slices of crispy toasted French stick with runny fried eggs on the side. So good.
Not all tinned Bake Beans are bad, its a case of working your way through the varieties that's available on the market, especially the low sugar/salt varieties.
