It may be hard to get but Bush’s baked beans (from the US, but I can get them here in Taiwan) are better than Heinz’s. Better in taste I mean.

buy some beans n boil em . there so easy leave em in water for a few hours then put em in some fresh water n boil em fast for about 30 mins change the water again n simmer them for about 45 to 60 mins . they freeze ok aswell so you dont have do keep doin them do a big lot at once n freeze them in 100/200g amounts .

What do you mean?

Do you think baked beans are so unhealthy that asking about them on a chicken breast and broccoli site is nuts or that fried chicken and pizza is good for bulking so of course beans are OK type of thing?

No, I was genuinely asking. Just because it seemed a bit of a strange question.

I like that you cited two hypothetical extremes of opinion that I could be coming from. I am from neither but more of a middle ground, my opinion on it is basically- they’re food, eat as one part of a varied diet. Sorry if it seemed like I was belittling the OP, it was not my intention

^ No problem…it’s sometimes hard to tell where people are coming from here sometimes.
