Aldi beans

[guitarpete247]

They seem to have changed the recipe. Can a different colour. Cooking instructions changed. Nutrition, ingredients and weight changed. But worst of all the sauce seems runnier and the beans themselves harder.
Has any one noticed this?
Are Lidl beans any good?
We went off Heinz some time ago and were happy with Aldi.

It could be worse.

Lidl have only gone and changed their tinned rice pudding recipe.

I would never buy Aldi or Lidl beans, beans have to be Branstons or Heinz.
One annoying change in Aldi, is their premium vintage cider that came in 750ml bottles. The label is now different, its not as strong and doesn't taste anywhere near as good.

Personally I rate Lidl beans. Nearly as good as Branston.

Morrisons own brand beans (the red label ones) are very good.

LIDL beans are OK.
I tend to go for the Tesco 'Everday' own brand beans. They're fine.

I don't like Branstons, but do like Heinz

That was odd, I must have misheard, I could have sworn I heard someone say cooking instructions, for beans! ?

There was a great documentary on a few months back showing the biggest bean processing plant in Europe (I think) I wasn't aware they were pressure cooked in the sealed tin.

I don't think I was either, thank you. One of the Greg Wallace things?

The baked bean tv docu was Inside The Factory, a show that i always find fascinating.
If only Gregg Wallace wasn't on it, i find him so irritating with his constant maniacal laughing and he always repeats whatever the workers say.

Does a home remember when Netto were selling baked beans for a penny a tin?

Handy household tip #57
Store baked beans (in their tins, obv..) upside-down in the pantry. That way, when you open them, the right way up, the bean juice isn't all at the top, and the beans won't be clagged up at the bottom.

Everything in a sealed can is pressure-cooked (or some lesser heat-treatment). The amount of cooking being dependent on things like the acidity, salt content etc. which impacts pathogen growth OR, the need to cause some kind of breakdown of potential toxins e.g. in some beans.

PS: Branston are best....
