hanging-on in quiet desperation ...
- Location
- Kirton, Devon.
Baked bean loyalty seems to know no bounds (OK - there's Coke/Pepsi).
2 of the biggest arguments I can recall in my domestic life have been over my daring to serve-up Branston (the bean formerly known as Crosse & Blackwell) instead of the more usual household Heinz. Even Wimpers went ballistic at my effrontery.
Now, as any epicurean will appreciate, the Branston BB is clearly the finer product, the sauce thicker and richer clings effortlessly to the bean, the tomato flavour deeper and the tender bean texture superior to the flaccid runny sweet Heinz sauce and it's hard beans.
Other beans are of course available, and some compare well with the Heinz product, but nothing comes close to matching the all round superiority of the Branston product.
I will allow others to differ as long as they accept that they're wrong.
Over to you....
