Oh yes. I once bought some "No Added Sugar Or Salt!" muesli. At least now I understand why they put sugar and salt in muesli.

I've never tried that mixture but the chilli powder is a good idea.

My grown up son and daughter won't eat baked beans. They just never took to them as kids, and we did try to encourage them.

If you're talking dirty food, there's nothing dirtier than Mr Kipling's french fancies.
All the colour, all the sugar...
I like to eat a bag of cheese and onion crisps at the same time as a bar of Dairy Milk. Chocolate, potatoes and salt are an unlikely but winsome combination.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
On the other hand if you buy high-quality muesli (the Neals Yard Rich muesli sold by Holland & Barrett has been my staple breakfast for donkey's years) you'll find that Alpen (yuk!) is horribly sweet.
The price isn't bad either. H&B rich muesli is 23p per 100g. Alpen (in 1.5kg bags) is 27p per 100g.

I like crisps and chocolate too, although I prefer galaxy and plain crisps. Haven't had it for a long time, I used to eat a bit of chocolate then have a few crisps, repeat until all gone.

No - it's sawdust. Expensive sawdust.
Anyway, baked beans. I've already provoked some into a fit of apoplexy because of my preference for a good-quality brand rather than a cheap one.
I'm with you on muesli, but I'm not so sure about the beans. I seem to remember Whole Earth ones having a hint of cinnamon about them. Which is just silly. When it comes to baked beans, it's either tinned or home-made, and there's no sense getting poncey about the tinned ones. Some are a bit better than others but generally I just avoid ones with sweeteners in, and compensate for whatever shortcomings they have with a bit of seasoning or by reducing them a bit. For the weekend full fry up I make my own extraordinarily good spicy beans.

Chuck the tinned beans through a sieve to wash out the industrial slurry liquid and add your own home made or decent brand tomato pasta sauce.

Good grief, people: we're talking about baked beans, not haute cuisine.

Bourgeois nosh is just sooo 20th century, dont you know luvvy...
Kinda my point - why the bourgeoisification of basic foods? It reminds me of all those tedious celebrity chefs who insist on poncing about with traditional peasant receipes.
