What are the best beans.

Though Heinz are a commonly accepted as the nations favourite, I think Branston Beans are by far the best.

I don't eat beans (do love to flick someone's though 😉) but the Branston spaghetti is 100% better then the water Heinz crap...sadly struggle to find it near me anymore for some reason.

PS Heinz need to bring back Toast Toppers..best product of theirs by far!

I find the sauce with Heinz far too sweet now - might be just me though. Branston are my go to now ….. but i took a chance on the Heinz Cathedral City Cheesy Beanz, as i often great cheese into mine … and i was pleasantly surprised

Although, beans are high FODMAP so I can't have them anyway.

I did want to try the new flavours, on jacket potato.

Heinz owned by a big American company, typically they reduce quality and shove cheap ingredients ruining the product in an effort to make more money.

I think I am with the majority here. Branston win, Heinz quality and taste went down a good few years back, never recovered.

The best are the ones you make yourself though.

"Lidls

Absolutely.

Great quality as good, if not better, than the major brands. And they're a third of the price!

Now, I know they're not for everyone, but my better half and I just adore the beans with sausages in (all in the same can). They're brilliant and I think they're about 60p (we don't check the price regularly, just throw some cans in the trolley). How much are the Heinz brand? Nearer to £2 I should imagine.

But don't forget folks - beans means farts! 😆
