My breakfast nowadays is 2 tablespoons of baked beans with a fried egg, sunny
side up, on top, the egg cut up and mixed in with the baked beans.

I opened a can of the 'English Style' beans (above) this morning, and had
them with my egg.

They would have to be the most insipid, lack lustre, flavourless baked beans
I have ever had the misfortune to eat.

Luckily the egg yolk added some flavour and body to the baked beans.


The rest of the tin will be going into the pooches dinner bowl tonight. I'm
sure she'll enjoy them mixed in with her doggie biscuits, crispy pork rind,
and leftover potato gnocci.

Hmmm... I just bought a couple of cans of Heniz beans to take with us to
the dance convention. I don't know if they are considered to be baked beans
or not. I was thinking more along the lines of American Pork and Beans.
But I could be wrong. I know I have had them before but not for many years.
We may or may not be eating them then. Now that I think about it, stuffing
daughter full of beans and sending her off to dance may not work out so
well. Hehehe.

What I would probably do with them if they indeed were not good would be to
drain off most of the sauce or maybe even give them a quick rinse and add
them to a vegetable soup.

LOL!! She's always been an outside dog.

She may be a short hair, but by golly, she drops enough hair each day to
make a new dog out of it!!


Besides, she can't bite trespassers when she's indoors :-)

The list of beans available is on that webpage.


Watties (my favourite for taste) does a Boston Baked Beans, but I haven't
seen them on the shelf as yet.

The beans are rather soft, and you could probably add the sauce and beans
to the soup to give it a bit more body/flavour.

My shop only had one can of Watties left, so I had to resort to bloody
Heinz :-/

It was rather bland, but would probably thicken your soup up a bit, if you
wanted it thick.

He's in Australia and the beans in question were not "gourmet imports".
They weren't the British beans that you get in the US, they were
Australian imitation British beans which according to the label on the
can were "packaged _for_ Heinz" by somebody I can't make out.

Not that I would buy British baked beans anyway--B&M and Bush and the
rest give such a wide rangs of options that there seems to be little
point to it.

I do agree with you on the vast range of US domestic baked beans and I
very seldom (almost never) buy imports. Usually, I'll have to admit that
I buy non-fat varieties but sometimes add a little Worcestershire sauce
when heating them up.

I have to tell you that you impressed me. You didn't say that it was
nasty or disgusting or anything, you just made it clear that you are
not one who enjoys unusual foods. I think that's great and an
excellent way to state your feelings! Thanks!

I am one of the people who will try almost anything, providing that
the person suggesting it has a bite first, to prove it is not a joke
of some kind.

I've been pleasantly surprised at some of the enjoyable flavors I've
tasted while eating some very unusual foods and combinations of foods.

The show "Bizarre Foods" had an episode where the "Bloodline" of a
Tuna is cooked and eaten in a Japanese restaurant. In Japan and
everywhere else I know of on earth, the bloodline is thrown
away...always!

Well, I asked a local fish shop to save some for me and I cooked it
exactly as the guy on the show did. DAMNED if it didn't taste and have
the exact texture of well done beef roast! It surprised me so much
that I will have it many times in the future. Especially if the shop
keeps just giving it to me. (I especially like that part). The shop
owner screwed up his face and looked at me like I was insane when I
told him I wanted to try eating it.

My point being that most of the odd foods I've tried were good. You
just have to get over the "Oh no, you aren't eating THAT are you?" in
your own mind.

The show wasn't very detailed about it, so I watched the recording a
dozen times or so, freezing the frames. It was cooked on a grill and
had what looked like a thick, glaze covering it while it cooked.

I know that lots of Japanese use marinating to infuse the meat with
flavor and to limit off-tastes, so I gave mine a 24 hour marinade in a
honey/citrus mix. Then I simply put it onto a low-heat grill and
turned it only once at 30 minutes, cooking for an additional 15
minutes on the second side.

It was simply delicious. It even looked delicious. The glaze had
lightly burnt spots that added to the end result.

The standard fish meats are all good this way too.

Oh man, now I'm hungry...hehe

I used to raise rabbits for meat also, but it was for me, not the
cats.

I quit doing so because of the amount of snakes that were attracted to
the cage area when there were babies. OMG, I had one tap me on the leg
one time while I was adding food to a cage. When I looked down, a big
black snake was raised up to my thigh level and had bumped me. Holy
Crap! you ought to have seen me running backwards.....hehe, funny now,
but it wasn't then!

Moccasins, rattlers, you name it, here in Florida, in the middle of
"Six Mile Swamp" within hundreds of square miles of forests, I've only
leased my property from nature. She's made it clear she can take it
back any time she wishes to.

I got tired of the snakes so I quit raising the rabbits. Lately, I've
thought of starting it again. I miss having the meat.

In all the ones I raised, I never had any with parasites on them as
you describe. Raising them in cages vs being wild was probably the
reason.

Parasites gag me out.
