    They should lock the whole country up for the baked beans pizza

      Heinz is a US brand. You can blame them.

      I’d like to try it though. Looks… interesting.

      A long, long time ago when I worked somewhere that briefly made Fridays optional over time days, on a Friday we’d order breakfast to work sausage, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, and beans on something baguette like was very common. The old adage applies …”don’t knock it until you’ve tried it”.

      I haven’t had beans on pizza. I’ve probably had worse though.

    Excuse me but that isn’t an official, original “Colin the Caterpillar” cake from Marks & Spencer, but an inferior and entirely unauthorised " Curly the Caterpillar" clone from Tesco.

    As a proponent of fine British cuisine I take offence to this dire misrepresentation.

    Look, I visited Britain a few years ago and you guys had pie with fish in it, which seemed kinda unique, fish & chips with vinegar in a newspaper, shortbread, haggis and other non-dessert “puddings” and breakfast with sausages etc… (Also, we went to an Indian restaurant in Britain and it was really good. Like world class good ngl.)

      British cooking has a bad reputation, but they make really good comfort food. Sunday roast, yorkshire pudding, steak and ale pies, shepherd’s/cottage pie, full english breakfast, pasties, fish pie, beef wellington, scones! I could go on. Sure it’s mostly brown and beige food but cooked properly all of these dishes are really tasty!

      This meme is British people poking fun at ourselves.

      Americans just recycle the same jokes from Reddit “lol conquered the world but doesn’t use spice”. From people who’ve never left their home town. You can ignore those.

      The French also insult our food and they have more of a point but that’s another matter and I’ll personally fight them over it

      British “Indian” restaurants are genuinely S-tier. In Oz curries are too wet and they put cream in all of them regardless of the dish.

      British Curries are different than a lot of “authentic” indian curries, but they have become a thing in of them selves, over the years, and they are great.

      I had one for my last birthday. I’m 45.

      Come to think of it, it might have been the Aldi knock-off. Cuthbert, I think.

      Anyway, thanks for listening.

    Heinz baked bean pizza sounds kind of amazing… I’m guessing that ones not available outside the UK though lol maybe I can make it myself at home

        Presumably it’s on pizza crust instead of toast. I know I can get the UK Heinz baked beans at a few different stores here so I might try to do it myself lol

    Please tell me that Heinz Red Beans Pizza isn’t a single label. It’s just a trick of the light, right?

    I’m sick of people coming at Canada for Hawaiian pizza when the British are putting baked beans on their pies.

          Hold on Uncle Rodger… He tried to get them banned, therefore logic dictates that they’re actually pretty good!

            If I remember right he tried and successfully got them removed from school dinners. They tasted so good.

            They are back now, but a shadow of their former glory.

              Yeah, that’s right. Tbh I’ve not tried one in years. Something’s are better left in the nostalgic past. Crispy pancakes being a prime example.

        He gets more flack than he deserves. He tried to change school dinners yes, but the government at the same time were severely cutting back the budget for school dinners in general. Once the quality fell through, they used Jamie as a scapegoat for the whole thing

          Low quality turkey (animal) meat, mashed up and mixed with rusk, water, other low quality “meats” (offal, ears, pig trotters, bumholes etc) and an array of flavourings and sweeteners and reconstituted into a helical shape and coated with breadcrumbs and oven baked.

          Basically the same as any other easily affordable breaded, reconstituted meat product, except it’s in a helix instead of a sausage or burger pattie shape.

          I’ve never had one, but they’re probably delicious.
