Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Just to satisfy my curiosity -how much does a large tin of Heinz Baked Beans cost in the UK? Made myself a treat for lunch yesterday - Bacon (Tulip Streaky is the only kind you can get here) and eggs with fried bread and beans. The beans cost 1-98Euros here in Italy...:confused:

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Thanks -perhaps i should think of importing them, someone is making a lot of money on them over here!

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

For some reason Heinz now brand them as Heinz Beans, rather than Heinz Baked Beans.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Probably cos of that advert song "Beans Means Heinz"?

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

They probably aren't 'baked' and never were, so they probably have been told to remove 'baked' from the label.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Seems there's an ill wind blowing in Italy mobertol:rolleyes:

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

One of the things I found odd when I moved to the US was that Heinz Baked beans and Heinz Tomato soup were not available in American shops , seems both products are only made for the UK market.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Think the Yanks got fed up of them round the old camp fire in olden days cuz thats the only thing Gabby Heys could cook:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

In Germany you can pay upto €1,00 - €1,20, but over in Holland €0,65.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

I haven't had heinz beans for a long time....then not long ago I had a small tin........they were not as good as I remembered them to be. I prefer Aldi Beans......they have a tastier sauce....much more flavourful.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

we do buy em, but was recommended try Branston Beans, we did they aint bad either, will have to give aldis a shot.:)

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Just bin to Tesco, got a 6 pack of 420gm blanket lifters for 2-09.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

They are something like 29 pence per tin cashy....so a big chink of money saved if you like beans.

There was something in todays paper about supermarkets and some snobby woman was saying who had ever heard of Solevita fruit juice......or Corale beans.........I'm tempted to write and ask her what she does with the cartons and tins...does she eat them too. Often the products in these less well known brands are eqaully as good as the branded stuff....after all orange juice is orange juice...beans are beans.......what is in a name on a label(apart form a chunk of cash from our purse).

You can try these lesser branded products and if you like them well, you have saved...if you don't like them, then you don't buy them again.
Some of us can't be so sniffy about where we buy our beans and juice.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Iam like you margaret they are as good as the rest

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Nice, Retlaw...very nice:D...enjoy them in good health(ma always says it's a poor bum...except she uses a rude word, that cannot rejoice)

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Might try bringing some Tinned spaghetti hoops back next time I'm over - that would get the locals talking...
As to the price over here I've just realised i bought them at "Esselunga" (which means the long S) - it's part of Berlusconi's assets so I'm sure the profits have been put to a good use!

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

George Gabby Heys could also do beef jercky as well.
So did Walter Brennan, e wert best.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Berlusconi probably doesn't eat Heinz beans - he is a well known "blanket-lifter" though in another sense!

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Remember that wonderful scene from "Blazing Saddles":s_fart:

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Strictly on the subject of Heinz baked beans, here are some words of wisdom I learnt at my grandad's knee:

Let the wind blow free
Where ever you be.
In church or chaple,
Let it rattle.

And:

A fart is a gust of wind that gives your belly ease.
It warms the bed in winter, and drives away the fleas.:eek:

My grandma's usual respose went something like: Don't be tellin t'lad stuff like that. He'll grow up to be a bad 'un. He'll be in t'boozer every neet.

Could never quite follow her logic, but I can't fault her prescience;):D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

seeing as we've moved into the realms of prose, a little ditty we'd caterwaul lustily (as sing wouldn't do our raucous efforts justice) :D

Beans, beans are good for your heart !
Beans, beans make you fart !
The more you fart, the better you feel !
So eat baked beans every meal !

I didn't say it was good, big or clever, but by 'eck ! :D

Here it is

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

By the way, we can buy the product in Canada. Just checked out a can I have in my cupboard. The sticker price is 79 cents. Was it Heinz that made the curried beans, and the curried beans with sultanas:confused: Think I'll have baked beans on toast as a little snack tonite, washed down with a bottle of Bomber of course.:dancedog:

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Theres another well used expression.
An empty house is better than a bad tenant.
Retlaw.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Yes Retlaw, I've heard that one too....and we used to say that 'the tenant banged all the doors on the way out'........then we'd be told not to be so crude.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Always bought Heinz as habbit really but will try the Aldi ones now that Marg has said they taste better! 29p is alot cheaper! :D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Ya and you know the films an old one when Gabby Heys gets the girl:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:To Well:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Spent all yesterday evening trying to remember the name of the film and it came to me this morning - a classic, was it made in the 80's?
Watched the new "True Grit" last week -not a bean in sight - didn't rate the film much either although Matt Damon is always worth watching..in this film he reminded me so much of Douglas McClure - alias Trampas in the Virginian, used to love watching that years ago..

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Himself laughs until tears are streaming down his face at the blazing saddles campfire scene........what is it with bodily gases and men?

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Well you see Margaret lads don't let the old wind problems bother them they just let go and laugh, unlike the girls, they release SBDs then look at the nearest bloke and scowl:D:D:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

You know, hon, it is true that women don't far ... oops, break wind, as much as men do. That's 'cause they don't keep their mouths shut long enough for the pressure to build.:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

I spend days on end not having any conversation and fart whenever I feel the need - the bliss of being single:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

now, now Eric, I didn't think you feel into the sexism camp.
I was brought up to consider it very rude to break wind in company.......a hard habit to break. My husband laughs when I go to the loo to relieve myself of wind. It's just the way I am.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

I agree that it is rude to break wind in company. That's why god created the SBD, so that one could do it, well, silently .... and then blame it on the dog. :gooddog:

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

I just watched the Blazing Saddles video and I also laughed 'till I cried.
My wife left the room- she said she'd heard it all before-most nights.
Strangely enough, I don't often have beans- can't explain that.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Le Petomane revisited .... He could fart anything, from God Save the King to etc. ...... :D And there was no mention of beans.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

By the way, did anyone identify the brand of beans in the Blazing Saddles video:confused: Gotta keep on topic, eh.;)

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

And gotta keep off that brand of beans.Hope they weren't Heinz.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

talking about dogs and breaking wind......there was an old story that went something like this.....An old lady took her dog to the vet, complaining that he did loud and smelly 'trumps'.
The vet looked at the dog and declared he was in rude health, but perhaps she was feeding him food that was too rich for him.
He asked what dog food she used 'Pal' was the reply.
'yes' said the vet 'too rich for his digestion, get the cheapest dogfood there is and it should cure the problem'.
The old lady left.
A few weeks later the vet saw the old lady out shopping and asked how the dog was.
The old lady told him the the suggestion to cure his wind had worked.......and asked if there was any method she could use to get her husband to eat it too.

OK....I'll get my coat.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Oh, and while you are buttoning your coat ......

A young man decided to be an old fashioned romantic and visit his girlfriend's parents for an informal "let's get to know one another better" dinner. He loved his girlfriend, and he wished to impress. However, his rushed, on-the-run lunch had been a baked bean butty:eek: After dinner, sitting on the couch, he just couldn't hold it any more. But he managed to sneak out an SBD that would burn the paint off a footlocker.:theband: Everyone noticed. And his girlfriend's dad kicked the dog (gently of course), and said, "get outta here". The boyfriend, believing he was safe, let go a mass of gas not seen since the Western Front. And dad kept kicking the dog ... finally he gave it one last kick and said: "get the hell outta here before that sonofabitch craps on ya'all".

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Always said you have a way with words Margaret:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Having a dog can come in handy though Margaret, you caqn always blame the dog after an SBD:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

I don't need to blame the dog....but I know someone who does....except he doesn't.(blame the dog)
He just lifts his cheek and blasts away.........how very uncouth!

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Should you be talking about your better half like that on a public forum:eek:;)

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

it isn't anything he doesn't already know Eric.......after all I tell him often enough.
I think that after 44years I am wasting my time...it will be 45 in October(and they said it wouldn't last)...if he lives that long.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Sounds like a thinly veiled death threat to me:D:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

There is a cure, requires one extra large, tight fitting cork, some large cans of baked beans, but feed him outside, as the resultant explosion will spoil the decorations if done indoors.
Problem solved.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

And the headline in the "Observer": Not since the Battle of Messines, 1917, has there been .... etc.;):D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

A bit drastic -but they have a saying in Italy:
"Trombo di culo,
sanità di corpo,
l'uomo che non scorreggia
è un uomo morto!!"
i.e.
"A trumpeting ar.e,
means a healthy body,
the only man who doesn't fart
is a dead one!
Can't get it to rhyme properly in English -but you get the message "Keep eating them beans..."

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

In english its something like

Let the wind blow free, where err you may be, for it is the wind that killeth me:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Where ever you may be,
Let thy Wind go free...
In Church...or in Chapel
Let it rattle!

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

If I had done for him on our silver wedding, I would be out and a free woman now:D...probably with a free degree.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Very poetic.....

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

I have a full rump
I think I'll take a dump,
But first I must fart,
so that I can start.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

The longest fart ever recorded was by Bernard Clemmons, of London, England. It was recorded as being 2 minutes and 42 seconds. :D :D :D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

It appears the original theme about the price of beans has been "Trumped" :D by their cause & effects. :rolleyes:

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Well we aint gone off topic!! ;)

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Something has always puzzled me: do ladies fart side-saddle?

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Ladies don't fart they brake wind silently then look daggers at the nearest bloke:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

This must be the cut-price Lidl beans version. The full version goes something like this:

Heinz Baked Beans,
Good for your liver and good for your heart,
The more you eat, the more you fart.
The more you fart the better you feel,
So let's have beans for every meal.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Think its a good job we don't have smelly net yet or there would be some real stinks coming from this thread:D:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Better out than in though john:D:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Just depends whether your up or down wind WM:D:D:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

True but that comes with experience:D:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

I know and I've got it:D:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

You could always ask one...if you really want to find out.

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Think thats akin to lighting the blue touch paper, when you've done it stand well clear:D:D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
 

Yes John.............................................. ...........I know. :D

Re: Heinz Baked Beans...
