It has come to my attention that poeple outside of the UK are disgusted when they learn of the existence of beans on toast.

Why is this?

[Anonymous No.15269113]

The toast becomes soggy and wet, while youre left with gross, sauceless beans

[Anonymous No.15269125]

>>15269113
Untrue.
You butter the bread first you disgusting Mutt.
This forms a barrier to prevent bean juice soaking in.

Do americans really cally legumes on crispy gives you toots and break windsy "beans on toast"?

[Anonymous No.15269147]

American here I think it is fine would add something spicy to it seems bland also needs a crunch red onion would work

[Anonymous No.15269148]

>>15269110
It's good but not with American style beans. Have to use the blue, Heinz cans. They are available here, just 2X the price.

[Anonymous No.15269149]

I don't like beans, pretty much at all, so yeah I find it disgusting. The thought of blood sausage or pudding turns my stomach as well.

Just not my jam, Britanon. However, you do you let anyone tell you otherwise.

Im american and the beans on toast thing sounds kinda good to me actually
Actually the whole english breakfast sounds good to me. I’d gladly live in the UK and eat your cuisine.

[Anonymous No.15269222]

>>15269110
Not disgusted. We eat beans, and toast, sometimes even at the same time if we're eating Texas barbecue. We just think it's sad that you're not having delicious barbecue and mac-n-cheese and potatoes with your beans and toast.

[Anonymous No.15269229]

>>15269147
I mean the toast is supposed to be crunch.
But there's nothing stopping you adding to it.
People add brownsauce, cheese, bacon bits to it all the time.

I'm with you on the Full English thing. I'm dubious about black pudding, but I'd give it a try before rendering a final verdict. Doubt I'd want to live there, but a visit just to have a Full English, a Sunday roast, a good fish & chips, and bangers & mash would be worthwhile. I'd probably hop right over to Ireland for the pubs, Guinness, and distilleries as soon as I was done though.

That's the problem mostly.
People tend not to understand they are completely different beans.
When people talk beans in the UK they think Heinz, which are Navy beans. They are soft but full and carry sauce very well.
People assume beans on toast uses chilli beans like pinto or kidney beans.

[Anonymous No.15269280]

>>15269244
Yup, Heinz beans are available here. Same thing with Irish butter. Irish youtubers put me on to their butter, and holy shit it's a ride I don't want to get off of. I've just committed to paying double for my butter from now on to have the good stuff.

what does brown sauce taste like dearest bong

[Anonymous No.15269332]

>>15269324
Brown sauce tastes like brown sauce, its a difficult taste to explain, it tastes like vinegar and brown, if brown had a flavour

[Anonymous No.15269340]

>>15269332
Sounds like I'll just have to order some. What are considered some essential things to pair with brown sauce?

[Anonymous No.15269347]

>>15269340
Most meat, mainly sausages and bacon, eggs and brown sauce in a sandwich is also grand, I'm not a fan of it on chips like some people (I'm a red sauce man for that) and mix it in to the sauce of some heinz beans for the best bean experience

[Anonymous No.15269348]

Watered down barbecue sauce without any seasoning.

Enjoy my friend, once you taste the delights of brown sauce you'll never go back, also HP sauce is the best, some inbred northerners may lie to you and say its daddies but they're wrong

I just don't find the slightly mushy exture of beans to work with a crispy and buttered piece of toasted bread. I often make toasted sandwiches with some type of spread like mustard or ajvar smeared onto the toasted bread but the beans just don't fit in my opinion.
But when they are separate, as in full english - they are quite good.

Heinz used to be good but the quality has been lacking for several years. I go with Branston beans now.

They'll talk shit about beans on toast whilst eating a bean burrito. Boggles the mind.

[Anonymous No.15269868]

I'd rather eat a cup of beans next to toast. Spoon some beans on bread take a bite, repeat as necessary.

[Anonymous No.15269874]

>>15269110
Seems messy. Why not just eat the beans on a plate like you usually do, with toasted bread if you like. What's next, soup on toast?

[Anonymous No.15269877]

I used to do somethign similar with cereal and milk. Pour a bowl of dry cereal and a glass of milk. Then takes gulps of milk as I ate the cereal. That way I always had milky crunchy cereal.

I'm not quite that fucking weird anymore though.

I’m very English and I think it’s disgusting, though not the worst thing I’ve seen an bong do with baked beans, the worst was putting them on pasta almost as a Bolognese replacement. People find the shitty parts of British food disgusting because they are disgusting.

Beans are already fucking gross, but now they're making the bread soggy with their nastiness as well.

That's what I want to do, get shanked by an inarticulate Scottish chav ranting about IRN BRU or whatever the fuck it is you drink over there while he dumps some nameless curry sauce all over my chips and smears on blue facepaint. The Irish perfected both breweries and distilleries on those islands.

Believe it or not, that's not an unreasonable use of beans. People from Cincinnati do it all the time with their "chili".
>2-way: chili on spaghetti
>3-way: chili and cheese on spaghetti
>4-way: chili, cheese, and beans on spaghetti
>6-way: chili, cheese, beans, and onions on spaghetti
It's not even good spaghetti. How Cincinnati manages to fuck up a basic-bitch dish like chili and be proud of it, I'll never know.

I can tell by that picture the spaghetti is mushy.
