Why do Brits like beans so much? Why is such a staple in British cuisine?

i wouldn't say they're super sweet but heinz baked beanz definitely have a sweet flavor to them, because of the sugar in the tomato sauce.

Good grief. That said aren't beans a staple practically anywhere that beans can be found? It's not like it's just a Brit thing.

Just accept that you think they are a different type of bean.
Most of the time when people are all like;
>Beans for breakfast? Sick
>Beans on toast wtf?
You think they are some fucking pinto beans or kidney beans.

They aren't. They are relatively soft, flavourless and a perfect vehicle for sauce or flavour in general.
That's why these beans are perfect for breakfast, since they are always in a tomato sauce.
High fiber and good protein too.
Cheap and quick to make.
>>15765441
They taste of nothing really that's why they are in a sweet sauce.

>Iced Tea is undrinkable without sweetness
You probably are overbrewing the tea and balance it out with sugar to cover the bitter strong flavor of overdone tea.
Something not often taught in the US is that you don't just drop a teabag in hot water and leave the fucking thing there until you're done with the cup.

Whenever I've witnessed anyone making iced tea they pour the hot water in a cup, drop in a tea bag and let that fucker sit until room temp, like 10+ minutes. Then they pour it over ice, sometimes still with the teabag, and complain it's far too bitter.

m8 I'm British. Canned beans are notoriously high in salt and are about 5% sugar, or two tsp per portion. No, they're not in literal syrup like assbackward American beans, but they're still pretty sweet. There's nothing necessarily wrong with either of these attributes, but just denying them helps no-one.

I once had a roommate from the UK and I would take him grocery shopping. He ALWAYS bought beans. In Canada, we have Maple flavour beans. When he first saw these he couldn’t believe it. I grew up eating these and thought it was normal. Apparently this is a Canadian thing? Do they have these in the USA?
