Beans on Toast: Where Do You Stand?

sometimes this sounds tasty but OTOH I am not and have never been a hobo

can I have my toast next to the beans or does it have to be under them

I think "beans near toast" is demonstrably different from "beans on toast"

William, the Beans With Toast poll will follow the holiday

"despite occasional outbreaks of rancor, the board managed to keep it mainly civil for over a decade. that is, until the 'beans on toast vs. beans with toast' taking sides thread in early 2016. things got ugly after that"

Beans on sliced wholemeal, lots of black pepper. No butter but a maybe just a little smearing of marmite plz.

this is disgusting, never encountered it until traveling in New Zealand at which point all I could say was "lol britishes"

which I guess shoulda been "lol kiwis" but somehow I was more inclined to blame the Queen

video is possibly missing the crucial ingredient of butter on the toast... also it's eaten with a knife and fork you savages.

how else are you to glue the beans to the toast

also it looks like they are eating beans on untoasted bread.

Beans on toast with a squeeze of brown sauce = comfort food of childhood done totally right.

white bean + broccoli rabe bruschetta is really really delicious and bc of that i have say i am okay w/ beans on toast

"brown sauce"?

marcos that is totally different

open face beans on toast is legit but between two slices, gtfo

brown sauce = HP, aka House of Parliament sauce

xp: wouldn't that be "beans in between toast"?

Brown sauce does exist in the States, I remember my Dad searching for an acceptable substitute it's just called something silly. Beef sauce or steak sauce or something like that?

I think the closest US analogue to brown sauce is A1.

xp- i was just going off the second poll option

there's got to be something else we can put between two pieces of bread, right? some cheese?

gotta say that every single photo of beans on toast on the web makes it look like the worst sloppy load of pigswill ever. really no need to drown that toast in lake beansauce folks.

Definitely needs a good helping of butter, maybe even some chedder on top if you want to make it into a meal, add some garlic while cooking if you fancy and I like some chilli sauce, of which my current go-to is Cholula, but Encona was my choice for years.

A1 Steak Sauce, that's the stuff.

second poll option is just trying to find another use for two pieces of bread instead of making open-faced beans on toast as God intended. the bean sandwich poll will only have one option, to wit, would you like this bean sandwich?

i have eaten this in the context of breakfast, scoop the leftover beans and creton onto a slice of toast and sop up the beanjuice. definite hobostyle if you just eat it alone but otoh i have also straight up opened a can of beans, put can of beans directly on stove, and eaten it standing above my stove so \o/

i still have this for breakfast on the reg tbh

xp did you have to take the gloves off for that or were they fingerless

JCLC's arbitrary alimentary polls is one of my favourite genre of ilx threads lol

flopson what's the hobo symbol for "delicious beans & toast here"

Luxury posh beans on toast = grate cheddar on top, pop under the grill for a few minutes. Lush!

I am now contemplating A1 on toast and may need to make some purchases on my way home tonight

xps j.-

lol

i didn't even pick up the can, just turned off the heat. my roommate (who pioneered the method) would use tongs or an oven mitt to bring it into his bedroom

ctrl+f "resulting paste" whew no results

xp probably smart to retire to a private location for this yep

Beef sauce... Haha is it made from real beefs?

Beans on toast with a squeeze of brown sauce = comfort food of childhood done totally right.

my childhood version of this would be spaghetti hoops on toast fyi (probably shouldn't mention the crushed-up crisps sprinkled on the top)

oh yeah that's the stuff

also like chopped up pickled onion but not at breakfast time if we're entering the territory of disgusting real talk

Chopped up pickled onion, natch, if you're having cheese on it.

beans on toast is fine, but only for breakfast right? do you weirdos just eat it as a snack?

ew! put some butter on that. or mayhaps an avocado slice? poached egg? NO EBANS

For breakfast yr true weirdo eats this on toast:

"I would like beans on toast, only with an avocado slice and poached egg instead of beans."

Beans on Toast = "only for breakfast" like eggs = "only for breakfast". Why would you limit your food like that?

dammit i knew i'd forgotten something on the way home, was craving mushrooms this morning

Now I've started thinking about sticking a really super funny fried egg on top of beans on toast like when the caff overloads your breakfast plate om nom nom

coarse black pepper on the egg(s) - also important

you just killed darraughmac

I had a genuine phobia of baked beans as a child after I saw a television show about a girl who got one stuck behind her eye. I've grown up and gotten rational about it but I still find it hard to even pick up a tin of Heinz' finest.

Lightly buttered toast with a tin of Heinz spaghetti bolognese or macaroni cheese is the food of dreams, though.

Beans & square sausage on toast, right now

but you're not standing!

We're just sitting down to buttered toast over here! Lovely slices of buttered toast!

how do you get a baked bean stuck behind your eye

(asking for a friend)

I don't want to know
I don't want to know
I don't want to know

yeah wtf ew :(

yeah that was the worst part of the show - it didn't explain what actually happened. She went to school, had beans on toast at the cafeteria, came home with a sore eye and had to go to hospital. IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME was how I thought for the next fifteen years.

I've heard of people eye chugging vodka and other spirits, but beans? Maybe the beans had bourbon in them.

i've had contact lenses temporarily trapped behind my eye before, just for twenty minutes or so. i suppose if you squashed a bean and then shoved it up over your eyeball it would probably be a bit harder to shift, what with the greater bulk (and not forgetting the tomato sauce). kids quite often stick peas stuck up their noses and get them stuck (my sister-in-law had one lodged in her sinus for six months or so when she was young), so maybe it was a similar experiment gone wrong? either that or it was shot across a crowded room at just the right trajectory, lucky shot i guess

you've done this ... more than once?

out running, sweat in your eye, give it a rub, argh - contact lens in your brain, that sort of scenario

normally they just work their way back out after a while. a bean might be a different can of fish though

Thats what put me off contacts after about 2 weeks trying them. That, and then what happened to momus.

Maybe they had a contact lens malfunction while they were eating beans on toast, could so easily happen. Just rubbing an itch with bean-smeared fingers then oof - blinded by the light tomato-y sauce

so easily avoided in heinzsight

Rushed off to the school nurse, but alas - they were unable to find a pulse

However they did speculate as to the sauce of the pain.

It's surprisingly common actually. Doctors have identified 57 varieties of the condition.

This isn't helping my fears at all

Good work lads good work

I'm an American goddammit! The only things I put on my toast are guns!

DON'T BREAD ON ME

ugh eye talk ugh ugh no thabks

In America, you get guns stuck behind your eyes

In England, you get your eye stuck in a gun

That tomato sauce looks a bit too red.

From the Fortean Times: A Bean in Her Eye

No

we had a kids' songs tape at home with one song being called 'don't stick baked beans up your nose'.
guess what my brother had to go to hospital for

bean in thine own eye

I guess I shouldn't admit that I once got a Battleship peg stuck under my eyelid.

i hate this thread

Typed "bean in eye" in google and all my matches were for the bible wtf.

it is easier for a bean to get into yr eye than to attain the kingdom of heaven

I've never had beans on toast but it looks p appealing to me esp given my recent dietary adventures

Great British Classics

made many a baked bean sandwich as a kid.

I never liked baked beans. Not a fan of the mealy texture of the bean tbh. Which is weird, cos I love lentils and chickpeas, but kidney/navy beans dont do it for me at all.

shit on a shingle >> beans on toast

hot brown >>> SOS
