The Versatility of Beans - how do you serve yours?

Well, it's 2:42am and this popped into my head. [It's a kind of stress-busting distraction requiring very little effort - and very effective too]. So, do you go for brand names and eat them as they are? Cold or hot? Do you prefer the supermarket cheapo bean as they are, or adding spices and sauces to give them heat and colour? On toast, with toast, bagel, naan, bread-and-butter - or only as part of a 'full English'? Half a can or whole can? Or are you traditionalist and make your own? From dried pulses, soy, red kidney bean? Tomato ketchup, mayo or brown sauce? Or in a sarnie with or without extras like crisps and pickled onions?

  • It does tend to be the big brand as the kids don't seem keen on the much(!) cheaper own brand. With some curry powder on toast. They do cheese too but I prefer without. My son mixes in mayo!

    Sometimes for dinner we also have eggs, beans and toast. (For a breakfast with mushrooms and tomatoes would be devine). 

    As an older primary school child (11), I'd walk home after school and have a whole can of cheap beans with two slices of toast and coffee as a snack! I think I was doing most of my growing then as I got tall. And still have dinner at 6.30
