Do you even *look* at or check out the links you post??

Obviously not.

Which brings the 'special school' response of "Huh? from you"

I wonder if it is geographic--Graham is north of the boarder. You
used to be able to just go to anonymiser.com - but now they want $80 a
year.

I don't know what the new work-around is-- but if someone does, I'd
like to hear it.

Yes, they want you to pay to subscribe to the newsfeed. I just looked

How does it feel to be a "character assassin"? Lately you have doubled your
efforts in your quest for the ASSHOLE OF THE YEAR award.

We woke up grumpy today, did we?
She offered an article to be read. A lot of us like to keep informed
as to what is going on in the world of food and who the players are.

LOL!! No.

It's coming up to bedtime here.


> She offered an article to be read.



As have I in the past... and they has been 'howled down' by her and her
scaly mates.

However, I stand by my comments...... Heinz is a shit product, and
anyone who extols the virtues of it has absolutely no taste whatsoever.


> A lot of us like to keep informed



I'd rethink the "A lot of us" comment...... seems most over your way
aren't concerned one iota about what happens outside their own little
bubble.


> as to what is going on in the world of food and who the players are.



Yes, I like to keep abreast of *all* happenings in the world.

Unfortunately, there are some here that are so closeted that they really
don't know that a world exists outside their bubble.

LOL!! Gotta love old Barbara's tactic at replying to people who reply to
me, but ignoring me whilst leaving my comments in, after spending so
much time talking to me..... just to 'show' me that she's KF'd me :-)

It's quite pathetic really.

Not to mention wanting to know what is going to be available on the
grocery store shelves. I don't use ketchup but Heinz makes a lot of
other condiments. Heinz 57 steak sauce springs to mind. My dad loved
it Will the sale of Heinz affect the product? Some people do care.

Peter doesn't live in the US so he needs to STFU about all things
American. Oh, and who really gives a crap which computer he's posting
from? I k/f'd both incarnations. The only reason I see what he posts
is because people reply to him.

I found an excellent canned bean product the other day. It's a no
name brand; made with real maple syrup. It cost $0.59. An
outstanding deal. Pretty yummy stuff. Pretty sweet and definitely
not diabetes friendly.

The no name brands and store brands are made by big name companys,
only difference is the label and lower price... what you bought could
very well be Heinz.

Not in my case, here in Oz. After trying the Heinz, it's a bland boring
flavour that you could never mistake for anything else.

My store brand is streets ahead of it.

I was strictly a Watties BB guy, but during the bushfires down in Tassie,
the supermarket ran out of a lot of stuff, and I had to settle for some
store branded BB in BBQ sauce. Watties BB sell for around $1.30 a tin, the
store brand sells for $1..... and they aren't too bad either.

I thought I might have to tweak them a bit, but they are fine on their own.

Still beats that Heinz crap, hands down.

????

As stated, the Heinz BB's and Sp, are bland and boring.

Watties are the best for both products..... ven though they are Kiwi.

And the baked bean jaffle.

Gotta watch it when you're eating one of those fresh cooked ones though,
it's *bloody* hot!!

And *only* use Watties baked beans, if you want a jaffle/sandwich with
flavour.

I remember baked beans on toast but not sandwiches from my childhood in
Britain (an open-faced sandwich, I guess) and I recall the spaghetti
sandwich which a visitor from New Zealand brought for to the amazement
of colleagues.

My kids used to love beans on toast, but I have never seen a bean sandwich.

Maybe it's Canadian. My grandfather, who was Canadian by birth but of
Scottish ancestry, made baked bean sandwiches for lunch the day after
having BBB for dinner the night before. He claimed "the English" made
bean sandwiches, so I believed him.

Now that I'm thinking about it, an open faced bean sandwich and an egg
with a runny yolk on top might be good for breakfast. I should try
that sometime and see how it works for me. I like a nice poached egg
on a square of fried polenta, so anything is possible.

I haven't thought about them in years. We made them from my mother's
home-made baked beans. Those beans weren't runny like the ones from
cans. My mother sprinkled a little vinegar on them when she made her
sandwich, so that's how I learned to eat my sandwich. (this was with
the cold baked beans) These weren't sweet, barbeque beans, just a
white bean baked with onion and bacon.

I was wondering the same thing.

On her show, Trisha Yearwood made lasagna for her husband, Garth Brooks.
Something I would never think to do, he loves to have a slab for
breakfast, he puts it on two slices of bread and eats it like a sandwich.

When I lived in Australia, the BB sandwich was a staple at most lunch
counters.

I beg to differ.

How long ago did you live here, and where exactly?

They might have been a 'staple' in some peoples homes, but certainly not
in any deli's/sandwich bars.

And I can't remember them ever being on the 'menu' at any school I
attended.

And at home, it was usually as James said, BB on toast. The 'grown up'
version is to have BB on toast with a runny egg on top.

Well, that's odd because I can't ever recall seeing one before - in a
shop or elsewhere.

I'm reaching the end of my bottle of regular Heinz, so I bought a
bottle of Simply Heinz the other day (significantly more expensive
than what I usually buy) since I was thinking about it. Double
checking: Is that the one posters here say is so good? If it's not, I
haven't opened it yet.
