Baked Beans
Does every establishment in Thailand that serves an English breakfast use Heinz beans? It seems that way to me.
I see Branston is available here, and assume others which may be better than Heinz.

Note: To me Heinz beans are too sweet. Must be a load of sugar that they put in?

Re: Baked Beans
They’ll be by far the most expensive so I doubt many use Heinz, but then again most brands are relatively expensive.PeteC wrote:Does every establishment in Thailand that serves an English breakfast use Heinz beans? It seems that way to me.

Re: Baked Beans
Branston, and the aussie and new zealand brands are fine. I think some use Thai brands. You can usually tell Heinz as it is all sauce and fewer beans. Never liked it or used it in the UK and never used it here either

Re: Baked Beans
When I worked in Abu Dhabi Heinz beans had a completely different taste and to my taste buds were much nicer than those in the UK (I don’t buy them here so wouldn’t know what they taste like)?

Re: Baked Beans
Heinz are almost double the price of a brand sold alongside them in a small supermarket near me. Not sure if they're got the pricing wrong, as it's not one of those terrible Thai cannonball brands, I think maybe Aussie.

I won’t pay the price but I’m sure I have seen Heinz at about B100 a tin

Re: Baked Beans
I now buy Thai baked beans Ayam brand but you have to buy the tins marked English recipe. Ayam also has two other types of baked beans but they are not so good. You can buy the English Recipe beans at Lotus, BluPort, Nany's or many other places and they cost about 65 Baht per tin. American Baked Beans have lots of added brown sugar. Heinz makes both English and American baked beans and uses cans with the same labels so you have to be sure that the Heinz beans you buy actually come from England.

I was converted to Campbells Pork & Beans during my time in HH. Since coming back to Blighty I've discovered Bransons.

Re: Baked Beans
Exactly - when I was in the Uk last year you could pick up a tin of beans from Aldi at just over 40p and they taste as good if not better than Heinz at a third of the price or a sixth of what they’d be here!!pharvey wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2025 9:25 pmOh, I think I could live without Baked Beans at 2.5 quid a tin!!Dannie Boy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2025 6:22 pm I won’t pay the price but I’m sure I have seen Heinz at about B100 a tin

Re: Baked Beans
Not too sure I've ever tried either, but with such a staunch recommendation, I'll have to give them a try - hell, can't be any worse than those served in the Royal Gwentdtaai-maai wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2025 9:32 pm I was converted to Campbells Pork & Beans during my time in HH.

Re: Baked Beans
I've gone native, and actually prefer the Thai brand these days - they aren't exactly cheap either.
