Do You Like Beans?
Jeff Wrangler:
After an expat friend who lives in London told me about the British predilection for baked beans on toast, I gave it a try and now have it from time to time (what's not to like about it, after all?). However, I eat baked beans on toast for dinner, usually accompanied by a nice salad, rather than for breakfast.

Let's also not forget their musical value. ... ;D ;)

What exactly are the recipes for beans on toast? I hear about this from time to time, but I've never had it... even in the times that I've traveled in the UK.
So, for a beginner, what's the best way to try this?
???

Hi Amanda. Here's what you should do to make the traditional Australian breakfast of baked beans on toast (it's probably done in a similar way in the UK):
1. Empty contents of can of baked beans into either sausepan or microwave dish and heat either on oven top or in microwave.
2. While beans are heating, place toast in toaster and toast on both sides.
3. When toast is ready, place on dinner plate and butter generously on top side.
4. Empty beans on top of toast and eat with knife and fork.
Easy-peasy!
Traditionally served with tea or coffee at breakfast time in Oz.
Heath would have been very familiar with this breakfast. He probably would have followed his baked beans with some vegemite on toast (eaten with fingers) and a big pot of freshly brewed tea. Mmmmm! Yum!
Enjoy! :D
