Beans or sheep?

[Phillip Dampier]

I grew up here in western NY on Grandma Brown's baked beans.  It is -the- brand for most people around here.  Not very Brokebacky, complete with the grandma on the label that looks straight out of 1960, but they are a good all around bean when you top it with bacon and lots of brown sugar.

I have little brand loyalty personally, so I've tried lots of different kinds since.  They all seem fairly good, but only one reminds me of growing up....  Grandma Brown.

Phillip, thanks for the stroll down bean lane.  Leslie (lnicoll) wrote to us once that she is from the same town as B&M baked beans, which I remember from my childhood in NYC.

Beans for me.  I agree with Ennis about beans... "Mmmmm".  I quite like beans.

Other... And not because I don't want trouble. I'm not too bothered about that. But because I'm with Nicole there: I couldn't kill an animal. I am a vegetarian too.

I'd have voted for shooting one of the sheep, except I can't stand mutton.  So the elk was the best of both worlds.  As much as I love baked beans, no way I could eat them solely for a week if I didn't absolutely have to.

Hey, I remember those!  Can't find 'em anymore, at least not down in South Florida.  It's Bush's (ironically) for me, now.

I have found a solution for the vegetarians.

[Ellemeno]

Wow, Ray!  How did you find that?

I wholeheartedly  concur!     Mutton will do when I'm starving.
