Yes thank you cruel. I wasn't sure how to turn that off.

[CruelCow]

Heh, sorry, I just couldn't resist.
Below the textfields that allow you to enter the answers there is an option called: "Poll Options:    Maximum votes per user", but you probably can't change that now.

I don't like cheapo beans (i.e. your tesco value variety) so I normally buy Heinz...i know it's overpriced because of it's packaging but I buy the snap pots...they have just the right amount of beans in them for everything...whether it be beans on toast or as a side to a main meal.

Not tried the branston variety - will buy a tin soon and do a taste test.

I like both tbh, but I normally buy basic crap in the quest to save money.

But I seem to recall that Branston Beans are a tad better than heinz imo

Just use half a can at a time, Cling film + fridge ftw.
Those "individual serving" pots are ripoffs.

I know they're a rip off - but I find that I rarely want to have beans regularly enough. I know what'll happen if I put a tin in the fridge - it'll get forgotten about - and then go mouldy = wasteful.

Amen! tell it how it is preacher!

[Tommy the Cat]

That's why real men eat whole tins

And it's alright cruel I still love you, even when you backstab me and make me have a rage-spaz.

[Officer Dibble]

Beans are beans. Some are cheaper than others, which makes them more appealing.

[DoomWolf]

I find Tesco normal beans (not the Value ones) the nicest. And they're much better value than the branded beans.

[discordance]

I don't like beans. Moar sexy topics please. Nine?

[Power]

Bananas! Chiquitas or this other brand that I don't know of?

Branston vs Heinz: A Study
Branston Tin vs Heinz Snap Pots


Method
1. Branston requires more preparation than the Heinz so to begin I must open the tin.


2. Pour the Branstons into a suitable microwaveable container (not necessary with snap pots - saves washing up)


3. Cold Bean Comparison


4. As per Zarfs recommendation - Branstons are clingfilmed (and are now waiting to be eaten 2 days later & using clingfilm - another added expense)


5. Pop them in the microwave (Sanitary microwave optional)


6. Meanwhile - prepare the toast. Two slices of branded bread.


7. In the toaster.


8. Waiting time. Pontificate about the world. I used this opportunity to take photos of my hands. (non-fapping hand shown)


9. Toast is done.

9a. Not Quite - bit longer methinks


10. The completed toast.


11. Add butter


12. Pour over beans and....ENJOY!



THE VERDICT
Flavour - I found the branston beans themselves had more flavour - but it wasn't a flavour I particularly liked - they seemed to taste more 'earthy'.
Colour - the Branston sauce was slightly darker.
Size - beans were about the same size.
Texture - about the same
The added hassle of creating more washing up, needing clingfilm and the festering half-tin of beans don't work in Branston's favour.

[Lister]

I've always found that the heinz beans were of a bigger size, but the branston beans were of a better flavour. This is my opinion on the matter.

[Tommy the Cat]

Although I strongly applaud your research efforts, snap pots are gay.
