Not only do we have many varieties and brands of baked beans in the US, but Heinz Baked Beans originated in the US. The Heinz Company sells catsup, pickles (including the gherkins variety), relish, and many other products. The first Heinz factory was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, about 20-25 miles from the suburb in which I live). There is even a museum in Pittsburgh, literally called the Heinz Museum, that is a very popular destination for families and for school field trips. The Heinz family became very wealthy and prestigious, forming the Heinz Foundation to benefit charities and venturing into politics. John Heinz was first a representative for Pennsylvania in the US House of Representatives and later a US senator in the US Senate. So, yeah, we do know well of Heinz Baked Beans.

The definition of comfort food is food from your childhood. So I think taste will always be subjective. I used to eat ketchup and corn chip sandwiches.

[@you_can_call_me_T]

I think the definition is a little broader than that. Comfort food is usually associated with either childhood or just home cooking that you associate with a feeling of well-being. Usually unhealthy and strictly indulgent. Like fried chicken, mashed potatoes, ice cream, chips, salty fries. Btw my brother and I used to eat ketchup on potato chips lol. And potato chips on our cheeseburgers.

Our canned beans have a different recipe- yours are lighter and more tomato based, while ours are thicker, with molasses and smoky pork flavor.

We put the butter on both sides of each bread slice and then cook in a frying pan. Sooooooo yummy.

Many years ago I played on a game site with a lot of British college kids. Someone was always making beans on toast for lunch or dinner. I decided to try it. I used ciabatta bread or roll and toasted it with a good sharp cheddar. I put the heated beans over it and crumbled American style crispy bacon on top. It makes a nice easy Sunday night dinner. I always make it when I have leftover southern style slaw. It goes well with it. I recently bought a jar of the Branston pickle relish. I'm still on the fence about it. I do think it is a nice alternative to US pickle relish. For once, the British version actually has a lot more flavor. I just haven't fallen in love with pickle relish on a cheese sandwich. It is rather weird. I gather from British mystery novels that it is or was a common pub sandwich back in the day.

I don't know about British style beans on toast, but I grew up on something similar in concept. My Mom would cook beans (various kinds at different times) from scratch. Which means starting with inexpensive dried beans. And they were delicious. I'm not sure what she did or did not put in them. I'm sure there was a recipe. But it was mainly, or maybe only, just the beans themselves. And we'd take just plain white bread (untoasted), and spread butter or margarine on it and pour the hot beans on it. Maybe mix in some fresh chopped onions to taste. And it was delicious. Of course, unlike in this video, it wouldn't have been all we'd be eating in the meal, just a part of the whole meal.

[@gwynn7679]

Do we have beans? Do we ever. I would guess that we actually probably supply a large portion of them to the rest of the world because beans are grown here in what is called the "breadbasket of the world." That's the mid-west or plains states. You will find many varieties of beans in American stores. Canned or bagged, and with many kinds of flavor combinations. One of our comfort foods is cornbread and beans. One of the ways to eat it is to put butter on the warm cornbread, then put the beans of your choice on top of them. Often, we will put some vinegar on that (or even pickle relish). It's delicious. But we will eat beans in a variety of ways. "Mexican food" has a lot of beans, usually refried so they have turned soft and creamy. Then refried beans are made into many different dishes, with many different combinations, often using peppers, salsa, onions, sour cream, and other combinations. Beans are sometimes even used as "filler" and "replacement" foods, such as in vegetarian burgers.

But as you can tell there, we've got quite the choice. And that's just one brand.

I usually spice them up with minced onion, brown sugar, ketchup or BBQ sauce, Tiger Sauce and even some bacon and then I heat it to bubbling.

In a population that's as food-deprived as the British were in, say, 1940 and early 1941 (and also in the first years after the war such as 1946/47), something like Marmite could be and probably was a valuable addition to the diet.

Marmite is British, Vegemite is Australian.

[@Dervraka]

@@marydavis5234 Ahh you are correct! I think it was actually Vegamite I tried (it was on a trip to Australia).

[@ryanje8147]

Is Marmite the same thing as Vegemite?

[@kelliehatch1712]

The guys from Jolly are British so I would think they know how to serve these foods properly so maybe you should tell your two countrymen they don't knòw what they're talking about and they're eating these things wrong.

[@TheDeadStretch]

(Before watching) I honestly think that wasn't the best representation. They just served them stuff on bread each time.

[@TheDeadStretch]

Yeah same thought after. They didn't really try "British Food."

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

I just have to ask this question to any Brit out there.... Why are your foods so weird like this? I mean, look at the comparisons to Biscuits and Gravy to Beans on Toast. They both look kinda disgusting, but B&G is clearly the better tasting one by a long shot. Peanut Butter and Jelly to Marmite. It's almost like y'all don't understand how to pair up food types to make a great tasting combo.

We always have brown sauce in the fridge, even though we're American. But I wouldn't put it on beans! Also, those 'beanz' look a bit odd...ours have more of a red color to them, probably more tomato in them, or if they're Boston baked beans, they're brown. I like Boston Brown Bread with baked beans. It's too sweet for some people, but I like it. No Marmite for me either!! 🙂

[@anthonymiele4320]

Cheese, bread, pickles...just missing the burger, ketchup, mustard, and onions. I see nothing wrong with this combo at all.

[@dayeti6794]

It’s the Branston’s Pickles that are vile. Regular dill pickles and cheese don’t have that strong awful taste.

Berlin?

[@RD9_Designs]

I bet the marmite burns the roof of your mouth because the toast scratches it up and then the salt gets into the scratches.... I've never eaten marmite, but toast always scratches up the roof of my mouth.

[@ClipsThatTakeUpStorageOnMyXbox]

Why is everything on sliced bread lmao

[@xxprettylittlethings]

marmite and vegemite are a huge joke in cartoons in the US. Every now and then you'll hear it mentioned and it's never in a favorable light

[@rebeccahanson6941]

I thought it was beans on toast? That just looked like beans on bread.

[@shalonsmith3653]

Ive done beans in toast it’s not bad but the food in the U.K is not that good outside of other cultural foods.

[@brandonaston301]

I like beans and I like toast. But I never desired to put them together. And honestly tomato based baked beans sound gross.

[@Dan-B]

As a Brit, I genuinely don’t understand the hype around beans on toast, it’s f*ckin gross 😆
