My American eyes were opened to the savory delights I'd been missing once I tried a proper full breakfast. Now whenever I make bacon and eggs, I'll at least throw together a can of beans, a little can of tomato sauce, some Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Lio 5y agoMy pro tip would be to look for Heinz Five Beans aka "adult" baked beans. The sauce is more savoury, less sweet than standard and there are, er, 5 types of beans. IMHO a much better experience overall than your common or garden backed bean, although others might disagree[1]. Also don't forget black pudding. 1. ...but they are wrong!
- grkvlt 5y ago100% agree; and as an alternative, for only GBP 0.45 you can get the Sainsburys own-brand equivalent which is just as good - and then go one better with their Hot and Spicy [0] variant, which is my suggested replacement for anything baked-bean related... 0. https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/sainsburys-five-beans-in-hot---spicy-tomato-sauce-400g https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/sainsburys-five-...
- drcongo 5y agoAmerican breakfasts are easily second place in the World Breakfast Cup though. Except for the bacon, you guys need to work on your bacon.
- sanedigital 5y agoNo way, American bacon is our gift to the world. The European stuff doesn’t even come close.
- grkvlt 5y agoBut even with the same cut of meat, fat cointent, etc. the USA style of cooking burns it to a crisp, which ruins the taste of good bacon...
- sanedigital 5y agoI mean, that's on you. American bacon is meant to be flash-fried at high temperatures. Gets it nice and crispy without burning.
