I don't think I have ever seen home-made beans in Australia, even at fancy cafes. Beans on a breakfast menu means Heinz, or Wattie's if you're in New Zealand.

I do recall my shock at visiting the staff canteen of a large UK corporation and finding out that the most popular menu item by far for lunch was chips (fries) and beans.

I don't think you'd ever see beans on a breakfast menu in the US unless it was aimed at working-class Mexican/Central American/Caribbean immigrants. Reminds me of my time in rural Costa Rica and the roadside stands that served a hearty breakfast to the farm workers. And I don't think you'd ever get something to taste that good without cooking it from scratch.
- strken 2y agoA lot of places do their own beans now, at least in Melbourne. It definitely does not mean Heinz everywhere in the country.
