simple things
 

as I have put on my face book.. due to credit crunch/ recession I am cutting back , and had beans on toast for my lunch.

something in "better" times I would never really consider , it would not be a thought- I would have gravitated to steak... always..

however- wowwww I forgot how nice beans on toast is.. yum


So- what do you enjoy now then.. that maybe you didnt used to have or do..

a walk to work?
a picnic?
sitting in the garden

Jam sandwiches.

Although a few years ago when I used to take a packed lunch to work, my wife wouldn't let me have jam sandwiches. She wanted me to have "real" sandwiches. :confused:

Re: simple things
 

Funnily enough, i have only recently started eating beans again but not for credit crunch reasons.
I stopped eating them because i have a mild dose of IBS and at the time they seem to trigger me off, but ate some recently and i was fine so have them occasionally now and they are ace.

Baked beans... nasty.

They're like dried moths in orange slime.

Re: simple things
 

best description of a bean ever :D

Re: simple things
 

Make your own then...gorgeous, but I personally love the common old tinned dried moths in orange slime;-)

Re: simple things
 

Now there's something we can disagree on... Personally, I just don't like beans. Hateful things.

I'm pretty open minded when it comes to food, and there's very few things I won't eat or cook, but beans just aren't right.

Mmmmmmm, Beans on toast, YUM!

I also like waffles, topped with cheese and then really hot baked beans to melt the cheese......Nomnomnomnomnom.

Tonight made risotto with mushrooms, a bit of stilton, nutmeg and parsley....about 70pence per serving and really delicious! You don't have to spend lots of money to have good food! The last recipe I put on here feeds 4 with a big hunk of beef and that's only £2.50 per serving.

Re: simple things
 

You wouldn't like refried beans then.......yum yum yum!!! Baked beans give you wind......refired beans and you're repeating a scene from Blazing Saddles...lol:shaking2:

Re: simple things
 

Me too, nothing to do with the credit crunch, just fancied it. Cowboy's breakfast - Beans on toast with a fried egg and grated cheese on top. Yum.

Re: simple things
 

I can't eat beans anymore. :(
They cause me to have kidney stones. :mad:


I do miss them though. :(

Re: simple things
 

Beans on toast or a jacket potato with grated cheese on top.... lovely :D

Re: simple things
 

Toast with Branston pickle, then covered with cheese and back under the grill.

Served with baked beans, and scrambled egg with black pepper.

Any wonder my chlorestorol is over 5, and i weigh in at a large shade over 14st.

Re: simple things
 

boiled egg and toast soldiers. couldnt eat egg when I was pregnant, cant get enough of them now, nice and runny yolk

Re: simple things
 

Have to be Heinz beans. Nothing else compares. Eat beans on toast quite a bit. There are several different ways to eat beans on toast so never get bored of it. Nice quick and healthy food. Not so sure about cheap though. Heinz beans are way more expensive than some you can get. But you sure can taste the difference.

Re: simple things
 

I meant different foods, sauces and such to compliment the beans.

Re: simple things

Re: simple things
 

I adore beans on toast with a mug of tea while watching some motorcycle racing :D Add some grated cheddar cheese and some white pepper, that there is a meal fit for a king :king:

I also enjoy cheese on toast, with slices of tomato, yessss food win!

Re: simple things
 

mmmmm beans on toast. I will not be home until at least 10 tonight but I now know what I will be having.

This is my recipe to the perfect B on T

Cook beans on low heat for 20 mins stirring so they do not stick to the pan but do boil off the majority of the liquid.

Leave for 5 minutes

Add Vindaloo curry powder, a good dollop of brown sauce and Worcestershire sauce.

Stir in well and reheat for 10min

Drop the whole lot on 1 slice of toast and have another on the side and add grated cheese

Re: simple things
 

Classic scene and a great pun to go with it :lol:

Beans on toast is the food of champions. Used to swear by Heinz but now think that HP are better :thumbsup:

Re: simple things
 

Haha, at last someone picked up on it!

Re: simple things
 

Now you really can’t beat a good cup of tea. Simple.

Banana split though is another delicious pleasure, on the bbq!! Make cuts in the banana pop in your chocolate buttons, wrap in tin foil, put on bbq. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Re: simple things
 

Shall I pick up another bag of coal then? ;)

Re: simple things
 

you forgot the generous amount of dark rum to be added!

B on T with grated cheese melted on top!
tho i'm addicted to spag hoops and toast at the moment - with a large dollop of brown sauce and worcestershire sauce

Re: simple things
 

bleurgh. I never liked beans, and then when I was at primary school I was given them for lunch and refused to eat them. The staff helpfully held me down and force fed me, and I violently sicked it all up again (hopefully all over the 'nice' inner lady - I can't remember, but I really hope so).

Even the sight of beans still makes me heave over thirty years on. :sick:

simple tea and toast always hits the spot though.

Heinz spaghetti on toast...

Re: simple things
 

must admit - can't beat a cup of tea made Guy Martin style!
