Can a British person here explain what is up with you guys and baked beans? We have them in the US, but nobody likes them. They’re used as filler for one of the small compartments in the styrofoam to-go boxes when we have grilled chicken events, along with slaw and a shitty roll. We never eat beans for breakfast.
Why would you even post this? It's like posting that you found money on the ground, you're just going to get flooded with responses by folks claiming it's theirs
Might've been mine. I set mine down to take a call and then walked off, didn't remember until I was halfway to Breighdenleighburyham. If there are 113 beans in there, it's mine, but you are more than welcome to help yourself to a few of the beans.

A 1927 Heinz marketing campaign for "beans on toast" helped establish them as a breakfast food". It's just taken for granted now.

I know it's just because similar culture and what not between you guys and the Europe.
But I'm here reading this and like "No one here also eats you guys American (or the Brits) consume , we eat rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner"
But, I agree beans are weird. Unless it's cashew, I never seen anyone eat beans around my vicinity.

The beans we are talking about are a specific dish called “baked beans”, which are canned white beans in a sweet tomato sauce.

Ants: "Oh wow, you found our beans. Thank you so much! We'll just be on our way...with our beans."

I did lose an open tupperware of beans, but that doesn't look like it.

Full of beans?
The tupperware is half empty.
