Heinz Baked Beans Snap Pots - 4 Pack

Beans are not a side dish in Britain. They are infrastructure. They hold up the full English, rescue the jacket potato and turn a slice of toast into tea. Heinz is the name on them in most British cupboards, and has been for as long as anyone can remember.

People in Canada go looking for the British Heinz because the taste is a memory, not a product description. It is hard to explain to anyone who did not grow up with it, and it needs no explaining at all to anyone who did.

The pack is four single pots that snap apart, so you heat what you want and leave the rest in the cupboard for another day. Handy for a work lunch, a quick tea after a long shift, or a small person who wants beans and only beans. Store them in the cupboard as you would a tin.

Most people put them in the basket with the rest of the breakfast shelf: a bottle of brown sauce, a box of proper teabags, something for the toaster. Beans on toast is good. Beans on toast with a cup of tea is the afternoon sorted.
