Beans, Beans, The Musical Fruit

The lack of community breakfasts this past year means that many of us haven’t been getting our baked beans.

Now, I realize that not all fire departments serve beans with their breakfasts these days but that used to be my only source of baked beans.

If you’re not a Maritimer or especially a Newfoundlander you may be surprised at baked beans being served with breakfast, but it’s common here on the East Coast.

If you go to the UK beans are almost guaranteed to be part of the breakfast. I was reading one news story about a restaurant owner who complained that they got a one star review because the customer’s breakfast sandwich wasn’t served with a portion of beans, even though it wasn’t in the description.

When was the last time you had baked beans? And does anyone ever buy the canned beans in tomato sauce except by accident?
