Hob Nobs and ready meals

[Cougar377]

When I had to rethink my diet because of my health issues, I was also surprised to learn that baked beans can actually make up one of your 5 a day along with tomatoe soup, tinned tomatoes and few other things that I would never have guessed.

What about Fruit Gums then...?

The worst ready meals I’ve eaten came from Waitrose, the best are from M&S.

What about them?

Chewy bits of sugary rubber that taste like shit

I often have cold baked beans straight from the tin.

I occasionally have an all day breakfast in a café or pub but never have baked beans on it as they are always cold, I bloody hate cold baked beans so its easier than chucking them at whoever suppose to have warmed them up

Eat them at home a fair bit as I understand the principle of HOT food but cant abide those Heinz microwavable pots which are all sauce & no beans

Prefer Branston baked beans, Heinz are crap.

No they are beans honestly (but its debatable when you get to those microwave pots ) crap is what you should put out for cyclists

Baked beans, like many things, benefits from a dash of Worcestershire Sauce.

Prefer Henderson’s relish.

Lingham’s chilli sauce is much better. Quite a high sugar content though.

Chilli sauce is nothing like Henderson’s relish or Worcestershire sauce

All baked beans need is a bit of butter, a good grind of fresh black pepper and a gentle reduce.

And some additional Tomato ketchup and a dollop of marmite

Not for me, but if that's how you like them

And some additional Tomato ketchup and a dollop of marmite

I.e. Adding even more sugar and salt!!

Shortbread for me. We have a shop in Coleraine called Chill which does ready meals. I have eaten at least a dozen of their meals including their Indian meals which are supplied by one of the best Indian restaurants in NI. Best of all their meals are recommended by the local hospital dietician who says they are very low in salt and fat.
