According to the latest research, we should all be eating more baked beans, because they can help ward off cancer. Might not help getting girl-friends, though

I prefer HP beans and am eating lots of them during my fitness regime. I'm also providing power for the whole of Mansfield as a by-product

HP for me too. I like to add a knob of butter to my beans, makes them really yummy. I also like a tin of beans mixed with a tin of corned beef.

The fact they're loaded with salt and sugar makes them extra healthy too

Heinze - will eat any variety put in front of me if eating out/somewhere else but only Heinze through choice.

As for putting the girls off, just feed them beans too and you can blame her

You'd probably enjoy "Boston Baked Beans", a browner sharper version with mollases, sugar/treacle, onions, not necessarily with tomato, possibly bacon/pork (or not) - loads of brands in the States, may be in supermarkets here, various recipes online.

So that's where the 'smelly' comes from

As for Heinz - It's all a con. HP always come first in the taste tests

It's gotta be Heinz cooked on the hob with a knob of butter and a decent splash of vinegar, creamy and tasty
