Granted I've never read the actual heating instructions on a "regular" can of beans, but I was a bit intimidated by the threat, "Do not boil or overcook as this will impair the flavour". As a whole, us canned-good consumers aren't notoriously talented chefs, so how can we be trusted with such delicate preparation?
the mere 7 oz. of beans barely covered the bottom of my smallest pot |
The beans are tasty, but a bit too exotic to accompany a tofu pup with mustard and sauerkraut. With ingredients including navy beans, raisins, apples, and mango chutney, perhaps they'd be better enjoyed alone?
Good, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to buy them again.
They look like regular beans, what didn't you like about them?
ReplyDeleteThe beans were fine, just not "regular". Although they look similar, they certainly didn't taste like generic, American, baked beans and therefore didn't make an appropriate accompaniment to franks.
ReplyDeleteAnd although they were somewhat exotic, they didn't blow me away to the point that I would have to buy them again: especially since I can't come up with anything suitable to pair them with.
