That’s what I was sent out to get....
-
Have you bought a house? Or maybe a casa?
-
I was sent out to buy milk.
I bought milk. I'm not falling for that one again.
-
Shouldn't that be 'a can of lovely beans'?
-
I was sent out to buy a lemon.
There are more ways than one to buy a lemon.
-

I discovered it is close, but not that!
-
You wanted a can of leany beans. A can of lonely is stuffed past a tube.
-
Fray Bentos beans?
-
I forgot the bacon.
-
You know what beanz meanz...?
-
Has beans ;D
-
Will Travel (whoever he was).
-
I had to get a pint o beans!
-
I wandered lonely as a bean
That floats on methane's foggy screen
When all at once I saw a breakfast,
A toast, a sausage, a golden egg;
I masticated and chomped these rare delights
A welcome end for winter's nights
-
Beans are not a breakfast food.
-
Argh. The beans are touching the egg.
*shudder*

In a cafe once I was told I was strange when I asked for Beans near toast..... Beans on toast is just horrid!

Try telling that to the English people.

The English people, they are just crazy.
Beans for brexit.
Hahaha (etc).

IMO beans on toast are the *only* acceptable use of a tin of baked beans in 'tomato' sauce.

On my Metallurgy BA we were taught the lurid sauce was mostly about hiding the metal oxides (can't remember if it was beens or tuna where the welding process for making the seam destroys the protective plastic coating on the inside of the tin, tuna probably).
Wash off the sauce and you've a perfectly serviceable tin of budget haricots for chill or stews etc. :thumbsup:
... or play them at their own game and dirty up the sauce with Worcestershire, chutney, pepper, mushroom additions etc etc.

How about toast on beans?
-
Beanz are also good on baked potatoes. But they are one of the few good uses for toast.
-
Toast and potato are both excellent blotters of wet things on plates that would otherwise escape the fork.
They form part of my neat eating strategy. It's a challenge to sit a long way from a table in a wheelchair that won't fit underneath and have limited use of my right hand.
I mostly DON'T make a mess.

Today I learnt about (but haven't eaten) injera. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injera) It's a sort of sourdough chapatti, at least in the way it functions: to soak up and pick up other food. It also serves as a plate. Don't know if things like that are an aid to "neat eating"?
-
Indian folk can eat neatly with one hand and no cutlery. I certainly can't manage rice & sauce the way they do...

I was in Ethiopia last year, it's standard to pile a couple of rolled injera on your plate, from which you tear off random pieces to scoop up your food (usually a variety of stews, meat-free during fasting). I find them a bit of an acquired taste, they have a bit more of a lactic sourness that you might expect.
The honey wine (tej) can be quite potent.

Looks texture-wise not unlike a Staffordshire oatcake.
-
It's like a thin crumpet. It's more dosa than chappati though, they pour out the liquid dough onto the hotplate. Proper injera is made with teff (cheaper stuff can be made with barley or sorghum).
-
In Dubai last November I was educated on the ways of eating wet foods with nothing but a chapatti in a local Indian café of the type only frequented by migrant workers. I kind of managed it but it was greatly to the amusement of the locals, the restaurant owner and my colleague who was trying to educate me.
I ate it all - despite the searing chilli heat
That's not much to do with beans though. They are lovely and I'm a heathen because I serve them with battered cod and chips.

It reminds me, in looks, of ragi dosa, which – probably coincidentally (is teff a sort of millet?) – is made from a type of millet that apparently originated in Ethiopia (but has been grown in India for about 3,000 years too).
-
I think teff is fairly unique to the region, but it's a grain so functions in much the same way. It has an earthier texture. It used to be illegal to export teff from Ethiopia, but I think that has changed. It's also cultivated in other places now to cater for the needs of Ethiopian/Somalian diaspora. I first had Ethiopian food in Washington DC, where it is pretty common.
-
Maybe I shall check the Somalian shops on Stapleton Road for teff!

This (https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/gb/groceries/napolina-cannellini-beans-400g) is what I should have bought.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave some time ago. Pay attention at the back.
