Oh, I love baked beans too. I'm not sure they are beans, they don't seem to create the intestinal symptoms other beans give me, and by symptoms it's pretty much hurricanes and earthquakes, the sort can easily be misinterpreted as the End Times. Not only are they the essential ingredient in Cowboy1, what kind of full English would it be without beans and lashings of HP? I think my love for Cowboy, a sort of culinary Brokeback Mountain, hark back to being served beans with those little sausages in them as child. Always one of my favourite meals, but there was never enough sausage. I used to ration my sausages till the very end, always scared I'd deplete the meaty component too early. With cowboy you can cube an an entire catering-size can of industrially reformed processed ham product and add that.
1Cowboy saw me through university, basically take an industrial size can of beans, and chop up canned ham, spam, corned beef into the beans and warm through. Voilà et yee-haw, le Cowboy!
