Cold Baked Beans

[LeonBlank1995]

I ate some cold baked beans direct from the tin (Heinze of course). The act was done with relative politeness and not in public.

However, the person I was with virtually gagged and said it was the grossest thing they had ever seen. And continued to berate that baked beans should NEVER be eaten cold.

My question. Are cold baked beans totally acceptable?

[ToraToraTora]

quiet acceptable.

[bobbinwales]

I do it. Only a spoonful or two before I cook the rest

[Mamyalynne]

Yes.

[andy-hughes]

If you want to do it, and it doesn't frighten the horses, i can't see a problem.

If your friend reckons that seeing you eating cold baked beans is the 'grossest thing they have ever seen', they have led a seriously sheltered life, and should commence getting out more - tomorrow.

I did exactly the same thing yesterday. Cold baked beans .

[ToraToraTora]

if that's the grossest thing they've ever seen I'd say your mate has lead a very sheltered life. Used to eat all manner of stuff cold out of the tin in my mountaineering days.

Did you use a fork?

[ToraToraTora]

.....and you got the right beans too!

Eating anything direct from the tin is pretty gross, regardless of whether it is heated or not.

Seems like everyone is eating cold baked beans then ... ever likely to be blowing a gale out there.

I always eat baked beans cold. My wife thinks it’s gross.
Hot buttered toast, cold beans, folded into a sandwich. Yummy.

[ummmm]

I wouldn't do it but I don't find it gross.

[tiggerblue10]

Yes, and so is sweetcorn straight from the tin and drained with a fork. Well to me it is anyway :o)

[-SharonA-]

No!! I probably would gag as well.

If you've never eaten and enjoyed cold baked beans you've never been an adventurous Girl Guide or Boy Scout. It's the only way to really enjoy baked beans.

[ummmm]

I eat so slowly I'm used to eating cold food; just not out of a tin :-)

[gness]

Ummmm....if you were wandering in the wilds of Northants with the food and tin opener and the group with the plates and cutlery hadn't turned up you'd eat with your fingers out of the tin...eventually..... :-)

Next to my open can of sardines I always have an open can of baked beans, and I use the same fork for shoveling both entrees.

[tonyav]

Can't come any worse than these can it.

I can’t stand warm baked beans, but love them cold. In fact I’ve just finished off half a tin while standing at the open fridge door. Even more gross!
