Is it a particularly British thing, having beans on toast? I love this dish, you can have it anytime, is easy to prepare, cheap, and best of all, has little washing up. While it is straight forward to make, I believe that what makes a great beans on toast is to slather on the butter and deposit the beans on top. As a special treat I sometimes crown it all with a single, tinned, tomato. The final touch is plenty of pepper, then serve. Simple treats are the best! From this YouTube video, I gather it is a bit of a novelty in the US, at least. Maybe I should put up a video on how to make the ideal beans on toast.

I have not tried baked beans on toast. I will as I still have Heinz baked beans in the pantry. Thanks for the idea.

I would never have guessed that this wasn't well-known in America. They are always talking about beans but I guess it's some other sort of beans. When we get together with our friends and have breakfast together, one guy always brings tinned baked beans. Vince doesn't like them - had them too often as a kid I think - but the rest of us have them on toast.

@Ronrybs In photos they mostly seem to be dark. In all the old cowboy movies and books they just about lived on baked beans - or so it seemed.

From the little I have gathered in the US beans are added to some meals and at BBQs

Yes, it's particularly a British thing just like a stir fry onion dish is a Polish thing. I like the 'slather the butter' on the toast. Sounds tasty.

@Ronrybs Yup. Will buy Heinz Beanz and Queensland Butter on grocery day. Must the beans be heated before pouring on the toast?

If you going to do it, you may as well slather!

Interesting, wonder if it is because of a difference in the production of the beans or the bread?

@RebeccasFarm It has dawned on me that on my visits to the US I never tried beans, but did have toast and that seemed alright

I've never heard of or tried that combination but I do like both. Maybe I'll give it a try next time I have beans

I studied abroad in England for a year but couldn't bring myself to try beans on toast. Also skipped Vegemite/Marmite.

You can't help but admire a meal with limited prep and so little washing up!
