It was yet again a little watery for me, but not the thinnest sauce I'd seen during the course of the taste test. I sampled tins from Heinz, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Co-op, Asda, Asda Just Essentials, Branston, HP, and Aldi - here's what I thought. Having been naïve with rival brands, I sheepishly tucked into Branston's version and was met with what I had been waiting for.

Heinz has insisted that its market share had been unaffected by the launch of Branston beans, and said that sales had only taken away from own label. We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented here and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product. Tasters said the texture of the Heinz sauce and beans were high points, but more than a third reported that the flavour was “too weak”. However, because products are regularly improved, the product information, ingredients, nutritional guides and dietary or allergy advice may occasionally change. Later this month, the beans will be reappearing on shelves with an improved recipe and reduced salt levels.At 45p per tin, Aldi is certainly maintaining its reputation for affordability when it comes to beans.

Quick disclaimer - I opted for small tins wherever possible, to avoid turning into a baked bean myself. We also offer retail jars of sweets and boxes of bars of chocolate including all the Great British chocolates found in the UK, Cadbury and Nestle. They didn't blow my mind and make me realise what I've been missing all these years, but the flavour was decent and the small tin would make for handy lunch.

Having purchased the pack of HP Baked Beans from Farm Foods and having thought I had got a bargain I cooked the beans following guidelines on the tin and put them on some nice buttered wholemeal toast. Recent years have seen baked bean pizzas, baked bean crisps, and the (albeit more niche) baked bean tequila shot - proving we'll incorporate beans into our diets by any means possible. Please always read the labels, warnings, and directions provided with the product before using or consuming a product. The HP beans had a distinctive tangy flavour which I quite enjoyed, thanks to the vinegar in the recipe.
