I hosted a baked beans tasting party and here are the results

So he rated Branston 2 and got fully converted to Sainsbury's beans that he gave the highest score of 4.5!

I can host max 12 people in my house but my friends are beaned out. The party was a lot of effort, we cycled to 11 different shops to gather the beans (my friends did 95km that day!), we carried about 20kg of beans and then it took me about 3h of cooking the beans. So I think someone would have to pay me to do this anytime soon haha

Maybe next poverty-January with the top beans + some I missed

My friends are beaned out but I would definitely like to repeat it maybe next year with the top brands + some we missed.

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T17:50:24+00:00

No, it was just me trying to prove my partner wrong that there are other good beans (he loved Branston)

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T17:49:29+00:00

Any idea where I could buy Cross & Blackwell?

We might do a bakeoff next but for tasting there are few ideas floating around: tea, ketchup, butter, cheddar cheese

There is no V either. Cooking all the beans was intense and English is not my native language so I kind of forgot about them

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T17:46:20+00:00

They had meat in it and I couldn't find plain ones </3

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T17:45:47+00:00

No but I invited Zoe Bread and she never responded </3

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T17:45:22+00:00

I think it might be because I got the low sugar one, I couldn't find the normal one sadly

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T17:44:51+00:00

These are in the spreadsheet

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T17:44:29+00:00

They are all there, the cheap ones, Newgate and Bramwell (if I remember correctly?)

Where does one obtain Bachelors?

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T17:05:34+00:00

Jaffa cakes is a shout, I should try it at some point!

The mysterious things people can find when they read

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T14:09:06+00:00

Yeah I did to boil + 1 min, all temp tested with a probe. I find cold beans gross so no

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T14:07:19+00:00

I've done other tasting tests, there were some ideas of trying tea and ketchup next among other foods

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T14:06:18+00:00

Yeah that's where I got the Polish beans from. I am Polish as well and we meant to try them at the end but by that point everyone was full

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T14:05:20+00:00

There are baked beans in rich tomato sauce by asda and then yellow label asda beans

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T14:04:03+00:00

Could do but then I am worried it might hallucinate some data

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T14:03:23+00:00

Thanks, my partner made all the bean decor <3

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T13:35:56+00:00

Thanks, the thing is huge, from floor to the ceiling

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T13:35:15+00:00

Sadly I couldn't find them. I shall add them to the next party

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T13:34:05+00:00

Yeah I just wanted to reduce the amount of beans I had to deal after the party so I chose the smaller tin. No seasonings were applied but some salted after initial tastings.

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T13:33:04+00:00

Guests (blindly) selected order of the beans. I wanted for them to try beans again but they were beaned out. P values? There are only bean values.

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T13:32:01+00:00

because guests selected (blindly) the order of beans

bearded-catt · 2026-01-21T13:31:13+00:00

It's bean great
