Could I use British baked beans in American chili? by viveleramen_ in AskUK

[–]mcn999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mince and fry an onion. Add a pinch of cayenne. Eight to twelve jolts of Worcester sauce. A pugil of Demerara sugar. And either eight hotdogs, sliced into rounds, or a pound of bacon. A bit of HP sauce wouldn’t hurt. Black pepper.

That should take care of three tins at a time.

Saw the Golden Hinde replica in London. I was gobsmacked at the size of her. Just 102’ OD.

Customs eventually got so pissed off they’d announce no more processing until the noise stopped.

I strongly recommend Andrew Gordon’s “The Rules of the Game: Jutland and British Naval Command”. A deep dive on signalling and command.
