The sauce the beans are in is basically just ketchup. You’re using American spelling and pretending that you hate ketchup flavour. I don’t believe you.

    Ketchup and beans sounds legitimately awful though, like there are better struggle meals out there lol.

    It's not as sweet as ketchup, it's a bit runnier with a stronger tomato (not sugar sweet) flavour. It's balanced 50/50 savoury sweet:

    Tomato Sauce (51%) [Tomatoes (29%), Water, Sugar, Salt, Maize Thickener (1422), Food Acids (260, 330), Flavours], Navy Beans (49%). May Contain: Soy

    When on toast, you can load up the toast for the ratio you like. It's honestly fine.

    I'm not a fan of it on it's own, but if you add actual spices and herbs to it and some cheese then put it in the toaster oven/air fryer, then it's tolerable.

    I've only ever eaten them on their own if there's a little left in the tin

    I like making fun of the brits for anything, but you know what we don't make fun of enough? Canned spaghetti with that same sauce they put with baked beans. Now that is truly vile, and can't even be improved with what I mentioned.

    I literally don't think I've tasted ketchup since the day I went vegan which was 10 years ago

    And "actually it tastes like ketchup smuglord " is a hilarious response to being told it doesn't taste good, considering how ketchup is notoriously a thing little kids eat because they don't know what good food is

    Hexbear when italians dont like ketchup: boohoo

    Hexbear when British people like something that can kind of be compared to tasting like ketchup: boohoo

    Jesus Christ we have a thread about this weird gastro-nationalism that's prevalent among US leftists every few months. Its tiring.

    I don't buy your premise that anyone on hexbear has ever criticized anyone anywhere for not liking ketchup before this exact thread

    Good for you, and yet it still happened. Frequently.

    Im not going to go looking for old threads about people being mad that italians look at you funny if you use ketchup on your food, and you know that's a ridiculous request of you to make. You're just being weird because you've painted yourself into a corner.

    Ketchup is fine. Food snobbery is bourgeois cultural signaling.

    You're right, enjoying things is bourgeois decadence, we should all be eating unseasoned beans and rice for every meal, there is no such thing as flavor and if there was it would be a bad thing

    Seriously though I have eaten the heinz beans in tomato sauce, they're what carnists think tofu tastes like, it's literally the blandest thing I've ever experienced and I will judge you if you pretend that it isn't worse than real food

    I don't care what you like, I'm just explaining why people make fun of it, which is because it's extremely bland and it sucks

    You can like stuff that sucks, just don't be surprised when people online point out that it sucks

    Nah, you’re not allowed to say “That is what brits imagine counts as flavor” and then deny your love of ketchup. You are an American and you think ketchup is a vegetable and have it with everything. Also, everything you eat is burgers and hotdogs and processed cheese. I can’t believe you think that counts as food. Isn’t this hilarious. Aren’t we all having such fun together about this.

    All Americans know is eat hyperprocessed hot chip and rub the same storebought spice-mix on everything.

    I still remember when one of these threads had a good few comments upvoted with people shitting on the concept of saltning your food (because thats what the british do). None of these people can cook

    When I'm so definitely not owned that I have to go on a weird rant accusing someone of liking bad food in order to cover for the bad food that I like
