Yep, they are by far the best beans out there.

I'm doing a food shop later, I always pick up a couple of tins, I'll report back.

There are plenty in Lidl (Newgate brand - they are excellent and far better than Heinz). Must be an Aldi-specific supply problem.

Anyone calling Lidl and Aldi 'council' as some kind of insult is talking out of their trumpet. A lot of their products (particularly deli stuff in Lidl) is so much better than Waitrose, Sainsbury's etc at a fraction of the price. There's one born every minute...

Dunno about beans but Campbells Condensed Soup has been out of stock everywhere for months. Only just come back into circulation.

Not around here. Although I rarely eat them, much prefer mixed beans (Heinz Five Beanz) or macaroni cheese.

FFS. Every student knows that you can 'add stuff' to baked beans to make numerous delicious variations.

Chinese beans, Indian beans, Mexican beans, Italian beans, Provençal beans, Caribbean beans, cheesy beans...

I've tried the flavoured heinz beans. They are fine. The problem is they are wildly expensive for what they are.

Something like this though seems like an utter joke , what's so hard about mixing some grated cheese into your beans? (even the dirt cheap stuff is fine)

+1

They are really nice. The perfect bean to sauce ratio too.

Aldi used to do 2 different types the bramwells ones then something something "premium".

My god they were good.

Seems to me they merged the two now (this happened maybe 2 years ago) hence the "bramwells premium"
