The sauce from baked beans.
Discussion
Now, I like baked beans a lot but on Sunday morning eating a fry up I realised there wasnt enough sauce left to dip all my toast and hash browns in. So I emailed Heinz to ask if they'd consider selling the sauce in a bottle so I can have as much as I like 
Simple answer was a no

Dear Mr Baker
Thank you for your idea, you may be interested to know that we sometimes receive letters from other consumers who only like the sauce used in Heinz Baked Beans or Spaghetti!
As our factories can produce millions of cans on any one day, optimising full manufacturing and capacity capabilities, we can only provide products that would have a wide consumer appeal. Needless to say, Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce, is one of the products enjoyed by many adults and children alike.
Therefore, from a production, manufacturing and marketing point of view, to have only the sauce in a can would not be a viable product. I hope you continue to enjoy Heinz products and thank you for taking the time to contact us.
Yours sincerely

When you open the tin just open it a crack to start with and pour off some of the excess sauce into a little container. Then heat the beans and add the excess to the plate when you serve up and hopefully there should be some left.
This is based on me heating beans up too much and burning off a lot of the sauce, don't know if you do the same.

... and cans of beans are so cheap that that would still probably cost less than if the sauce came on its own.On a similar related note. What is it with upmarket hotels and their reluctance to supply baked beans with a bespoke cooked breakfast? Are beans considered 'chavvy' to the upper echelons of society?
For me a good portion of well cooked beans is essential to enjoying a nice cooked breakfast.

Find somebody who likes the beans but not the sauce.
If you find enough people in each camp, then buy a warehouse-full of Heinz beans, open them, sieve beans from juice, repack and sell on

It's only image. Call them 'Organic Kenyan Haricot Beans in Vine-Ripened Jus' and sell 'em at £5 a tin...Edited by Simpo Two on Tuesday 7th September 15:20
Is the fry-up on a Sunday just for you or all the family? If you're making it for others too, you should take the beans out of the pot with a holey spoon (or whatever they're called) and serve everyone else 1st. Voila, a serving left for yourself with most of the juice
You'd be surprised how many folk wouldn't notice you'd hogged all the sauce...

Nope, I was in Whetherspoon with my mates which pretty much rules out any home remedies.You'd be surprised how many folk wouldn't notice you'd hogged all the sauce...
ETA: Which is the major dilemma here. You can tell I'm a student and it's the summer just from this thread
