When you have been blog writing on here for 15 years or more. You can write about anything. Here's a subject close to my heart or belly even?😃
the 'proper' ones that are made in Wigan in Lancashire cost four Euros ninety nine for four.
I am something of a baked beans connoisseur about the haricot 🫘 beans covered in 🍅 sauce.
I have been in hotels in Portugal and Tenerife and heard ex pat's having breakfast conversations saying:
"But it's not like the bacon we have at home and they're not Heinz baked beans".
I may have uttered the words myself if the truth be known.
I extracted the following from a blog post I wrote about way back in April 2015:
We noticed this sign in an Algarve cafe window on Friday morning, the last day of our holiday:
Beaked Beans On Toast.
Perhaps Mr Crabtree the police man in 'Allo Allo' had retired to Portugal and opened a cafe?
"Good moaning."
What do you think cheap baked beans or the ' proper' ones?
I will reserve my verdict until I have read yours!
See you tomorrow!
Did you try the beaked beans? Lucky you escaping for a holiday....hope you had a nice time.
ReplyDeleteNo BG but it made us laugh. April is a good time to have a sun holiday. Most people wait until July and August when it gets too hot and busy. I was ready to come home after 3 days. But that's me. Always having itchy feet. I think it's with being a Sagittarius. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteA three day break sounds heaven, just enough time to relax and then come home
DeleteYes there is a lot to be said for being able to jump in the car or camper-van and come home or go somewhere else.
DeleteI'm a Saggi too and suffer with terrible itchy feet!
ReplyDeleteThe grass is always greener on the other side of the fence Deb. Us Saggi's have terrible itchy feet. Thanks!
DeleteI'd love to try some beaked beans as well! We had a stew once in Tunisia that turned out to be sparrow so that was beaked, it was horrible though and I couldn't eat it!
ReplyDeleteHi Kev. The Tapas in Spain had fish (4 dishes for 10 Euro) on the menu. So I opted for that good Spanish meal: Spaghetti Bolognese? Don't fancy sparrow stew!
DeleteOh yeah, glad you're back and had a good holiday!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's good to be back but it was good to get away for a few days. My potatoes and all the other vegetables and cattle are thriving. Thanks Kev.
DeleteSeems a long way to go for a full English! Including lots of English!
ReplyDeleteIt was the best meal I ate all week, Irene. They have full Irish breakfasts over here. But not for 4.75. I missed my Newcastle Brown too. It's much better than the Super Bock.
DeleteGlad you had a good break Dave, honestly the french policeman saying I was just pissing by the door, got me every time I was going to say it was my age, but it still makes me laugh ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Twiggy. It's nice here but it goes very cold at night. The Irish call it something like: Scariveen which means the wind of the cuckoo.
DeleteI have the same humour too. The television series lasted longer than the Second World War. Thanks!
