Haven’t been much of a cook in a while, but for some reason the part of my brain that recalls these things really wants me to suggest using a pressure cooker for beans. I honestly don’t know if that’s a good idea. I apologize for this information.
Definitely pressure cookers are great for just getting them cooked from dried. I do it with black beans and it takes about 40 min. It is a huge time saver vs the old way. I wouldn’t do that here though because there is a browning of the top involved and time spent simmering in the sauce that you need and you won’t get that with a pressure cooker.
Maybe if you’ve only had Mexican food made in Britain? Baked beans are good but relatively one dimensional. In Mexico, beans, rice, and corn are the staples of most meals. They’re eating them at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Children have mashed beans and rice as their first solid food.
Do you think British people eat baked beans with every meal? They do in Mexico. They obviously make them in better and more varied ways.
They’re prepared differently. Don’t usually see baked beans of any kind in Mexican cuisine, just like you don’t see a lot of refried beans in British cuisine.
Having lived in the UK and near the US southern border, they’re both great. Charro and frijoles are sublime, and Heinz baked beans are a superb side dish for potato or meat.
I still can’t enjoy sweet BBQ beans though, Bush’s just tastes like corn syrup with fiber blobs 🤮
As a Vermonter that’s been told that we have a lot of British influences I’m surprised beens are not common in our diet. Like the only times I’ve ever had the chance to eat beens is when their mashed up for the 2 times I’ve had tacos. Tbh I didn’t even know the Brits even had beens. Granted I’m presuming they are common over there due to the context of this meme.
