Spotted today in Iceland.

Is this an insult to cuisine or a hidden gem of fusion food?

_

Edit: For non-UK folks, Iceland is a supermarket in the UK which specialises in frozen food. I didn't spot this in the country of Iceland!

Everything is permitted on a pizza. Not even bri'ish but work at a fancy pizza place and have done Beans on Toast pizza and it went over pretty well. White beans, tomato sauce, parm, basil, sprinkled with oregano and drizzled with a very oiled down to make it super super mild and spiced molasses. It went over big even though tbh we were having a contest to see where we'd rotate who make up.the special and the person who tells them what different meal to make a pizza out of. Sometimes it was a goofy challenge other times it turned out to just be a good idea, falafel thin crust pizza slaps, hummus base, falafel balls or crumble, roasted red pepper and pickled red onion, spoon on tabouli after the oven, mind blowing food. We also did a Thai style green curry one that was also really amazing. Anything that has a sauce and a carb can become a good pizza if you put your mind to it and have an industrial kitchen at your disposal. Ooh! This winter I did a garlic oil base, boccocini chunks, this super cinnamon nutmegged date/fig jam I made, roasted garlic and arugula post oven, it tasted like visting grandma for Christmas.

I would sneer at yall for [British food joke] but Heinz is an American company so we really share the blame here

Also, for those not in the know, Iceland (the chain) has been suing like every food company in Iceland (the country) to keep the word “Iceland from being used on their packaging lol

Heinz Baked Beans are some of the worst canned beans on the market. I'm all for beans and toast, but Heinz? Come on Britain, you can do better.

Slowly baked beans made with real bacon, molasses, onion, vegetable broth, and tomato paste and then slow baked at 250F/125C for 6 or so hours is the food of the gods. And will elevate Beans and Toast - particularly if you pair it with homemade bread.

look at this guy with his molasses and freedom units and the funds to leave the oven on for 6 hours!! average waitrose goer

While Heinz aren't the best, American baked beans are not the same as British baked beans by a long way, so you're probably not actually comparing it to what is sold in the UK as Heinz baked beans.

They used to do beans and sausage Crispy Pancakes.

The world got a little bit darker the day they stopped.

Shit, I need that.

I don't think they've gone far enough. Replace the dough with more beans, you cowards.

Do you have to boil the pizza as well?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Of course. How else would you warm it up?

Is it bad that I kind of want to try it?

I'm not British, so I guess I can't.

The real reason the Empire ended.

And Europeans say American food is insane.

Since when have the Heinz beans been spelt with a z?? But also this is horrifying and unnerving.

And they can't even blame the Brexit for this...
