They should lock the whole country up for the baked beans pizza

Heinz is a US brand. You can blame them.

I'd like to try it though. Looks... interesting.

I prefer to get a normal pizza and put my own baked beans with it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It's great that you acknowledge that beans on a pizza is in fact not normal

I guess this is what the US thinks the UK likes, and the UK likes it enough for Heinz to keep manufacturing it and selling it in their country 😂

What's the fried noodle looking thing on the left?

Turkey twizzler. There's a whole Janie Oliver backstory...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

From Turkey or is it at least made of actual Turkey?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Lab analysis inconclusive. But either way they're great.

Low quality turkey (animal) meat, mashed up and mixed with rusk, water, other low quality "meats" (offal, ears, pig trotters, bumholes etc) and an array of flavourings and sweeteners and reconstituted into a helical shape and coated with breadcrumbs and oven baked.

Basically the same as any other easily affordable breaded, reconstituted meat product, except it's in a helix instead of a sausage or burger pattie shape.

I've never had one, but they're probably delicious.

Jamie Oliver

Say no more. I already know it's inedible.

Hold on Uncle Rodger... He tried to get them banned, therefore logic dictates that they're actually pretty good!

Hey we also have Bärchenwurst in Germany

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wouldn't surprise me if that were actually German.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Germans are the Sausage Masters. There's just no way around it.

Excuse me but that isn't an official, original "Colin the Caterpillar" cake from Marks & Spencer, but an inferior and entirely unauthorised " Curly the Caterpillar" clone from Tesco.

As a proponent of fine British cuisine I take offence to this dire misrepresentation.

Oh god you're right. I'm sorry I was blinded by the glory of the bean pizza and didn't notice

Heinz baked bean pizza sounds kind of amazing... I'm guessing that ones not available outside the UK though lol maybe I can make it myself at home

No no, savage is eating meat straight off the bone.

This is refined... One might even say "Ultra Refined".
