Baked beans is a dish consisting of beans baked (or, despite the name, usually stewed) in a sauce. Traditional cuisines of many regions claim such recipes as typical specialities, for example Most commercial tinned baked beans such as Heinz are made from haricot beans, also known as Boston Beans or Navy Beans, a variety of Phaseolus vulgaris, and sold in a sauce. In the United Kingdom, tomato sauce is most commonly used. A similar dish is Pork and Beans. The popularity of baked beans may be due to the fact they are cheap to make and buy. British supermarkets may sell store brand baked beans for less than twenty pence a tinned can[1] although some premium organic brands may be as expensive as £1.50.[2] Baked beans are a classic example of a "loss leader", a product sold by supermarkets for an abnormally low price, often less than cost. This is done because some products are thought by marketeers to be widely used as benchmarks by consumers to judge how cheap a supermarket is, or simply to boost the sales of complementary products. Another example of a typical loss leader is white sliced bread. Baked beans have recently begun appearing in conjunction with other foods, such as a filler inside sausages, as a sidedish with bacon, or as a pizza topping.

Doesn’t everyone at some point in their life dream of being a cowboy? Seeing someone wearing Justin Roper Boots recently reminded me of my little rodeo fantasy.

I know I’m not alone in this little dream. Too bad I’m really more of a city slicker in real life, and I tend to watch more Westerns than star in them.
At least I now have my own Justin Roper Boo... (read more)
