Talk:English breakfast

Not '"beans", surely, but rather the unpalatable tinned concoction known as "baked beans" (Navy beans?). Are they really baked? Or just boiled in sauce? Aleta Curry 19:37, 29 July 2007 (CDT)

Almost certainly they are slowly baked in the sauce. At least Boston baked beans are, and I've looked at some Brit. recipes, and they seem more or less the same except for the seasonings. "Baking" them in the sauce is essentially the same as "boiling" them in the sauce, except they're simmering slowly instead of boiling rapidly. Hayford Peirce 20:45, 29 July 2007 (CDT)
