I've gotten away from weenies and beans for the last couple of weeks, but this is my current go-to brand for baked beans. They're more "brown sugary" that "tomatoey," and I like that. I get these at Safeway, not Trader Joe's I don't even know if baked beans are "a thing" around the world. Do Europeans, Asians, etc. eat them? Hot dogs and baked beans are among the foods I think of as "American." They're my favorite side dish with spare ribs, BBQ chicken, hot dogs, burgers, etc. Have you heard this song? bean beans the musical fruit/the more you eat the more you toot/the more you toot the better you feel/so eat your beans at every meal!

I do Bush's vegetarian baked beans. The British do "beans on toast".

I enjoy baked beans and the brand in your photo is my favorite. I enjoy putting baked beans on a hot dog to add additional flavor. It makes them so yummy!

@TitiaG Got it. I'm getting the impression that the UK is the only place in Europe where they're a part of the cuisine.

That is an interesting question. I buy bush beans of course and I usually get the original because that is whatever one in my house likes.

Baked beans are not part of Italian cuisine, I am not a big fan of beans, but I like the small Tuscan cannellini, simply boiled seasoned with extra virgin olive oil salt and pepper and served with canned tuna. I think that in the UK they eat baked beans.

@TheHorse French fries are more popular in France (of course) and Belgium than in Italy, we are not fun of "patate fritte" (French fries), we like more roasted potatoes, they are also a lot healthier.

I have not had that dish. Thanks for the info, Hopefully I'll get a response from the UK. Do people eat "French fries" (chips, in the UK) in Italy?

Bake beans are popular in Australia although Vince doesn't like them. I think he had them too often as a child. When we get together with a particular group of friends, one always has baked beans for breakfast and I, and others, share in them then.

It's not a part of our traditional food. I have never tried it. What I see in the picture is kidney beans. We do eat a lot of kidney beans

We like Bushs baked beans. We have made home made baked beans. They are a little high on the carbs for diabetic me, but I eat them. A former user here who was from England, I believe, introduced us to the idea of toast points and baked beans. I think she ate them for breakfast. We ate them as a light lunch.

The only baked beans I like are yellow wax beans mixed with bread crumbs and baked in a buttered dish... lots of butter.

I love baked beans and I ordered some cans from Aldi really nice big cans and the beans were delicious so when I order again I will get some more. I love them by themselves, with hot dogs, and I have topped a cheeseburger with the beans,

I used to really like B&M baked beans. But I haven't seen that brand around in awhile.
