I wanna know if you are from the UK do you really eat beans for breakfast?

Crumpets* and jam* People have baked beans on toast or with an English fry up mainly for breakfast

Baked beans on toast can be eaten for any meal

I prefer beans for lunch personally but yes we do. On the side of a full English breakfast absolutely.

@Nichola I've never heard it called jam, always jelly. Totally butchered that. 😅

@Charlotte what is English breakfast?

@Janni ❤️ sausage, bacon, egg, beans, toast and hash browns maybe black pudding.

@Kirstie and if you're really going for it, mushrooms and plum tomatoes

@Rachel ooo yes forgot about those lol x

@Janni ❤️ we have jam, marmalade and compote lol If you’re going to try something English involving beans I’d recommend a jacket potato with beans and melted cheese on top! Great for lunch Or a full English 🤩

@Janni ❤️ as @Kirstie says! Delicious.

Generally it’s toast with jam or marmite or cereal like weetabix or shreddies. We will have a cooked breakfast with bacon, sausage, beans, eggs, mushrooms and toast but not as an every day thing as that’s just a heart attack waiting to happen! I’m sure Americans don’t eat pancakes every day either…

I mostly put beans with our evening meal but yes you'd have them on a full English breakfast

We love beans on toast for breakfast in our household!

@Karen i do not eat pancakes everyday. I think it's more common I'd have eggs and toast. Or overnight oats for breakfast. Special occasion pancakes, French toast. But some do have cereal every morning.

What's your go-to dinner??

Be aware that baked/tinned beans are very different in the US so I think this is where some confusion comes from. If you want to try it you need heinz beans from the international part of the store, not the brown sugar stuff you have in the US. Beans are just so easy to put with things. Today I had scampi bites and chunky chips (fries) for dinner and beans thrown on meant I could soak up the 'bean juice' with the chips. They're so versatile - on toast or with a fry up for breakfast, brunch or even lunch, on a baked potato with lots of cheese, with almost any combination of beige freezer food 😋

@Janni ❤️ in our house tomato based pasta with southern fried chicken goujons sliced and mixed in. Cheese on top. Sometimes garlic bread on the side.

I would 100% eat beans for breakfast with a fry up, however most people don’t have a fry up every morning. I feel like realistically most people eat toast, crumpets, bagels, cereal, eggs, porridge on a daily basis. I’d have beans for lunch and dinner too!

@Carys Okay I was wondering if it was the same flavor because here we have all different flavored beans. Some with bacon in it and maple syrup or spicy etc.

Also in a Scottish breakfast too, links sausage, Lorne sausage, bacon, haggis, black pudding, potato scone, mushrooms and beans.. beans can be eaten any time of day though. My husband loves beans on toast with cheese melted on top.

@Janni ❤️ spaghetti bolognese or chilli. Weekly staples in our house.

@𝔾𝕚𝕤𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖 we don’t put pepper on fries generally.. salt and vinegar, lots of people have ketchup but we also like mayonnaise

@Kim what is black pudding? Like what is it made of?

Im canadian but love beans with breakfast. I loved traveling in london and going out for breakfast as it was the norm there! Wish we did that here!

@𝔾𝕚𝕤𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖 always with ketchup (for me 😂)

@Janni ❤️ https://www.macsween.co.uk/products/delicious-every-day-blackpudding/ It also contains blood

@𝔾𝕚𝕤𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖 because they’ll be asking if you’d like condiments? There’s a lady above who has already says she likes ketchup 😂 I’m not here to fight with you!

@Kim oh its pork and oats!!! Idk why i was thinking pudding. Very different here.

@𝔾𝕚𝕤𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖 everyone I know has ketchup with fries (think it’s the most popular sauce we have with fries) but I’m further south of UK. Maybe in other parts of the UK it’s not as popular as they tend to have cheese and gravy 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Lauren im north and loads of people here have them with ketchup. I am partial to cheese and gravy too though 🤤

My fiancé went to the UK he said all they ate were beans 🤣 he said the food there was horrible but Italy has amazing food!

@Natalie I’m just confused someone can make a sweeping statement we don’t have ketchup with chips 😂

@Lauren, maybe not the same ketchup?? Or is it the same as us?

@Janni ❤️ usually Heinz tomato ketchup

@Lauren, so the same. I didn't know if we had different ingredients or what. But I feel we shouldn't argue.

I think it's perfectly acceptable to eat beans for breakfast but personally I can't stomach savoury foods in the morning so I would rather have them for lunch or dinner. Also to me I couldn't have jam on crumpets but marmite and crumpets is a perfect pairing.

@Janni ❤️ not an argument at all, just people from the uk stating we do in fact regularly have ketchup with fries

@Morgan Ashley he must have gone to terrible places. There is amazing food about everywhere. Beans is usually found with a fry up and on toast but you don't tend to find it alongside a main meal outside breakfast unless it's the kids meal option.

@Helen Americans tend to go to cheap chain pubs for the ‘British’ experience.. then wonder why the food is bad 😅

I live in the UK and I’m not British and to this day I can’t understand how they can eat an English breakfast in the morning… it’s so greasy 😭 my husband loves it (he’s from here)

@Morgan Ashley as someone that comes from a country where food is a big part of our culture, I can confirm the food in the UK is not the greatest unfortunately 😭

I usually have cereal or toast but, if my husband was to make brunch. I'd not say no to a cooked breakfast with beans.

A cooked breakfast (with beans) definitely sounds a bit full on but it’s so good when you’re in the mood for it! I’ve had potato bread and soda bread (instead of toast) on an Irish fried breakfast which went really well too, worth a try. Double toast your crumpets, they’re so much nicer that way imo

Shepherds pie (minced lamb) or cottage pie (minced beef) are simple and comforting ones to try if you haven’t already. And can’t forget scones with clotted cream and jam (slightly warm still from the oven 🤤)

@Sorrel, That sounds damn good imma have to try those pies. For dinner 🍽 😋

@quiddo you eat it with your hands?? 😮

My quick meal for the kids if I have no time or energy is pasta, cheese and baked beans. It's so good.

@Alina the toast is under the egg haha but yes, i did have a fork and spoon on the side though! i tend to switch depending on how hungry i am

Cheesy beans on toast is the one 🤩 all day long!

@quiddo 😲 where's the sausages? Or tomato? And proper bacon (any English breakfast uses back bacon not streaky) and those look like those brown sugar or bbq beans (get yourself some heinz)
