Baked Beans....

[waveydavey]

Reading this has really made me fancy some baked beans for breakfast. The problem is I went to the Royal India last night and I think the turmoil that combination would cause will be enough for the girlfriend to walk out

[toybits]

This is getting me hungry... I think I am going to make Pote de Gallego...

0.5 kg pork ribs (with cartilage is best)

0.5 kg pork wings (there goes my cholesterole count)

0.5 kg white beans (soaked overnight with 2 tsp baking soda)

1 head garlic (unpeeled but separated into cloves)

0.5 kg of kale (sliced into 1 inch portions)

0.5 kg of diced potato

Boil pork ribs, chicken, potato, garlic cloves and beans until soft.

Drop in Kale

Season with pepper, salt or fish sauce

Simmer in low fire

This gets better with time (I mean days)...

Serve in small bowls.

I like to top my Pote de Gallego with a seasoning made from Vinegar, fish sauce and olive oil. Bon Appetit.

Ahhh i get it now...... Flying pigs

Oppps!!! Mea culpa - Chicken wings ---

Oh, and add enough water to keep everything under. Do I need to mention that you might need to use a large pot? Scale down everything if you are not cooking for an army of people.

You may put the soup in a freezer if you cannot finish everything in on go. Actually Pote tastes better when you reheat it... Yummm!

The word 'Pommy' originates from the Pomegranates the English sailors ate to ward off scurvy, the illness caused by a lack of ablutions for which the Poms are well known.

Colin

Niloc, I half-suspect a clever ruse in your post........ but anyway, as a half-Brit I'll largely ignore the last bit and offer the following from Wikipedia:

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) strongly supports the theory that pommy originated as a contraction of "pomegranate".[2] The OED also suggests that the reason for this is that pomegranate is extinct Australian rhyming slang for immigrant; it cites an article from 14 November 1912, in a once-prominent Australian weekly magazine The Bulletin: "The other day a Pummy Grant (assisted immigrant) was handed a bridle and told to catch a horse." A popular alternative explanation for the theory that pommy is a contraction of "pomegranate", relates to the purported frequency of sunburn among British people in Australia, turning their fair skin the colour of pomegranates.[3] However, there is no hard evidence for the theory regarding sunburn.

Scurvy is/was caused by a lack of vitamin C - remedied in the 18th/19th century Royal Navy by issue of limes (readily available from then British colonies)..... hence "limey". No mention of vitamin C derived from pomegranates - even though they do contain it.

Back on topic, as another poster mentioned them, Crosse & Blackwell baked beans frequently come top in tests and surveys. It's a very British company and traces its origins back to 1706 - unlike the johnny-come-lately Heinz, Ardmona et al............

Its like beer Steve, you like what you grew up with. The only beer I could come at in the UK was Tetleys Mild, it did not look like or taste like the beer I was used to so I did not have any expectations to be dashed...

With Baked Beans they tasted exactly like I expected them to taste, I am going to try the recipe posted by toybits!

The Ardmona beans were only 34 baht by the way...

Ardmona used also to be well known, in the UK, for tinned fruit, no ?

And the pommy-version, of that well-known Aussie classic, runs :-

"Once a jolly hiker, sat down by a lily-pond,

Under the shade of an old oak tree,

And he sang as he sat and waited while his kettle boiled,

Who'll come a waltzing the Bull-dog with me.

Chorus

Down came a hedge-hog, to drink at that lily-pond,

Up jumped the hiker and grabbed him with glee,

And he sang as he sat and waited while that hedge-hog baked,

Who'll come a waltzing the Bull-dog with me.

Chorus

Up came the constables, mounted on their bicycles,

Up came the constables one, two, three,

And they sang as they caught that hiker by his ruck-sack,

You'll come a waltzing the Bull-dog with us !

Chorus

Away jumped the hiker, and landed in the lily-pond,

You'll never catch me alive said he,

And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that lily-pond,

You'll never catch me alive said he.

We Poms are said to consume, on average, one can of baked beans per head-of-population per week. So they are a leading dish to be our national food. But Mrs Ricardo wisely rations me, in the interests of public health, and my own well-being.

It's been a slow week, here in Lake Wobegone, hasn't it ? ...

Ayam brand Baked Beans in Malaysia is not sweet! I believe they have catered to the Thai taste by making it sweeter.

Pretty gay when you read it like that!! lol...

[toybits]

Oh!!! I forgot...

You might also want to add some slices of salameti (salami if you like). I find the Thai-German Salami quite suitable for this.

Cheers

I will certainly try it out sounds delicious

............ Then we conceived the idea of legally bringing in a whole pick up trucks worth for a healthy profit but we were stumped by the expensive import duty

Never stopped over in Had Yai?

The hawkers on the "night market" have done the "import bit" already, slightly dearer then in malaysia, but quite cheaper then the cans to be found somewhere else in the kingdom!

I always wondered why this stuff is called "baked beans" nowhere near being "baked"...ah well....

[donna]

the only beans i really liked were those made by that lovely gentleman buckwheat. dont see what people see in baked beans to be honest.

[Samuian]

Greek Fasolada, Cyprian Fassoulada, Chili con Carne, Fagioli e Pasta (white Beans with Elbow Pasta), or white Beans Salad with Tuna are a bit more inventive recipes and more exiting for the bean fan then the plain "baked beans" in some obscure "Tomato Sauce"...

I wonder if all the boasting as to how good Australian food is, can be related to the below recent news item:

From The Sydney Morning Herald

AUSTRALIA has overtaken the United States as the world's most obese nation, a new report says.

The report, Australia's Future Fat Bomb, says 26 per cent of adult Australians - almost 4 million people - are now obese, 1 million more than the last calculation in 1999.

The findings mean Australia is the world's most overweight nation, ahead of the notoriously super-sized Americans, who have a 25 per cent obesity rate.

"That, unfortunately, makes us the heavyweight champions, a title we don't really want," said Professor Simon Stewart, the author of the report and head of preventive cardiology at the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne.

The report says that 9 million adults have a body mass index over 25, making them overweight or obese, an increase from 7 million. Experts have called for obese people to be given gym discounts and for surgical waiting lists to be prioritised on the basis of weight loss.

The report presents the results of height and weight checks on 14,000 adult Australians nationwide in 2005, giving the most thorough picture of obesity since the AusDiab study in 1999.

The data suggests there will be an extra 700,000 heart-related hospital admissions in the next 20 years due to obesity. Almost 125,000 people will die as a result.

"I would regard this as the biggest threat to our future health," Professor Stewart said.

"As we send our athletes off to the Olympics, let's reflect on the fact that we would win the gold medal now in the world fat Olympics if there was such a thing.

"The health care system is going to be overwhelmed by weight-related hospitalisations from knee replacements through to heart attacks and strokes."

Can I suggest that you replace the "N" of your avatar name with a "P"

[choppychugger]

POME anagram is almost correct, but it reffered to those left behind in England, not transported.... Prisoner, Person is still a source of debate

Niloc used Pommie, which is correct.

POM E became Pommy (POM), Pommie in Aussie slang.

Sorry am I missing something? I thought the United Kingdom sent their prisoners to OZ? So Pommy would be the correct nickname for an Australian.??

all niloc needs to do know is find his house that he lost the other week and then he will be sorted.

If I recall correctly, Tuskers also has excellent baked beans!

Correct.

Chas does a fantastic on 'em and I have told 'em so. Some of the best I've had.
