Beans on toast to get even easier

by Nicole Weston, Posted May 19th 2006 @ 7:04AM

I always considered beans on toast to be an easy, but satisfying meal to make. I mean, you open a tin of beans, warm them up in the microwave (or on the stove, if you want to be fancy) while you toast a slice of bread and then spoon some beans onto the toast. I wasn't one for adding butter to the toast, too, but that is certainly a popular option. The point is that beans on toast is a two-component meal and it looks like two was one too many for Heinz, since they have compacted it into a pre-made frozen food, much like a bean-filled pop tart. It's currently being tested in New Zealand and, if it enjoys success there, it will be treated to a wider release.

Somehow, I think I'll still be able to cobble together this dish on my own, but I suppose if you're really in a hurry....

Is this regional, kin to a specific state? Or can you find it on the Citizenship Exam?
