Beans?? Interesting. I've never tried such a thing. I want to now.

You might have to special order the beans to get the British taste. They use what we call “baked beans” but I think the limeys have a different recipe for it, more sweet than savory. Or maybe it’s the other way around; I don’t remember. I’ve never cared for baked beans myself.

:barf:

We usually make baked beans here with some brown sugar.. so it's sweet and salty. So kind of similar.
I like baked beans! So I'll have to give it a shot.
 
It looks like the American version is the sweeter one, so I guess if you want to make yours closer to British, cut back on the brown sugar.

Thank you for the info!! We do like our sweets over here.

My husband and I will be visiting England (I won't say where exactly) for his job next year sometime, which I'm am very excited about.
I've wanted to visit England since I was young.
So I better get used to the cuisine now, eh? 😏

I hope you have a great time. As an Anglophile I always wanted to go, too. I went for two weeks many years ago, and I stayed with cousins so I was at the mercy of my hosts for many meals. I would describe the cuisine as "heavy." I didn't try the beans on toast but that's something they ate regularly. One thing I really liked was a combination of Brussels sprouts and chestnuts. Sounds strange but tastes delicious. And many of their Indian restaurants are more like fast-food places than they are here, so beware of those unless you want to have a "The Smiths_1985 evening."

I had to look up what Anglophile means, and I think I'm also that! When I was a kid, I found the Gorillaz, and ever since then I'd always crush on people with English accents. (I had a biiig crush Damon Albarn when I was like, 9, lmao)

Anyway, very cool! I bet sprouts with chestnuts are awesome, I'll have to give that a go. My favorite veggie is brussel sprouts, but I like burning them to a crisp in the oven.

so beware of those unless you want to have a "The Smiths_1985 evening."
HAHAHA.

Enjoy the machete fights and bed bugs!!
 
Yes really. I've never seen that word before.
I'm just a baby
Afterall

My aim is not to be rude here, I just find it genuinely curious that you had to look it up. If you had said that about, say, the word inchoate i would have said 'fair enough! Theres a lot of words out there, and its entirely possible that inchoate might have slipped ones grasp!" But it seems to me that if a person is able to figure out the term 'islamophobe' (which, presumably, you can), then one should logically be able to figure out 'anglophile', because like 'islamophobe' it consists of a very common prefix 'anglo-' (anglo-saxon, anglosphere, anglomania, etc) and a very common suffix 'Phile' (bibliophile, pedophile, apotemnophile, etc).

I honestly.. never heard of anglo. :(
I wasn't sure what it meant.
I've heard phile, phobe, etc though.
 
RIP Peanut and God Bless Trump who cared enough about you to speak of the sin of robbing you from your home and killing you. Democrats are evil

If South Korea gives Johnny Somali the maximum sentence of ten years, then South Korea will be forgiven for K-pop.
 
Is Songs of a Lost World the greatest comeback in alternative music history? It might be.
