I Try Heinz Beans With Pigs In Blankets

With Christmas on its way, the people at Heinz have brought out a festive edition in their range of baked beans.

I had to get myself a tin. Or two.

As you can see, in the image above, the beans come with pigs in blankets using Richmond sausages wrapped in bacon.

I wanted to amp up the Christmas theme with my beans on toast meal, so - instead of regular bread - I opted for a few slices of a cranberry and toasted pecan bacon that can currently be found at Marks and Spencer.

I buttered the bread. I didn't bother to toast it.

Once I warmed up the beans, I placed them on top of the bread and tucked in.

I counted at least five or six of the pigs in blankets in the tin. 

The meal was a bit of change from a regular sausage and beans on toast in only one aspect and that's the fact I didn't use regular toasted bread. Everything else felt.. normal.

The label on the tin states that there is meant to be a 'Christmas seasoning', so I expected a fruitier taste. Or something. I didn't get that. It simply felt like a usual baked beans and sausages.

I was disappointed. A pure gimmick. 

But, then again, isn't it always?
