Jonny Cragg on Beans on Toast

Q: Jonny, my local British pub does not sell beans on toast. I’m downright indignant about this. Do you have any advice?
A: You need BRITISH BEANS, none o that US pork bbq bs. One can augment with a smear of Marmite on top of hot buttered toast and maybe some grated cheddar on the top of the beans. Me I’m all old school; i serve the beans on the side and butter toast. That way you preserve the integrity and crispness of the bread to the last mouthful as you fork the beans onto the toast, bit by bit. A tip for the beans is to slow cook them on the lowest heat in a shallow pan, don’t even let ‘em come to the boil or they’ll disintegrate. My personal favourite brand is Crosse and Blackwell but HP or Heinz (sky Blue can) are just fine.
