Yes.....beans on toast is a very popular and protein-packed meal in Britain and Australia (and I daresay New Zealand too). It's so quick and easy to prepare to boot, taking less than five minutes!

I'm an English expat living in New Jersey. I'm fortunately able to buy the UK "Heinz" Baked Beans at Wholefoods and a local supermarket chain, 'Kings' and I think Stop & Shop stock them in their 'international' aisle as well. It has a distinctive turquoise label.

If you can't find (or don't want to pay the higher price) for the UK Heinz beans, then you should be able to find the US Heinz 'vegetarian' baked beans at most American supermarkets - it has a green label. The tomato-based sauce is slightly sweeter than the British Heinz beans though.

(I was horrified when I once purchased a different brand of baked beans, as it had a layer of pork fat floating on the top....yuck!)

I usually just toast some wholemeal bread (white is fine but not as nutritous.....the Italian sliced bread would be best as it's not as sweet as most other kinds of white bread in the US) and heat the beans on the stove-top for a couple of minutes....I do add a tiny scraping of Olivio spread on the bread (no need really as the beans are in a sauce) and hey presto! it's done. I do like to grate some cheese from time to time and put it on the top of the beans.

I also love to add a splodge of some brown 'HP' sauce if I can get it (the A1 steak sauce is almost as good) and also like Branston pickle if I have it (made by Crosse & Blackwell)...accompanied by a steaming mug of tea with a dash of milk.

Lovely jubbly!

I understand that the BMI flights (British Midland) from Chicago to the UK offers a full English breakfast on its flights and possibly beans on toast? What a pity they don't fly out of Newark LOL!
