A few years ago the famous canned food company, Heinz (it rhymes with lines) covered the advertisement hoardings of Britain with the slogan Beanz Means Heinz.
It was a vivid illustration of how the letters 's' in beans and means is pronounced; but much more than that, a reminder of the quantity of beans that the British put on their forks every day.
The bean in question is the common 'peabean' or 'Navy-bean' (phaseolus vulgaris) and it is grown in Michigan USA. It is shipped over to England, baked and canned in a sweet tomato sauce.
The British buy two and a half million cans of beaked beans every day.
Millions of schoolchildren come home to meals of frozen fish fingers and beans, sausages and beans, ham and beans, scrambled egg and beans, beans on toast, or simply beans.
