WAITROSE BAKED BEANS IN TOMATO SAUCE 25P
There are a lot of beans in this tin but the sauce is quite watery and on the sweet side. The beans are a bit too soft like they have been overcooked and are on the mushy side. The overall taste is bland and lacking in seasoning. Disappointing.

BRANSTON BAKED BEANS IN TOMATO SAUCE 44P
This tin is packed full of beans and the sauce is thick and quite gloopy. While the beans are nicely cooked with a good texture, there seems to be something missing from the sauce.
It has a strong, dark colour, but tastes starchy and a little stale.

TESCO BAKED BEANS IN TOMATO SAUCE 24P
The sauce is a very appetising rich red colour and has a clean, tomato flavour. The beans are nice and firm and, with the sauce, are a delicious tangy combination with just a hint of seasoning. Slightly spicy taste. A real winner.

HEINZ BAKED BEANS IN TOMATO SAUCE 25P
The sauce is very pale and unappetising and the beans taste bland and overboiled. I can't taste any tomato, although the sauce is sweet and pleasant. It needs an extra ingredient to give it a bit more body and bite.
Comfort food,
but a bit boring.
