    Heinz or Morrissons own. Looks like I'm the only one not a fan of Branstons. Mi Mrs likes em.

    Aren't a lot of these delicacies produced by the same company and just have different labels slapped on?

    Indeed they are. Heinz, Daddies and HP are the same.

    Also Bacon is all the same. If you want the best bacon buy Morrisons. Same as Sainsbury's and Marks and Spencer just a different sized and quality cut. Once it's fried that doesn't matter anyway.

    Aldi value beans, 27p a can, cheap & cheerful, they’re just beans.

    Very good analysis, but for the complete picture we need marks out of 10 :)

    Another vote for Branston's. This study is meaningless without them as an option.

    According to the tasters at Which magazine ASDA are top, followed by Branston.
    But don't worry, whatever brand you try will be Novichok free.

    Personally me and Mrs Snaptin don't like Branstons. Aldi, Morrisons or Asda own brand seem to hit the spot (bean).

    When I was a kid there were two brothers who lived opposite, their Mam only seemed to feed them on beans, when it was my turn to host the Subbuteo game my Mam made us play in the garage because the smell inside the house made her nearly vomit.
    We just thought it was funny.

    I prefer Mr Bean more than Sean Bean.

    Branston for me, nothing comes near them for rich creamy sauce or taste.
