Post by DavePost by Larry AutryPost by MULLINERâ¢For me it's Heinz,.., but the missus has started buying Branston
Beans and says she prefers the flavour. I don't know why she doesn't
just add some paprika to her share of Heinz and we can all be happy.
Does anyone else prefer Branston (or any other brand) to Heinz?
Good luck!
Don't know if you have them there, but in the US, there's Bush's
Baked Beans (no relation to GW). My family and I love `em. There's
also the "Spicy" variety with chili powder and cilantro. I like those
even better as does my two year old granddaughter.
You will have to excuse my ignorance here, what is cilantro and what
does it do to the beans?
Reason I ask, is that we have our grand daughters up for the week and
I am always looking for something that they can try. Mother does lots
of dishes, like all the different types of curries, but my wife frowns
on all that. She does not even like me feeding the youngest with
garlic pate and says that she should have a word with our daughter. So
you can see what I am up against.

Depending upon whomever you ask the answer may be different. Cilantro to
me has a flavor that I find hard to describe. Pleasantly pungent is the
best description I can offer. I don't taste the lemony flavor some say it
has.
Just before typing this, I read an opinion that alleged that whether one
likes cilantro or not is related to genetics. If that person is right, it
doesn't mean you must be Spanish or Latin American as none of us are.
However, if you are among the unlucky, you may discover that it has a
"soapy" flavor. Speaking only for my family, we have never tasted a hint
soapy flavor.
We like to put cilantro in homemade chili. I chop the leaves up as tiny
as possible to get as much flavor as possible and so that it gets
distributed evenly. As with anything, too much cilantro can overpower the
other flavors in a recipe so be aware.
Good Luck,
