Gourmet Baked Beans for Sunday Lunch

When I was a kid, we always went to the beach or out in nature on the weekend, getting home late. Mum would always make us either tomato soup and toast, baked beans on toast, or toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches. It was such a tradition that my sister and I even made a song about it:

'toasted cheese, and tomato sandwiches, toasted cheese, and tomato sandwiches, toasted cheese and tomato sandwiccchhhes, all on a sunday eveeeeeening'.

Brilliant right?

Whilst I'd love to have time for cooking a lovely meal on a Sunday, I tend to fall on the tradition of baked beans, which nicely crosses over with Jamie's traditional cultural cuisine of - you guessed it, baked beans. The English love their baked beans. We have a whole twelve pack in the cupboard at any one time.

Jamie's method is to toast sourdough, heat up the beans, grated half a block of cheese on them, and drizzle with worchestershire sauce (pronounced 'wooster').

Mine is to grill the toast, add the hot baked beans, thin slivers of cheese - and jalapenos. Parsley or onion, sometimes, if I'm feeling really gor-met.

Here's some beans I took a photo of earlier - because too busy to take a photo of today's beans.

It never, ever gets boring.

I tell you what though, if we lived near a town that had takeway food that wasn't fish and chips from the service station, I'd be ducking out for a pho for lunch, or some tacos.
