The Baked Bean Challenge - Round 1!

We have embarked on a fascinating journey to discover the answer to one of the world's most pondered questions: what really is the best brand of baked bean??

In the running are.....
Heinz
Sainsbury's Own
Sainsbury's Basics
Tesco's Own
Lidl's Own (Campo Largo)
Asda's Own
Asda's Smart Price
Aldi's Own

The challenge will take the format of a League, with two brands up against each other in a blind taste test in each round and the winners going through to the next stage.

SO... Round 1: Lidls VS Heinz (oooooh)

And the results................ (scroll down)









LIDLS!!!

I know, it's a shocker, but the judges' decision is final. It was a tough one, and although Heinz had a stronger, more tomato-y flavour, the beans were far more mushy and Lidls had the overall best flavour and texture.
In terms of nutrition, most differences between the two were negliigible, however Lidls also comes out on top with only 65 calories, compared to 79 in 100g of Heinz. Also, in a tin, Lidls gives you 5 extra grams of beany goodness, with 420g per tin compared to Heinz's 415g.

What will the next round hold in store?! Watch this space!
