Toast? Every day. Baked beans? At least once a week. Beans ON toast? Never.

Typically a minimum of once a week. It’s comfort food for me and I do start to crave it if I’ve gone longer without. I like granary toast with dairylea instea of butter, then hot thick Branston beans over the top. I enjoy with buttered toast or grated cheese, but my go to is always a cheese triangle on each piece of toast

Couple times a week, I love branston beans with whatever sauces are to hand and some cheese on top. Maybe I'm only honorary here, because I actually leave them in a bowl and have toast round the sides like I'm having soup. Just don't like missing the wet/dry too much on this one.

Once a week probably. I like to cut small lumps of cheese to partly melt in the pan with a full can of beans, also Worcestershire sauce and black beeper in there. 4 toast round the plate and brown sauce on top, lovely.

I like it but always forget it’s an option. Maybe once every couple of months. Has to be cooked on the hob with a we’re knob of butter added, poured on (melted) buttery thick white toast, loaded with cheese on top, and covered in HP sauce. Genuinely tasty when done like that.
