Day 6 - Beans and pancakes















My housemates today decided to cook me pancakes which I was extremely thankful for but had a great idea of combining them with beans!!.

The initial idea of this made me feel sick but variety is the spice of life right.....or so they say..so “what the hell” I thought.

The choice of beans for today’s culinary delight were Sainsbury’s value baked beans (29p) these beans disappointed me on many levels which has now left me feeling slightly depressed.
First of all they were extremely juicy which caused a problem for this particular dish as I need the contents to stay within the pancake, this forced me to strain the beans after cooking and then spoon them into the circular delights. I then wrapped them up like you would with any other filling (lemon, jam etc)


The first bite was hard for me to take, but once my mouth was full of beans and pancake the real hardship started. It was very bland and chewy and made me feel slightly sick but I knew that I would come across dishes that I would not get along with on this experiment.

I would not personally recommend beans in pancakes unless it was to an enemy and even then I would think twice and would be nice enough to recommend them Branston beans (nice and thick sauce which is ideal for this dish).

I must now go and have a cup of tea to help me get rid of the lingering taste...
