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...
My last post promised that the next meal would have more love, attention and artistic expression which i feel has been achieved with this valentine special.
A must for all men on a budget who are trying to impress their partners.
A single slice of white bread with a heart cut out of the middle with my nimble fingers (i sometimes think i should be a watch smith) and then filled with the luscious baked beans (Tesco healthy choice beans 42p) the beans could not be poured from the saucepan due to the preciseness needed and so were spooned in till filled.
This meal would never be complete without the added cupids arrow which was achieved by using some Heinz Ketchup (squeezable bottle) this was harder than i anticipated but i am happy with the outcome.
This was a great valentines meal although i would have liked larger portion sizes as i was not filled to the levels i would have liked which can be remedied if you can bake your own bread and produce a much larger slice of bread or alternatively stacking several bits on top of each other to allow for a deeper filling of beans.
Health wise i am doing fine, no strange symptoms as of yet, this proves the adaptability of the human body but i still have a long time left so i don’t want to speak to soon.
Emotionally i am also doing well, however i do spend a large part of the day talking/thinking about beans and potential meals that can be devised and i hope that this is where my emotional journey will stay but i have a suspicious feeling that this will not be the case
