There are two Lidl beans. The extra 10p for the ring pull one gets you more than just the convenience. :) Worth trying both though.

Yaaarrrrns.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense in fairness.

I’m not sure if I’m alone in this but I have a terrible aversion to transcoding. I know the loss of quality is probably not that huge (depending on the original codec) but I just can’t bring myself to get past it.

As a result I have a tiny arm based box with a 2tb SSD and I’m happy out.

That non stacking thing annoys the piss out of me haha. It’s such a small thing and it’s deliberate to make the tin look bigger but it just means they’re taking up more space in the cupboard for lack of stacking or falling over if you do.

Also not a huge Heinz fan. Like they’re not bad don’t get me wrong but definitely agree on the watery-ness.

The most popular one here is probably Bachelor’s which has a thicker, richer sauce though I’m fond enough of the Lidl own brand one. That is definitely partly down to price. They’re ridiculously cheap and very decent with a fry especially if you warm them slowly to soften them.

I thought Heinz was the gold standard in the UK. I must try the Branston ones. Flippin’ love that pickle.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen them in the supermarket in Ireland but my sister’s visiting from the UK on Sunday so I think I’ll place an order.
