Asda Smartprice Beans and Sausage

This is an interesting product. On the one hand it takes normal Asda beans and then adds sausages to them, so I should break the review into two parts. The beans look great - nice and red, thick sauce, sumptuous beans, none of which are black. They cook easily, and when heated don't congeal like some other brands. When hot, they taste great - not too hard or too soft: perfect. Serving suggestions: you can't beat beans on toast for a snack or light meal that gives you some heat (perfect in the winter). They also go really nicely with a baked potato. The sausages, on the other hand, are awful. They're those sort of hot-dog sausages (I ...  Read the complete review

I will probably get a bit of a shafting for reviewing this product but I just can't help liking it. These baked beans and sausages in tomato sauce are available from Asda and will cost you around 35p (I say 'around' because I'm not 100% sure how much it costs because it's part of my weekly shop now so I don't tend to look at the price!) for a 420g tin.

The beans in this tin are pretty much the same in that they ...  Read the complete review

When I was little my mam would occasionally give us tinned beans and sausages with our meal, and when stocking up on tinned food recently, I decided to try a tin of the ASDA smart price version, for old times sake!

The product is basically a tin of baked beans which includes eight little pork sausages in a tomato sauce. The beans and sausages come in a standard 420g tin, which is very plain - simply green and white, with a picture of the product in a bowl. On opening the tin, the contents ...  Read the complete review

You know how the smell of a certain food can spark a memory or a certain time in your life. Well every time I smell baked beans and sausages it takes me straight back to my childhood. We used to go camping every year when I was young.For quite a lot of the time we would have beans and sausages, as they were quick and easy to make on the gas burner. I can still remember now how delicious the sausages were but being shared between a couple of us, it was always a treat to find a sausage in amongst the beans. I'm older now and have two children of my own. Unyet funnily one of their favourite quickie snacks is baked beans and sausages on toast. I offer them the ...  Read the complete review
