This American chef ‘fixed’ the classic British beans on toast and it was basically a declaration of war – 16 super tasty bite backs
No other item of British food seems to disgust our American friends more than beans on toast.
Enter foodie and content creator Epicurious Expeditions, who has gone viral with a gussied-up recipe she has for beans on toast.

She starts her video by holding up a plate of beans on toast as we’d know it, calling it bad and then throwing it away. Epicurious then goes on to make her own recipe “with the goal of their actually being flavour in mine”.
Her recipe includes frying sausage, pepper, garlic and onion, before adding smoked neck bones, red beans, spices, and herbs, while for the bread she fries cornbread in butter and honey.
No doubt it looks and sounds delicious, but coming for beans and toast the way she did, means she got quite the response.

I think the one thing Americans don’t understand about Britain is that it’s far less capitalistic, and most people have less money and less time available.
Beans on toast becomes a meal for many families because it’s quick and affordable.
It’s a lemons to lemonade situation.
