Hey everyone ! I'm diving into some trivia on baked beans, hoping to stir up intriguing discussions. Did you know these beans aren't actually baked ? Initially, they're stewed. Plus, despite common belief, not all varieties originate from Boston. UK folks consume them with breakfast, transforming an ordinary morning meal into something more substantial. Interestingly, during World War II, baked beans were a staple for soldiers due to their nutritional value and long shelf life. Ever wonder about the secret behind that signature sweetness? Molasses plays a key role, offering a distinct flavor. Curious to learn other quirky facts or insights from your experiences. Let's share!
