I went to buy a bottle of Heinz 57 sauce at Walmart the other day and it was almost $9 for 5 oz.!!! That works out to $28.80/lb. I don't pay more than $3.50/lb. for meat so I'm sure not buying that at Walmart.

At Dollar Tree the same bottle is $1.25. Go figure.

Also I didnt know Henry's granddaughter was married to john kerry the senator in murica.

For the longest time I didn't know Heinz was an American company. I was trundling along thinking 'The Great British Baked Bean! - is there anything more English than that?' blissfully unaware that they had been invented in Pittsburgh.

Looking at products on the Walmart site and comparing what we have in England I think the range is quite similar. There is the odd thing I've never seen before (such as Barriehie 's 57 sauce) but mostly the same.

Now, Heinz Japan - that's a totally different beast. When we were in Tokyo a couple of months back and browsing the supermarket I had never seen so many things we don't get.. I don't know what most of them are. I bought the demi-glace sauce to try plus some of the ready pasta sauces and they were pretty good. The products seem to be packaged and positioned to be more luxurious than elsewhere.

Per 'Joy of Cooking, baked beans are as popular in Sweden as in the northeaster US. In any case, Heinz hardly 'invented' them, as the company was founded in 1869. Maybe Heinz was the first to can them? Also, have heard one or two Brits say that UK Heinz beans differ markedly from US Heinz beans.

Yeah. Sister has American friend. He showed her the Heinz they have. Super expensive also.

It's generally a question of sugar. US beans are sweeter.
