  • sainsburys beans are neither too rich nor too soft nor too firm, and are generous with a good consistency of sauce that isn't too watery or viscous. my favourite choice.
  • M&S are rich, very good.
  • Co-op and Tesco are similar to each other. solid choice.
  • heinz feels too sweet - it's fine otherwise.
  • euroshopper / other value beans are good but a little bland and the sauce can be slightly watery.
  • tesco reduced sugar beans (or any reduced sugar beans) has a weird flavour.
  • branston beans are too firm, and the sauce is too thick. very unenjoyable to me.
