I have never eaten baked beans are good as the ones pictured on the right. As far as I know, they’re only available in New Zealand.
Can somebody please tell me if these are available in Australia?
If not, I’m going to be forced to take back a crate load when I eventually move back.
These babies are simply the greatest baked beans known to man. Seriously, you will never buy another type again.
Free tip though: steer clear of all the other ones from the same range, especially the Indian ones. They are some sort of unholy combination. I mean, beans have enough fibre as it is, there’s no need to turbo charge them.

I’ve seen Watties on sale in Sydney (didn’t buy any though)
Sadly I didn’t see that particular sort of Baked beans though…

Looks like you can buy some online Mr Admin:

Bugger that, I’m taking back a pallet load. If you think I’m exaggerating, then you haven’t tried them.

I hate all kinds of baked beans.. why you love the stuff is beyond me
truekiwijoker said
I like to think Admin enjoyed Rotorua so much he wants to recreate the ‘Rotorua experience’ more.
admin said
Maxine,
I’m not a huge fan of your bog-standard bean in tomato sauce, but these are a different animal altogether.
admin said
TKJ, the Indian ones are what you’re after if you want the Rotorua experience.

SPC baked beans are my personal favourite – and I suspect the “expensive” brand of Aldi bean is the same stuff.
But we’ve had this discussion before…
Squivy said
Sorry Admin, I lost the taste for Baked Beans so long ago so have no interest really….
TKJ/F*meI’mGay (holy mack they rhyme too!)/Sir Les Patterson persona. He has hogged heaps of space and probably helped to drive lots of potential posters away with his incessant ranting. How about considering setting his own Blog up? Then he could rant to kingdom come. Maybe he has already tried this and failed, who knows??
BTWGood job done by you, sorry if I have responded to insults with insults.
Squivy said
A suspicion … are Ken and Marion pseudonyms of TKJ too? RSVP Marion …. en bon francais comme preuve
Squivy said
Is Leah yet another TKJ aka, see Eurovision to see how he replies to himself …. Detective at work (bad one).
maxine said
lol Oh sorry Admin :-) whatever animal that is, hope it won’t give you gas..
admin said
Squivy – nope you’re being paranoid :)
admin said
bcg – SPC are to these beans what VB is to Coopers.
Squivy said
Sorry for being paranoid but there are a couple or more personas of the person concerned. Certainly two more he has occasionally used … as mentioned above.
truekiwijoker said
Seeing as you’re so interested in me personaly Squivvy I’ll happily declare I am also:
Troy Dann
Sir Les Patterson
FuckImGayJustAskMe.
Mainly for the purposes of a certain someone getting upset to the extent of coming out wish stuff like widespread child illness in NZ due to poor housing (LOL).
“He has hogged heaps of space and probably helped to drive lots of potential posters away with his incessant ranting.”
Yeah and I’m sure everyone wants to see you continuously talk about me and try and get on some schoolyard argument.
Feel free to make a tally of people who you think have shot through because of me.

Agreed admin, this particular kind of baked beans is well recommended, better that the usual shiet in stores, stock up for those cold winter nights.
Leah said
Those baked beans are adequate.
Squivy, I want admin to check as I believed some of those pseudonyms to be you or Figjam stirring.
Marion was nuttier than a jar of extra nutty peanut butter and I wanted to cyberpunch but I hope like heck it wasn’t TKJ. Didn’t sound like him. As for the Eurovision thread, TKJ kept quoting everyone in his post to respond to specific points. It was messy and hard to follow, I give you that. I can’t love, TKJ as he dissed Midnight Oil.
Squivy said
This pseudonym thing is hilarious Leah! No I am nobody else but we see above that TKJ is also FuckImGay, Sir Les Patterson and Troy Dann (I didn’t pick up the last one!). Sorry I accused you of being him .. as you say it was messy.
I still wouldn’t mind if Admin went in and did a bit of cleaning up. Any more votes for that?
Brett said
The best thing to do Squivy is try to ignore people like TKJ and not reply to their absolute stupid opinions. These kind of people do this to get bites, it’s like a thrill thing to them…Attention seeking.
To meet this character in person you’d find he/her is a friendless piece of shit that nobody takes seriously, usually some kind of geek or outcast and usually also on the dole as they can’t mix with society like the normals… I too wish he’d piss-off, but I wont encourage the freak!
Squivy said
I worked that out too. Best to ignore these sorts of people, don’t know why I bothered reacting from time to time. No need to encourage anyone like this at all.
Hayley said
You can buy them over here in NSW. Different packages though. They are Orange and blue with cute picturs of the beans. Come in the traditional flavours as well as with the little sausages etc. Usually on the very bottom shelf of the baked bean section.
figjam said
Leah go back a few posts and see TKJ admit about his alias names. Stop acting like a NZ sporting team and get it wrong. Thanks.
Squivy said
If anyone is interested: Check out TKJ’s hate parade in numerous other websites. And yes, he does have his own rant on You Tube:
http://www.youtube.com/user/truekiwijoker
This guy has zero sense of humour at all! Just hope he stays away and lets us enjoy Admin’s “lame, pissant blog” in future. By the way TKJ is 31 and lives in London. His strident anti-Irish, anti-Catholic bashing makes Ian Paisley look like the Pope!
figjam said
Lmao….knew he was a troll.
Leah said
Oh fantastic, Squivy, and I semi stuck up for the guy despite his fervent anti- Midnight Oil stance.
Figjam, my father’s Aussie, thanks. Again, I’m not sure I understand half of what you are on about as you word things so damn appallingly sometimes. I’m not sure if it’s intentional. I have zero deciphering issues with Squivy’s or others’ posts, just yours.
Marita said
Leah, I have just re-read a lot of old posts from figjam and have no problem understanding him, accepting that typos and rushed writing are par for the course in blogs.
Leah said
You missed the doozies obviously, Marita or my standards are too friggin’ high. I will go with the latter. My personal bad.
I don’t ‘accept’ them wholeheartedly and I attempt to make an effort myself. Simple courtesy.
