What have I been saying

I was brought up on baked beans, to this day my favourite meal is beans and cheese on toast

Me too, though prefer without cheese (or egg). Just pure beans

When I lived alone, I'd eat the heinz curry beans and rice as a quick meal. Can't do that now, bit anti-social...

Mashed up pilchards with rice, with tinned or frozen peas, beans and baby carrots. Plenty of herbs, pepper and sprinkling of spices. even add a bit of gravy granules or oxo.

I might try the cheese variety.

I might have that now

I never liked the curry ones. Did they do some green ones once?

Pilchards

Not that i’ve ever tried them, I just don’t like the smell.

it's the same animal as sardines. I like the ones packed in oil, grilled.

For some reason pilchards are often sold in tomato sauce, quite different though some people like them on toast.

Same as courgette and marrow?
When do sardines become pilchards, or vice-versa?
Is it the small - adult difference?
Or a geographical difference?

Never heard of em.. were they flavoured with anything, or just green for fun?

size and (possibly) preparation. Anchovies are similar only smaller.

Apparently sprats and round herrings may also be sold as sardines, but are not the same.

I just googled them, I might have been thinking of green ketchup instead of beans??
