Is beans on toast,

[SlimPig]

a snack or a meal?

I'd say it's breakfast, lunch or a light tea (tend to have one slice but third can beans). If it were going to be a main meal, then I'd be looking at two slices toast, half can beans, add a bit of cheese and a tomato on the side.

Depends on the size of the portion. One slice of toast and a couple of spoons of beans is a snack, two slices and more beans a meal.

WOT NO EGG WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU WOMAN? 😂

A tasty lunch especially if cooking with a couple of sausages.

Two slices of toast with beans and topped with grated cheese is definitely a substantial lunch in this house.

It's a meal. Definitely.

Yolk mixing with bean juice

Bean juice on egg white

Bean juice all over chips though...
I sometimes wish you could get tins of just bean juice.

A meal!

I love egg and bean juice mixed!

But I absolutely DETEST cheese

How many beans, how many slices of toast?
That is the question.

If you want egg and beans, the way to do it is to first add some chipotle Tabasco to the beans in a bowl, maybe also some smoked paprika, then make a well in the middle and break in an egg. Cover and microwave until the egg yolk is very nearly set but still bright yellow.

It's a snack, unless it's followed by two biscuits, in which case it is a meal.

I don;t like any of those things (chipotle, tabasco, paprika) so will just stick to the egg and beans.

Now, egg chips and beans with a round of bread for a chip butty. Yum!

Would depend on portion size

I wish I'd not seen the comments on "bean juice"

Half a tin for lunch, full tin for dinner.

For a main meal I would do two large slices of bread some grated cheese and a side salad to fill it out a bit.

It's a healthy ish decent filling meal for when there just isn't enough time to do something better

Both. You can make it either.

I would generally have it for breakfast or lunch but there’s no reason it can’t be a snack as well. I don’t think there are any rules about what a snack is are there?

Light meal, if main meal I'd add some eggs / sausage

It's a meal. Anything that requires more effort than grabbing it quickly is not a snack to me!

Can be either. Plenty of people, depending on age, height, level of activity etc, need the odd 300 calorie snack. And beans on toast is way healthier than a Mars bar / frappe / muffin etc which are completely normalised . So all in all a pretty good snack idea.

It's a meal for me but if an evening meal, I'd also have a couple of veggie sausages for extra protein.

It's a food of the gods
