Why do curried baked beans exist when they are so vile?

Why why why? I know they've been around forever but this is the first night I've had them darken my kitchen. I like beans, I like baked beans, I like curry, I like beans in curry...but wtf is up with curried baked beans. I couldn't even get past the horrific smell to try them. I'm usually a "get on and eat it" kind of person but honestly why do they exist? What do you even eat them with? They need to go, surely?! Aibu to, at the very least, ban them from the house forevermore? I swear I can still smell them.

It’s probably because back in the day Indian refugees from East Africa ‘cooked’ baked beans by tempering them with mustard and cumin and adding spices / other ingrediants (sweetcorn is a popular one). I used to envy my friends who could just open a tin of beans and heat them up on the stove!

They’re amazing! I mentioned this thread to DH and he made some for lunch. Used ordinary curry powder and also Mayflower Chinese curry powder in the beans and they were amazing!

My thoughts exactly!

Baked beans are disgusting little pustules of vileness. I hate them.
