Bean juice

Aibu to insist that the sauce in a tin of baked beans is not bean juice? My DH has just wondered if he could buy a tin of just the juice as he loves it but cannot eat the beans. It is not fucking juice of beans. Envy not envy

@Notimeforaname

Bean juice forever
Great album name
Tiredforfive45 · 25/07/2021 20:05

Yep. Deffo bean juice.

Also, the only nice part. I hate beans but like the juice (for dipping various things into).
I wish they sold it sans beans!

I wrote to Waitrose to make a complaint because one of their recipes called for the aforementioned "bean juice" to be tipped over something. They didn't get the point and I failed then to prove to DH that there is no juice in beans with which to make an orange sauce. I stayed with Ocado when they binned Waitrose. M&S would not call it bean juice. "This is not just bean juice, this is M&S fucking tomato sauce in which the beans are enrobed."

Of course it's bean juice, what else could it be.

Just like if something spills in your kitchen bin and leaves a puddle at the bottom ... bin juice.

Bin juice is known as "the farage" in our house.

@Toottooot

It’s bean juice and it’s fucking disgusting 🤮
This with bells on I absolutely hate it and refuse to buy them
Leah2005 · 25/07/2021 20:09

@ShinyGreenElephant perhaps DH could live with you in a perfect "Jack Sprat could eat no fat" scenario. I'll send him round.

@Tiredforfive45 perhaps DH is actually on to something here. It may prove a successful career move.

Buy him tesco value beans.

More juice than beans in a can the thieving sods.

I've had a revelation. I am no longer allowed to eat baked beans as I must stick to a low fibre diet but I've just realised I could have bean juice. Oh joy, bean juice on toast, here I come 🎉

EastWestWhosBest · 25/07/2021 20:15

It’s not the actual juice of a bean but I call it bean juice.

iklboo · 25/07/2021 20:16

Bean juice here too. As in 'sat in a string vest with bean juice down it' to describe being dressed scruffily or not bothering her tong dressed. Grin

Years ago when Heinz brought out a variety of toppings for desserts, my friend said : "Yuck, no, it would be like putting bean juice on your ice cream."

chunderwunder · 25/07/2021 20:37

It's bean juice. I hated baked beans as a kid but liked the sauce. So I'd pour them on toast then scrape the beans off on to my brother's plate. You are basically married to me.

LadyCatStark · 25/07/2021 20:37

It’s bean juice.

randomchap · 25/07/2021 20:39

Once had an economy tin of beans with a single bean, worst dinner ever

Leah2005 · 25/07/2021 20:54

Frankly I am appalled. I may have to leave Mumsnet. I honestly thought I had found kindred spirits here but how wrong you can be (an).

How about ‘bean wee’ ?

Saoirse82 · 25/07/2021 21:00

Bean juice here too

AvantGardening · 25/07/2021 21:03

@ShinyGreenElephant

Its bean juice and its gross I drain it all out with a sieve
You could just buy the beans without the sauce?
ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 25/07/2021 21:06

it's technically tomato sauce and it is not made from beans but yes, it's called bean juice.
and it's vile.

I used to wash it off for stews & soups until I realised I can buy just haricot beans!

Toddlerteaplease · 25/07/2021 21:06

Of course it's bean juice!

Ifixfastjets · 25/07/2021 22:02

Ds used to have a book called beans on toast.
Showed simply how baked beans are made.
The sauce appeared to be tomato and onions and seasoning.
But I have never liked baked beans. Or the bean juice.
Ds had a phase of calling any liquid juice.
Car juice. Washing machine juice.
Drinking juice. Shower juice.

NoIDontWatchLoveIsland · 25/07/2021 22:10

It is, and always has been, bean juice, OP. Sorry.

ShinyGreenElephant · 25/07/2021 22:13

@AvantGardening no I don't want plain beans but neither do I want bean juice pouring onto the plate making everything else soggy. Just drain off the excess and theyre perfect 👌. Worst thing is I've always done it for the kids too and now they've all picked up my bean juice aversion too
