To wonder who would actually buy this?

[WheresTheLambSauce]

Just saw this posted on FB.

Surely it's cheaper and more practical to buy a decent loaf of bread, beans, and cheese to assemble yourself??

I understand the appeal of convenience, but beans-on-toast is already the embodiment of ease: toast (or grill if posh ) bread, bung beans in microwave, grate on generous helping of cheese, job done!

Am I just too common to understand the appeal of posh cheesy beans of toast? Would any of you buy this?? Help me out here!

Not me I hate baked beans.

It’s party food. But I wouldn’t bother

Cash rich, time poor?

55p each!! That's like, how much per individual bean?!! M&S really have lost the plot now...

Cash rich, time poor?

Cash rich = private caterers not rubbish from M&S or Waitrose.

Ha, just saw this on my FB!

It's not just M&S Party Food a rather odd range that includes one with spring rolls filled with burger, cheese and gherkin

it's

M&S vomit on a plate Party Food

Don't knock it till you try it, a fancy burger place by me has sold spring rolls with the same filling as a starter for years- delicious so thanks for letting me know about these as I'll definitely get some

Seem like a weird choice for party food. Surely there’s no way to eat these with your fingers without making a mess? And they’d go cold after a few minutes, so you’d be eating a tiny cold beans on toast.

This thread is making me look forward to grazing on party food though. Mmm spring rolls.

Ah, the usual overpriced, overpacked, mediocre stuff M&S manage to sell because there are people who love the “brand”. No thanks.

I went yesterday to buy the mini kievs and mini pies. They are delicious! Quick and easy week end lunch for me and the kids.

Every time I see miniature food I think of Brigit Jones mum

I had it in this weeks Ocado order just because I wondered what it was like. Was ok but a bit meh!

Doing your own would be a jot more difficult trying to get the beans and cheese to stay put as a neat canapé so I see the appeal

It looks and sounds revolting and it's so expensive! I like to buy a few mini pies for Christmas because making pies is time consuming but it's hardly hard work to make something on toast.

...and another plastic tray for something completely unnecessary.only one other person here on this thread seams to be bothered about this.Wtf is wrong with MN people.Do you really dont give a shit about the future for your kids.

@FredaFox iceland do them in their tgi Friday range as well. I think for the sake of science, you need to get them fr both ranges and do a taste test.

Canna beat Markies party food.

All that plastic packaging, it's criminal ! It's gonna end up in landfill and in our oceans, taking hundreds of years to degrade just so someone can have a crappy beans on toast canapé which you could make for a fraction of the price in about 5 minutes.

Bet they are delicious! I would buy them as part of a selection of canapés, more as a talking point than anything else. It is a fun idea like mini fish and chips, mini burgers

M&S trying to “think outside the box”, as it were. I wouldn’t buy these mainly because I find all these ready made party foods give me a stomach ache.

They'll probably be in an offer. They've got people taking so it's worked even if they don't sell many.

They haven't just got a loaf of bread and chucked beans on it. It's a tiny cute slice of bread with probably fancy cheese etc but yes I agree it's expensive and you could make similar cheaper.

Generally party food is gimmicky and nasty.
Stick with a melon hedgehog stacked with cheese and pineapple on sticks; some prawn vol-au-vents and a plate of egg mayonnaise open sandwiches, with a sprig of parsley on the side.

And they aren't relying on repeat purchases, they just need some people to say ooh fancy beans on toast, I wonder if this is a rip off or not? I'll try them and find out.

Lol. They are the opposite of Posh!!

God, I bloody hate the oncoming onslaught of shitty beige food almost as much as I hate the amount of fucking plastic it generates.

Do you really not understand this OP?! Presumably you actually do and this is...what.... just a rather laborious way to sneer at people who buy ready made party food and pay M and S prices for it?

@FredaFox

The burger spring rolls are amazing. I had a yellow-stickered pack for my tea last week

I agree with OP that the mini beans on toast are a step too far
