Should they describe this menu item better

[holidaybubble]

Went to a cafe for the first time it’s not for profit and does stuff for the community. I had been wanting to try it out for a while and finally went to day with my toddler I checked the menu to see if he would eat anything and saw baked beans. I ordered him baked beans on toast with a sausage turns out the beans where homemade and spiced Aibu to think they should state this on the menu as there is a big difference between tinned and home made. I said to the girl behind the counter it was my first time coming she could have said did I know the beans were spiced when ordering for my son. Obviously he refused to eat them.

not linked to my Aibu but my full English came with toast and I got toast for him too. The wait for food was long so they gave me my son’s toast early which I hadn’t asked for. I then didn’t revive my toast with my meal and he then had no toast for his beans. I would have said something but my son was screaming as he was hungry and pushing his pot of beans and spitting them out so I just inhaled mine and left. The person that also works there had gone upstairs and I didn’t want to wait.

You have an allergy to chillies and 'they are everywhere ' but you wouldn't think to check. ?

I agree with you OP. If somewhere is serving beans on toast, full English with beans or jacket spuds with beans then I expect beans from a tin, heinz or supermarket own. I would not expect homemade or spiced.

I had a baked egg dish thing with spinach he hates eggs spiced food and eggs is something he hates he had already eaten some toast the cafe only gave us one portion even though I paid for 2 I assumed more toast was coming so we had half each

How do you "inhale" beans ?? @holidaybubble

I should have asked for more toast but it had already taken 20 minutes for the 1st toast to come and the lady had disappeared upstairs for a meeting and now the chef was out back

What utter fucking nonsense that you've never been anywhere that serves tinned baked beans? You must have been to a cafe or restaurant or hotel or school canteen or anywhere similar that sells tinned beans for jacket potatoes, breakfasts and beans on toast etc

in this context, it means to eat quickly.... are you really that dense? don't you read? can't you infer meaning in language? are you always so literal?

because he ... was hungry and it was part of hid meal, and you can eat toast on it's own you know...

Jesus christ - people are fucking stupid today

Why didn’t you just feed him stuff from your fry?

you said you had a full english in the OP? which i usually sausage, bacon, eggs, baked beans, tomatoes toast that kind of thing.

You had a full English according to your original post

hmmm, starting to sound a little.... suspicious.

Definitely spicy even I didn’t eat them I as they where spicy I am a wimp though and don’t even like pepper. Definitely had cumin in and some other spices they made my mouth feel slightly burning @wishingonastar101 I don’t let him spit out food but he took a mouthful and they burnt his mouth being spicy with I guess chilli and he’s only 1 @CoastalCalm I said full English as was easier to say than baked eggs with spinach

Your original post said full English?

I think they should advertise them as home made baked beans, although spicy to some people isn't spicy to others?

If it's not for profit it's probably run by volunteers. So I'd cut them some slack tbh. You gave it a go. You know to just order toast next time or go elsewhere I guess!

I would have sent them back. I’d have expected normal baked beans.

You said you inhaled them in your op too.

I’m slightly surprised they didn’t say spicy baked beans, but I also wouldn’t assume they’d be out of a tin, and if I had a fussy child with me I’d ask. Common sense.

I hate cumin. Don’t blame your kid!

This really doesn’t present the most appealing of mental images - the toddler screaming and spitting out baked beans everywhere because he’s so hungry, despite having eaten toast and a sausage, while the OP shovels down her food like there’s no tomorrow! 😆😆

You say you had a full English in your OP.

I said full English as was easier to say than baked eggs with spinach
That's ridiculous. Saying roast dinner would be just as inaccurate as saying full English and just as short.

JFC, you can't just assume everything in restaurants and cafes will be tailored to your specific needs unless otherwise stated.

Sometimes, meals in cafes will not be identical to the way you personally make them at home. That's life. They don't know how you or your child personally prefers their baked beans, and therefore they can't really be expected to clarify each menu item to explain any potential differences to you.

Your kid was served some food he didn't like. The world has not ended. Get a grip.

Mumsnet at its best 😂

No if baked beans are on the menu, unless it said otherwise, I'd expect them to be bog standard baked beans (unless it was a very fancy place)
