The appeal of baked beans is *definitely* lost on non-Brits. In Moscow back in 1998 I travelled 10 miles to buy baked beans from a little kiosk another expat had recommended. It was a hard life! ;-) When I was in abroad, I missed peanut butter, baked beans and yes decent cheddar cheese. The appeal of baked beans is *definitely* lost on non-Brits.

Sometimes the local corner shop has the Baked Beans but will charge me $2 (£4) per tin!!!! This is likely to change in Phoenix of course where the market for such items is probably considerably less.
