Baked Beans or Home Fries - Page 2

wolf · 09-12-2008, 01:57 AM

Baked beans for something off the grill, it's a natural.

Home fries are a breakfast item. Needs an omelet or a couple once overs and a mess o' bacon and/or sausage.

One or the other, it's beans. But if both are offered, I take both.

I didn't know what Home Fries were.
I found these step by step recipes (for cooked and uncooked)

Seems pretty comprehensive
If that's what you mean I'd definitely have them.. AND beans!
BTW - I'm one of the few people who bake their own beans in this country. Mostly we mean Heinz when we say Baked Beans.

If i can't have the home fries, I want potato chips with my baked beans. I scoop up the beans with the chip----is very yummy.

Mikesells potato chips are a must with baked beans!

It depends, if the beans are too sweet, then its the home fries.

I absolutely love filling up on either, or both.
I never realized that in some parts homefries are a breakfast only thing, not that I don't love them with some eggs, sausage, pancakes, etc.

Another one of my other favorite foods to include homefries with is when I am panfrying up a batch of fresh caught fish.

SG, just like in your link.

Pico, I made the poll to be your favorite type, sweet or otherwise. My own developed recipe leans toward the sweeter flavor, but I want to be able to taste four things with a bite of my beans.
In no particular order they are:
- a sweet aspect from the full bodied mollasses and dark brown sugar
- the pungence from the apple cider vinegar
- the bacon that covers the baking dish
- the smoke from the Liquid Smoke
This combination of flavors creates a fantastic mouthful of rich tastes, all of which are discernable one after the other.
I don't add any other tastes like onions because I start to get competing flavors after four of them.
Maybe we should post our favorite baked beans recipe in a separate thread.

Oh yea, I've found that the rich, full flavor of a Sam Adams Cream Stout complements the beans flavors nicely for me.

I was going to respond beginning with "Up here, we..."
for some reason, I feel as if I should begin every entry on this sort of thing like everybody here is south of me. I don't know why, but along with that, it reminds me of a joke around this area.....*clears throat*...Okay.....

What do Erie folk call people from Pittsburgh?
"Up ears". Why? Well, they can tell when somebody is from Pittsburgh. They say, "Oh yeah, I'm up ear from d'burgh just vizitin."

It's a plague of vocabulary.

Anyways, "Home Fries" to me is my mom slicing potatos about 1/2" thick, frying them in an iron skillet with a bit of oil, top it off with cracked black pepper and a lager. And we typically never eat baked beans around here unless it's summertime and we're in somebody's backyard eating hot dogs...lol

Oopsie.

I used to love baked beans or pork-n-beans...whatever, but not so much anymore because they usually are on the sweet side. Im not into foods being sweet unless they are for dessert.
