    I think beans or other legumes eaten with bread or other cereal grain products is is a staple of the working class throughout a lot of the world. Though the specific legume and cereal grain combination, as well as flavor and preparation method, varies widely across cultures.

    When you mentioned people who work hard labour jobs, I was reminded of my man who worked in a manual lumber mill. They ate a LOT of bowls of oatmeal and a lot of bean meals to get through the days. Your meal look delicious.

    I wish RUclips had a remote taste function! Please could you enlarge on the ingredients, flavours and textures that you detect, so that we can imagine what it's like to eat?

    I love bread and beans. This is a standard meal in so many places. Those beans look really good!

      We have "beans on toast" basically the same thing.

    Very interesting! Beans on toast is fairly common in my area of Canada, although perhaps not as popular as it used to be. Other food seems to be more fashionable these days. I still eat beans and toast sometimes for breakfast or lunch. As the name indicates, the bread is toasted. It is placed on a plate, the beans are ladled on top, and the whole thing eaten with a fork and knife. It's a very simple homemade dish!
    I'm sure the beans taste differently from yours, though - it looked like a sauce or palm oil was added? Because it is such a traditional dish, there are many recipes for baked beans throughout eastern Canada and northeastern US - they probably all came from the UK originally. Ours are sweet, flavoured with molasses or some other sweeteners. I think you can use almost any type of bean, but by far the most common, in my area anyway, are dried navy beans. Navy beans are small white beans (I think I heard once that they were called navy beans because they were served in to the sailors in the navy; I never knew if that was the US, Canadian or UK navy. Or all of them, I suppose.). Of course, you can buy canned beans in any supermarket, but they're very easy to make at home, and they taste better.
    I remember my mother telling me that the bread she made at home cost more than the store bread because hers had different ingredients. She may have meant as well that the big commercial bakeries can get flour cheaper than a housewife can because they buy such large amounts of it. We liked her bread more than the store bread, though. At that time and place, though, the cost of fuel wasn't that significant in the cost of homemade food.

      Historical note- Navy beans are originally from Peru and got their name from their use as a food staple aboard US Navy ships in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

      @@Peter_S_ Thank you! I didn't know about Peru. I may have been told the version I mentioned when, as a child, I was puzzled because navy beans were not navy blue in colour. Someone must have told me that they were associated with navy as in ships, not navy as in the colour.

      @@Linnet09 You're very welcome. I believe I would be somewhat unsettled if the colour were blue, but there are certainly some legumes headed in that direction.

    In Los Angeles we eat beans and rice. Rice is similar to bread but you can put it all together and bring to work.

    Looks good! I eat a lot of beans myself-mostly because I’m a vegetarian. It’s a good way to get protein for vegetarians and when meat is prohibitively expensive. Beans have quite a few health benefits too.

    Beans and cornbread is still survival food in Appalachia. Cornbread is very cheap and easy compared to what you used here. No yeast, cup of cornmeal, cup of flour, teaspoon or so of salt and baking soda and sugar and an egg and a little oil and milk or buttermilk. Often cooked in the iron skillet used for frying .
    People used to cook on woodstoves but it's all electric here now. The beans are simple, brown beans, water or chicken broth, an onion and some some bacon or salt pork ,seasoned with salt and pepper. The beans are wet and the bread is dipped in to sop the juice. The beans are eaten with a spoon.

    What was the red sauce/oil that was added on the beans? Some kind of chili oil? Or what?
