Oh @Maharg will be ecstatic, Tesco and Filipinas A joke Yuna from another post, Graham and Tesco do not mix
Do they have a Club Card? Maybe you can get 25p of your next purchase? Are you collecting school vouchers?
How many bags did you bring with you today? Sorry I didn't hear you. Someone was talking in my EAR PIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got all excited until I saw the selection which will also be available at SM Premier - SM's upmarket Mall - in Davao from July (if the advertising is to be believed). Expect to pay around a fiver for a tin of baked beans which is what an 8 ounce can of Heinz Beanz costs here. No thanks! SM has its own loyalty cards - SM Advantage and SM Prestige.
Haha...looks like the contents of my larder here. That'll save me a lot of weight in my bags....and I believe prices are not as frightening as has been suggested. That can of beans is 32 pence here...I believe around £1 in the Phils. Not too bad for a treat.
Sounds like the new competitive slimmed down Tesco, shut all your foreign holdings in Asia and ship over a few Balaikbayan boxes to address your Asian market, ooooooo.......ambitious
Yep. I am sure after a couple of months some good old baked beans would taste fantastic. But wait. Mrs Ash says you can get baked beans quite easily in the Philippines, but are they baked beans as we know them?
We buy the Everyday Shreddies. A fraction of the price and less sugar, judging by the taste. The nipper likes them too.
Tesco make good chocolate, Yuna Maybe we will not have to carry 5 Kg over from the UK anymore for our families over there?
Indeed so. Hunts Beans. With or without pork. Not the real deal or even close. Very sweet. Heinz Beanz are available from a few selected outlets in the country - in Manila, Cebu City and Davao - shipped-in from Australia and have "European Recipe" printed on the tin. They are the real deal but at a fiver a tin would be more of a treat than for the average Brit.
Yes...Hunts beans 'with pork'. Meaning the 1cm cube of pork fat floating in the sauce. Yuk. Their plain ones aren't too bad. I like to have some of those (Tesco) tubes of tomato puree. Cheap, and ideal for adjusting the flavour of baked beans and other simple foods.
True...if you want hot chilli flavour. Tomato puree is also very nutritious and an excellent anti-oxidant.
True...and a combination of the puree, the garlic, the chilli sauce and some onion will liven up a whole lot of dishes ! lol
Burning question: How come the fine tradition of eating baked beans in the USA (Blazing Saddles) didnt catch on in the Philippines?
