Rather sadly we were reading an article about baked beans. You know the sort that comes in a tin and induces a certain windiness. Apparently they derive from a Native American recipe with beans and venison and treacle. This was adopted by the European settlers who substituted pork for the venison. Heinz used to put pork into their “baked beans”  until rationing in the Second World War brought that to an end. So here is the link to Hugh Fearnley- Whittingstall,s recipe for Boston Beans. Its sure to taste great with some Blue Pig belly pork.   http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/bostonbakedbeans_10471
