On toast.
I don't know what molasses is. Or cornbread. Or rye.
I am from Scotland - we've only just developed hot and cold running water.

Lots of pork? Only a little? I generally prefer a fair amount of meat in mine, good sized chunks of it.
Don't worry, scarlet. Once you've got the wheel thingie figured out, you can have all sorts of nifty things in Scotland. Beyond the "Things to do with sheep" category, even!
Okay, but a major question: baked beans: a special occasion food, for a good part of any dinner?

bacon and onion in mine, diced up and cooked together in a pan first, and then added to the beans with brown sugar (not mollasses though I don't mind it with mollasses).

Straight from Beantown: With molasses, hold the pork (no pun intended)
No bacon
Yes w/ cornbread
However, beans must not be CANNED , you must do the work and take the 2 days to make them ,,, Yummy...
something else i forgot to ask; home made, or canned/

(They are now functioning. Oddly enough, it was only when I was originally typing this post.)

AAAHH! We have a winner! Those are my kind of beans.
Of course, I prefer home made. Good homemade baked beans are amazing.
I like well cooked chunks of pork, and then bits of bacon that's almost burnt, mixed in to provide some crunch. And you have to have good maple syrup (or molasses, either one) which is, by itself, a bit smokey.
I'm southern, so I guess I'm hardwired for cornbread, though.

All right, define a 'good brown bread' then. What am I looking for, hypothetically?
My mother used to make one. I shall dig through my recipes. It is round, made with molasses and honey. Some have raisins, I prefer none. It is a great side to home made beans.... cornbread is a substitute now due to the non existing brown breads of years ago.

A good brown bread is also delicious with some sea salt baked into the crust. It should be thick and sturdy enough to hold up if you heap some baked beans on top of it.

The problem with Boston Brown Bread is that it's an awful lot of molasses. I think I prefer corn bread, but mostly I like potato bread with salted crust. It balances things out.
And what do we drink when eating baked beans? Water? Some sort of juice? Tea? Beer? What goes best with baked beans?

Me? Vegetarian Baked Beans (Bush's, canned) but I much prefer Black Beans w/ Rice with diced tomato and onion, cilantro, and cheese on top.
And water w/ beans, anytime.

Carrie in PA said:Brown sugar instead of molasses.
Lots of bacon.
And iced tea, of course. Duh.
Of course, brown sugar. You cook the molasses into the baked beans, and then you sprinkle fresh brown sugar on top of it, like you might sprinkle salt. Delicious.
Does anyone else add a bit of cinammon to their baked beans? If it's just the right amount, it makes them taste a little....sharper for lack of a better word.
I add a dash of cinnamon to a lot of foods you wouldn't expect. Really it just seems to be that extra (what is that?) flavor and it heightens the other tastes a bit.
I make homemade ravioli (the dough, the filling, the sauce and meatballs all from scratch - the exhusband was Italian, he's great aunt taught me how to do it) anyway, there's cinnamon in the filling. It shocks everyone to find out, they can't really taste but "there's something else, what is it?" I love that!

So I guess I'm not the only one to throw a dash of cinnamon in homemade hot chocolate or hot cocoa?
From Boston. Please. I miss my Boston Baked Beans - I'm in Ohio and they do not know what they're doing.
for cinnamon flavor in hot chocolate, I usually add cinnamon schnapps.
(of course, not for the stuff the kids drink)
