Morning all, Right I'll lay my cards on the table straight away. I was disgusted about the anti-beans sentiment that was rife on this forum and decided to do something about it, proof either way if you will about beans on a fry-up. I've been working in a pub over the summer holiday, and as such have access to a large sample base, the pub has a very mixed clientèle and as such is perfect for action research. I created a questionnaire, yeah I'm that sad, and gave the questionnaire to one hundred people, which is available on request. The central question, which I don't feel is leading in the slightest, was 'What would you expect to arrive on a fry-up if you ordered one somewhere you'd never been before?' I put ten options down, I didn't want to add Irish/Scottish variation because I think it would confuse matters. The options, and results, follow bellow in percentage form. Bacon 100% Sausage 100% Egg (Any type) 100% Beans 89% Toast/Bread 100% Mushrooms 63% Tomatoes (Any type) 72% Black Pudding 36% Fried Bread 38% Hash Browns 43% Them's fact right there, Beans are statistically more favourable than Tomatoes, Black Pudding, Mushrooms and pretty much everything else. Beans belong on a Fry-up and scientific endeavour has proved it. Now can we put this debate to bed?

If you are reading this and you like beans on a fry up can you go directly to section B please and follow the instructions. Anti-beans people go straight to Section A you handsome devils. SECTION A. We seem to be in a minority here and need to take action to rectify matters. If enough people are interested I shall start an Anti-beans group later when I get home from work where we can officially show our disgust at the repulsive hell bound bean worshippers. We shall be like holy warriors fighting the good fight. We can badger the beaners to repent and join our group with fear of negging and/or unwanted sexual advances. Can you dig it? SECTION B. Fuck off out of the thread and don't read Section A. It is forbidden.
