Beans on Toast

Curious about the popularity of beans on toast in British literature, I recently “baked” beans in the crockpot and ate them spread on a bagel thin. While I enjoyed the concoction, I belatedly discovered that I hadn’t recreated the British breakfast staple.

Apparently, beans on toast is to be made with beans cooked in a tomato sauce. Instead, I had prepared them with molasses, resulting in Boston beans on toast.

I was going to tie the beans on toast story to my outfit and claim that I sort of looked like the dish, but the similarity ends with all the brown. Maybe beans on moldy toast? I doubt that's popular on either continent.
