Heinz releases pigs in blankets flavoured baked beans for Christmas

Heinz has just released a pigs in blankets flavoured baked bean tin for Christmas, and it's certainly proving a crowd divider.

The Heinz Beanz Pigs In Blankets, which is made with Richmond Sausages and bacon pieces, looks pretty epic if you ask us, combining the breakfast staple with the festive starter to create an incredible new twist on a classic.

Writing on Reddit’s r/CasualUK forum, someone shared the new product, writing "We've reached peak Britishness" – and the responses were equally amusing.

"Heinz were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should," said one person in the comments.

Whilst another wrote: "Irrefutable proof that god cares not for his children."

Referencing the ingredients list, a third wrote: "Is 'Christmas Seasoning' pine needles and bits of tinsel?"

Not everyone was hating, though, as a bunch of people flocked to the comments to express their intrigue, and even excitement to try them.

"Honestly I'm tempted," said someone else, in reply.

Whilst a fellow fan chimed in: "Where can I get this?"

"Their curry versions of beans are actually pretty decent so I’d be tempted to taste this," someone else concurred.

The product is limited edition although the exact time frame it'll be on shelves is yet to be confirmed.

The tins are available in supermarkets now, and are listed on the Heinz website as £2.50 for a 400g tin. 

Heinz says of the product: "Need proof that Santa got your wish list? Well here it is! Beanz, pigs in blankets, and Christmas seasoning all in one can. No need to wait for the big day. Crack them open for a taste of Christmas on your toast."

Are these the taste of Christmas? Arguable...but we'd certainly give 'em a try.

It's not the only rather bonkers drop from Heinz recently, seeing as the brand also recently dropped a Monster Munch flavoured mayo.
