It is just a little bit, like the spices but it is not offensive or gross. I am not big fan or Mr. Bean either. But I do not think your comment were out of line. Everybody have their own taste. But, yes, I am afraid he has become such a British symbol that you find him everywhere. Maybe he is the portrait of British humor, no idea.

I even had some beans my mom got me from farmer's market that looked just like those (even though I don't think she called them the same - you see, we're Portuguese). Our fridge was low on bacon so I added some salami to the mix and also a couple of chopped leftover sun dried tomatoes, and gosh... this was incredibly delicious!!!

But I think I might give this one a go tomorrow. I would've saved that bacon fat, and drank it. You hit the wand firmly on the nail about Mr Bean, I am English, and Rowan Atkinson's a legend playing any other character, but Mr Bean gets firmly on my tits. That's it, except to say I wonder why the cranberry beans lose their colour while they cook?
