 EC> I think the Plant is closing in Birmingham despite the protests

 JW> It did.

 JW> A press release from the British National Party:

 JW> Last bottles of British HP sauce

 JW> Birmingham correspondent reports.

 JW> The final bottles of HP sauce to be made in Britain have rolled
 JW> off the production lines. Heinz, the owners of HP, have closed the
 JW> factory in Aston, Birmingham to move production to The
 JW> Netherlands. Around 125 jobs have been lost.

 JW> The final shift clocked off at 6am today, though some staff will
 JW> be around for a few more days to clear the factory. The closure was
 JW> widely condemned, but Heinz had decided the factory was no longer
 JW> viable.

 JW> A "Save our Sauce" campaign was launched in Birmingham and
 JW> demonstrations were held outside the American Embassy in London,
 JW> but to no avail. Some MPs tried to get the Heinz sauce banned from
 JW> the Houses of Parliament, saying it was no longer a "symbol of
 JW> Britishness" but this did not work.

 JW> How can you outsource a national icon? The heartless swine!

 JW> Title: Barbecued Beans Butch
 JW> Categories: Beans, Bbq, Bacon, Casseroles
 JW> Yield: 6 Servings
 JW> 
 JW> 2 c  Dried great northern beans
 JW> 5 c  Water
 JW> 6 sl Bacon
 JW> 1/2 c  Chopped onion
 JW> 2 cl Garlic crushed
 JW> 1 ts Salt
 JW> 1/2 c  Barbecue sauce or ketchup
 JW> 2 tb HP sauce
 JW> 1 tb Prepared mustard
 JW> 1 tb Vinegar
 JW> 1/4 c  Brown sugar
 JW> 1/2 ts Pepper
 JW> 
 JW> When camping or planning a bean supper when no oven is available,
 JW> try this version of baked beans, which is cooked over a camp fire or
 JW> on a barbecue.
 JW> 
 JW> Prepare beans using quick soak method. Combine soaked and drained
 JW> beans in a heavy saucepan with 5 cups water. In small skillet fry
 JW> bacon until crisp. Drain and crumble. Saute onion and garlic in
 JW> bacon drippings. Add crumbled bacon, onion mixture and salt to beans.
 JW> Bring to boil; reduce heat. cover and simmer until tender,
 JW> approximately 1 hour. Drain beans reserving liquid. Combine remaining
 JW> ingredients with 1/2 cup bean liquid. add to beans mixing well. cover
 JW> and simmer additional 30 minutes.
 JW> 
 JW> To make beans darker, add 1-2 tsp browning sauce. Browning sauce may
 JW> be used to darken any bean casserole...add a little at a time until
 JW> desired colour is obtained.
 JW> 
 JW> POINTER: At high altitudes, beans take longer to rehydrate and cook.
 JW> cooking times will increase substantially at 3,500 feet or more,
 JW> above sea level. Difficulty in cooking beans to desired tenderness
 JW> within specified cooking times is usually caused by hard water. some
 JW> cooks add a small amount of baking soda to counteract the problem,
 JW> however, this is not recommended as it will destroy the thiamin and
 JW> reduce the nutritional value. One solution to the problem is to use
 JW> purified bottled drinking water for soaking and cooking.

 IH> Salut/Hi ELEANOR CREIGHTON, 
Bonjour Ian.
It is nice to come back to the old echos again.  It is a nice relaxing break
from the studying and homework.
My other half told me his mother a british war bride refrigerated her honey
Personally I like my honey in liquid format because I eat it with
freshly baked bread, butter and honey and grilled cheese sandwiches (wierd but
delicious) Je remarque que tu souvien Je parle en francais.  I would love to
converse in French.  My home email is eacreighton@shaw.ca

 IH> Not really! An entirely appropriate response. There's absolutely no
 IH> need to keep honey in the fridge. The only thing wrong with Dave's
 IH> sugggestion is that it involves more work for you. I'm trying hard to
 IH> think of something that you could do that involved _less_ work for you.

 IH> (Oh... a good occasion to say "welcome back".)
