I'VE DONE IT!
I know what some of you have been saying, like 'Yes, he may be a culinary genius, but I bet he can't manage baked beans'.
Well... HAH! I have now proved all you nay-sayers wrong! I have done it! I have cooked and eaten baked beans!
Cooking instructions for this will go in my guide to cooking asap - I am aware how badly students of the world need this information, and I will endeavour to have it on there by the end of the evening.
