Words cannot describe how much I miss these suckers. Classic student food, the musical fruit, even the Tesco value ones are nom. But in Germany? You can’t really get them. Well that’s not technically true – you can get them in some places few and far between, but at about 2 Euros a tin, it’s gone from student food to a luxury. So I suppose if you’re REALLY craving some cheesy beans on toast, you could just pay the extra…

Cheesy beans on toast tended to be my pre-training meal back in Swansea, so I’m missing out on something nom (something yummy) AND something that is legitimately good energy food (…ok perhaps I should cut out the cheese a little, but still, I spend 2 hours punching pads/people or throwing them/being thrown and last the whole thing and then some if I run 5K beforehand ALL THANKS TO CHEESY BEANS ON TOAST thankyouverymuch)

As for a German replacement? I’m told that their beans tend to be a little different, with meaty corn beef type stuff included. I would imagine it would be a little bit like the beans and sausage variety – which I don’t like. I’ve yet to see them in the Supermarkt, but I’ll keep my eyes peeled, but I doubt I’ll try them unless I’m really really really desperate for cheesy beans on toast. Speaking of cheese, is it wrong that I am really considering spending about 3 euros on some Cathedral Cheddar Cheese?

I’m hungry now.
