Baked beans have been given a posh makeover by Fortnum & Mason. The 18th-century department store known for its rather posh preserves is selling a brand which has added onions, apple - and even bacon to the humble baked bean. While the concoction certainly sounds palatable, the price might make you think twice. At £3.95 for a pot of Proper Beans it's a big ask to dig deep for what you're used to spending no more than £1 on. But we conducted a taste test and found these beans are twice as good as Heinz - and 10 times tastier than Waitrose.
