Baked beans are a dish of haricot beans which have been baked, and then canned in a tomato sauce usually sweetened with sugar, sometimes with honey. The origins of baked beans is obscure, the people of Boston, Massachusetts claiming a heritage of slowly baking beans in molasses since the 17th century, other sources suggest that beans in tomato sauce are a native American dish or possibly an Italian dish. Tinned baked beans were first produced in America during the later half of the 19th century and then in Great Britain in 1928 by the American Heinz company. By the 1950's baked beans were widespread and popular as a snack food throughout Britain.
