This summer, an international soccer tournament opened the door for new audiences to fall in love with the sport, but it also exposed locals and travelers to food culture, novel flavors and pairings, and now, Bush's is sharing a taste of one of Britain's most beloved comfort foods with a limited-edition Beans on Toast Kit. This kit spotlights the all-new Bush's Beans on Toast Baked Beans, inspired by an iconic recipe that matches navy beans with a rich, tomato-based sauce.
Creating baked beans on toast at home is easy with the kit, since it contains Bush's Beans on Toast Baked Beans, slices of white bread, plus a beans-on-toast-inspired soccer jersey. Online, every business day through August 5th, Bush's is dropping a limited number of kits for fans.
