Aside from the more common haricot vert, haricort orange is the redder shade of bean most commonly sold in tins. It is a common misconception that "orange" refers to a degree of citrus flavouring however this is not the case, it actually relates to the reddish tinge forced upon the haricot by the tomato sauce.
Haricot orange are a bit of a working class and student delicacy in the UK and best served on toasted bread with lashings of HP sauce.
