beans on toast

adj. describes something that it is really good, not completely spectacular perhaps, but definitely worth praising. If it's extra special, 'beans on toast with cheese on top' is also appropriate.

As an aside, I'd like to take issue with 'anonymous' who has also posted a definition of 'beans on toast'.

Firstly, is this website a recipe board of some sort? Don't the definitions have to have an alternative or slang meaning? Will we be seeing 'cheeseburger, a beef patty between two halves of a sesame seed bun' on here next?

Secondly, not even the British consider beans on toast a delicacy. It's a quick and easy snack, that's all.

Thirdly, 'why do you need the toast?' Why not have toast? Do you only ever eat one food group at a time? Are you saying you'd eat spaghetti bolognese without the spaghetti? Or is this some sort of Atkins diet concern you have?

Aaaand relax...

How many beans make 5?

It's a British sort of joke phrase such that when asked the reply or answer is:

Bean, bean, bean and a half, half a bean and a bean.

My father used to ask me this when I was young and it was told to me as,

"Two beans, a bean and a half, half a bean and a bean."

After looking at various sources trying to figure out why anyone started saying this at all, I came across many versions. They all seem to contain most of the following parts in some arrangement: two beans, a bean, bean and a half and half a bean. I decided on this version because if listen you can hear the rhythm like a poem.

"Bean, bean, bean and a half, half a bean and a bean."

Oddly about 1 in 5 of the answers didn't actually add up to 5 beans.
The father turned to his little boy and asked, "How many beans make 5?" To which his son replied with great enthusiasm,
"Bean, bean, bean and a half, half a bean and a bean!"
