It's good lunch

Or are you ashamed there's no article on it? I feel like it's pretty self-explanatory

The basics are pretty self-explanatory to Britons, but:

Which type of beans is it?
Does it have to have a tomato sauce?
Did you know you can put melted cheese on it?
Did you know that beans were good for your heart, but the more you eat, the more you fart?
How many servings are made per year?
If you put all those servings end-to-end, how far would it go?
Okay, but what's that in double-decker buses or olympic swimming pools?
Does anyone outside the UK eat it, or similar meals?
Who invented it? Where?
Did you know that in London, they don't have bread, so they have beans on eels instead? (citation needed)

Plenty of info/questions/facts to be found.
