Kenwood Bean Fountain

pour beans and dip in toast

Kenwood Bean Fountain works exactly like a chocolate fountain except it delivers a constant cascading stream of baked beans.

Some minor adjustments to the machinery, (see link) and heating elements ensure that the beans are neither boiling hot; chewed up by the central Archimedes auger (that's what I'm calling it anyway) nor allowed to become too sticky or runny.

Simply dip in your toasted bread and enjoy!

Concerning original ideas http://basicinstruc...thing-original.html
Relevant only to an off-topic anno thread. I can't remember which 'Baker brought this comic to my attention, but I am most thankful. [Alterother, Mar 25 2012]

       Given a chance to cycle it could be self-heating too.

       I cannot think of anything more disgusting than this that is not already prohibited by statute.

       I always aim to please :-) Already working on the mozzarella version!

       Bovril fountain.
Alterother, Mar 23 2012
  

       Partially baked, at least. No pun intended this time, I promise. See [link] to the clip from The Who's film Tommy.

       I dislike mushy peas, but there are many who appreciate them, so this idea might be better suited to a pea mushing fountain for a fish 'n chip shop.   

       <off-topic>I have just realised that [beanangel] is probably 'be an angel' rather than 'bean angel' as I had previously assumed.</off-topic>

       Mushy peas - excellent idea! I love mushy peas.

       I raise you one Durian fountain...   

       <aside>Sorry, but that's "The Iveagh Bequest at Kenwood", not Kenwood, I used to work there and the curator was most clear on the matter...</a>

       //[beanangel] is probably 'be an angel'// It is; he said so once. Even knowing that, I can't help reading it as bean angel.   

       why did Treon change his name??

       and what's a bean angel?

       I don't know but that's one heck of an idea list for someone who created their account today...

       I think I may create kinder ideas with be an angel   

       you know more radiance

       //that's "The Iveagh Bequest at Kenwood", not Kenwood//   

       OK. All we need now is a way to photograph a place without photographing any objects, bequeathed or otherwise, which might be at that place at the time. The physics could be a challenge.
pertinax, Mar 25 2012
  

       //and what's a bean angel?// A Heinz bean instead of a has been.

       It's almost impossible to have an original thought on this site these days.

       Mouse-based forestry. Make all coins look the same. Wearable nouns. Kinetic spaghetti. Photosynthetic toilet tissue. Lead-free tennis balls. Artificial bricks. Bagpipe amnesty. Robotic snowflake tesselator. Fireproof telephones. Global Provisioning Cistern. Submerge Switzerland. Fortune Wookies.

       [marked-for-tagline] and a poster I'm going to put up in my office (an advertising agency).

       Baked.

       //Baked// Not made with an integral lubricant they're not.
MaxwellBuchanan, Mar 25 2012
  

       So are beans.

       //Mouse-based forestry.// Poor Uncle Xerxes. He wanted to go into forestry, but succumbed to pressure from his parents, who didn't consider it a respectable profession.   

       //...robotic snowflake tesselator...// Hmm, not bad.
mouseposture, Mar 25 2012
  

       //It's almost impossible to have an original thought on this site these days.// I totally disagree - in fact I think it's the opposite. The more ideas there are, the more new ones they generate. I only ever post a small portion of mine on a constant trickle basis. Trickle or Treacle? - ha :-)
xenzag, Mar 25 2012
  

       Anyone else find that their ideas come in spurts?
wait...
  

       //Lead-free tennis balls// My brother once made a lead-filled tennis ball, thus creating, in a relative way, billions of lead-free tennis balls.
spidermother, Mar 25 2012
  

       Leaving aside the lead-free tennis balls for a moment, I was wondering if it would be possible to hijack a working, but not that dangerous, volcano.   

       By drilling a hole into the central vent it might be possible to inject uncooked beans in water and have them cooked and ejected in the next eruption?

       I'd run a pilot scheme with a geyser first.
