Fray Bentos pie-in-a-tin

[Shmo]

I had a steak and ale and it was edible but not as good as the cheapest steak and ale pie that I've got from a pub. Eli Jenkins pub here does pie with chips and peas for £2.99 and is much better than the fray bentos. Still for lazy food it's acceptable.

One can only imagine the horror that lurks inside their 'Steak & Kidney Pudding', *shudder*.

The complete oppposite strangely - not as good as home made but perfectly acceptable for shop bought.

I remembered the pies being nice from my youth but one I had a few years ago went straight in the bin - just not nice, although the pastry was good in a strange way.

i like them cook them and transfer to a giant yorkshire pudding and some veg as well!

 

[wannabedamned]

hmm, such mixed reactions. Makes me think I need to try one.

I'd rather a Birdseye or supermarket own frozen pie than the FB gashness! *blergh*

how dare you sir!

a fray bentos pie is the nectar of the gods,

they're almost as good as pot noodles.

Dude your wrong on both counts the pies taste like **** and unlike Lister I have yet to find a pot noodle that actually tastes good

Totally agreed. Pot noodle is absolutely disgusting these days.

(Nissin Cup noodle is the winner by miles...)

A housemate at Uni ate these religiously. He was a nut, repressed homosexual and a crap ninja though, so go figure.

I like Fray Bentos pies. I swapped a car for one once.

I love a fray Bentos pie... couple of pieces of bread and eaten out of the tin... lovely jubbly. Maybe its my northern pallet that allows me to enjoy its delightful taste.

I don't mind the odd Fray Bentos...

They are better than almost any other meal in a can/ready meal IMO.

Most canned food is vile.

As for normal ready meals, most are miles above FB, even say a bog standard Tesco Lasagne/Cannelloni

Full-English in a can is awesome.

Wrongness!

The only canned stuff I touch is beans/soup/corn/seafood

 

[milkinc13]

havn't had a Fray Bentos in years, to many years to remember

 

[EvilGrin]

If you're going to eat your food out of a can you may as well do it properly.

^ Awesome!
