Mince Beef Pies disappear from Supermarket shelves.

I have noticed a strange occurrence in main stream Supermarkets of late. Sainsburys, Tesco, Morrisons, M&S, Waitrose have all stopped selling own brand Mince Beef Pies.

Its weird and I wonder why.

Surly no one buys those tasteless dry blasphemy of pies, and so they stopped selling them.

Supermarkets don't bother with prejudice like that, they've got an amazing picture of what and how much people really buy.

M&S minced beef and onion slices are very tasty.

Something to do with pasty smashing?

Bring back the Dickmans Pie washed down with a bottle Nuke.

Main Stream Supermarket you say? Maybe they were fake pies.

Like with "Supersize Me", it didn't put me off ready meals, but I eat far less of them than I used too.

Like fast food, they are not exactly toxic, but I wouldn't want them as part of my staple eitherI have always felt that the meat you get in a ready meal or cheap pie is going to be the bits of the animal that are left over after all the more profitable cuts have been sold off seperatly.

It will be nutritious enough, but if you were cooking at home, it would be the bits that you would trim off and give to the Dog...

Ah Frey Bentos, I remember these fondly from my uni days. I still wonder how the hell the board room discussion went when the new guy rocked up with "Guys, lets shove a pie in a tin!".

I suppose it could have been a case of "Hey Jerry, remember that time I joked about shoving pies in tins in a management meeting.....and then they did it?"
