Mince Beef Pies disappear from Supermarket shelves.

[Shocky-FM]

I bought some in Tesco the other day, they had loads.

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?"

Fray Bentos actually has a long and interesting history...

They're not pies. Frey Bentos sell meat soup with a pastry lid. That's not a pie.

That is interesting, consider me schooled sir.

I think you'll find it's a deconstructed meat pie in a beef reduction.

Why would you choose a mince and onion pie over a steak and onion? Second question is why would you buy either from a supermarket?

Because not everybody has the time to spend stewing beef?

We're talking about ready made pies...

What has the world come to when no one has time to stew beef anymore.

Mince Beef, Chips and Beans (Peas) was the main stay of colleges in Sheffield in the early 1990's. Every one we went to had the same mince beef, chips, and beans on every lunchtime. When you've grown up on it you miss it when its gone.

Been round quite a few supermarkets in West Yorkshire.
WHO ATE ALL THE MINCE BEEF PIES !!

Boxing Day I made Chicken Pie. New Years day I made Mince Beef Pie. Kids loved it. What is the world coming to when you cant buy a decent one.

Next time I go in I`m going to ask why they do not stock them any more. Then I`m going to write to Watchdog.

Personally I prefer Steak & Kidney.

Offal, lovely.

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

Agreed 100%. My mum works there and used to get them all the time. Then I moved out, what a fool I am.

Bought some minced beef and onion slices from Iceland a few days after Xmas.

 

[Outcast]

Probably for the same reason you can't buy Princes tuna in garlic & herb mayo !
Damn I used to love that.

Oh.. And "All Sauce" from HP (Aston)

[Edit]

Not forgetting Lincoln malt biscuits too

You can tell because its a GD thread about pie that has remained civil and relatively serious

I've noticed a custard cream shortage in Sainsburys the past few weeks - anyone else?

It was you who ate all the pies?
