Anyone else a fan of this pie in a tin? Cooking myself a Steak & Ale one but i have a random question...how many of you actually eat it in the tin or try and scoop it out?

Discuss Fray Bentos.

I do have the steak pies from time to time, I do really like them as a back up when I've forgotten to get meat out of the freezer.

Eaten out of tin, with potatoes and some other veg on the side

Eat it in the tin - scooping it out is just not worth thinking about in terms of potential extra cleaning and washing up to do.

I personally don't like them that much. Home made pies for the win

Van Hellseek · 2 Mar 2008 at 21:14

Never had one. Do pies in a tin look as delicious as those canned cheeseburgers?

TaKeN · 2 Mar 2008 at 21:14

I havn't eaten one of these for ages ( Usualy have half )

Steak & Ale is scrummy though

Bit unhealthy mind

BrightonBelle · 2 Mar 2008 at 21:14

Never eat in the packaging!!! So neanderthal!! Ha ha!!

I always have veg and pots with pie so need a plate!

Enjoy! I think I had a chicken and mushroom one once and was pleasantly surprised.

SideWinder · 2 Mar 2008 at 21:15

See i'm really tempted to somehow scoop it all out and cover my wedges with the sauce and so on..just one big mess.

Shut up.

I really do wonder what the conversation went like to come up with these.

Marketing Chap: Right guys, we need something that's going to be appealling to lazy guys and all that. Any ideas?
Marketing Chap 2: Erm, maybe some chocolate endorsed by a footballer?
Marketing Chap 3: Go joint with McDonald's on something?
Marketing Chap 4: PIE IN A TIN.

Ahhh - Goblin meat puddings

That is the brand is Goblin, not Gobbling meat puddings, nor puddings made out of goblins (which may not actually exist).

Akira · 2 Mar 2008 at 21:34

Never tried the Goblin ones, but I'm partial to the odd Fray Bentos. I KNOW they're made with the leftovers and sweepings, but they're just so.....bah I dunno. It's hard to get all the pastry risen without burning the outside though.

Fray Bentos = Out of the tin and over the chips.

Goblin Puddings = Extremely tasty and resemble a 40mm Grenade! - http://www.gobblinggoblin.co.uk/

Steak & Ale are the best, eaten out of tin, sometimes with beans added inside the pie - its good

I don't quite know why I have a picture to hand, but I do for some reason...

I normaly scoop it out and have it with chips and beans and brown sauce. Lovely
