In Praise of Fray Bentos

[classic33]

Only some -lots still have the dreaded key...

 

[slowmotion]

In my travelling days, the locals just rammed a "Crocodile Dundee" knife in the top of all metal cans, and cut a hole. I've done the same when a plastic Fort Knox Tesco soup container came in the way of my hunger. I'm well hard.

I can't think of a single reason why people should not be warned of this terrible risk.

Bunch of snowflakes!
No pain - No gain.
We ought to be campaigning for more challenging packaging of everyday items.

People with slashed fingers should come forward to bring to the attention of the media the true extent of this outrageous digital abuse.

Do they still print the warning on the cans?

I've a pie in the oven.

Ye Gods! They still exist.

How do you gain access to this food of the Gods? Surely a sharp tool must be needed?

Yebbut.......cooking is the last thing on your mind when you have a Fray Bentos in your sordid "Young Ones" kitchen. Going to the pubs, clubs, and meeting girls is far more important than sensible nutrition at that stage of your life. Long may it remain so.

Point taken . And agreed with . Although cooking did get me places s person of my looks n abilities wouldn’t normally be associated with.

Mine did, until a short while ago.

Now to put the tin in the post on Monday.

The sight of those tins brought back some painful memories. Fortunately I have an emotional support Argentinian cow to help me cope. I may eat her for Sunday supper. She's a bit too big to flush.

I searched, in vain, yesterday for a FB Chicken & Mushroom pie - none to be had!
I'll have to extend the range of my search tomorrow......

Asda, Morrisons?

I was thinking more like BJs Bargain Warehouse.

It's God's* way of saying "don't bother, they're rank"
