I cook pork pies in a pan with sloppy mushy peas.....almost the same. I think a take away in Skipton does the same

Have you approached Fray Bentos with the idea?
This time next year Rodders........

Is there a German equivalent to FB pies?
I'll check out ALDI & LIDL this morning.

Well....I scoped out ALDI & LIDL this morning and nary a tinned poy to be had anywhere!
It's obvious to me that there's an opportunity here for some enterprising soul.
'Frau Bentos' anyone?

I wish this thread would drop off the first page of new posts. Inspired by it, I went out and bought a butchers steak pie, large, 4 of your quids and 35 pennies, made by them, full of meat and full of taste. Considering a steak slice costs about 1.80 from a Sayers type place, this is a bargain and contains enough meat for 16 Fray Bentos pies. I realize I'm straying from the path of tinnery, for which I apologise, but......... It is is in a tin foil base, so...........

All well and good, but would it still be so tempting after a year on the cupboard shelf?

It's gonna be lucky to last until tomorrow.

That makes a £1 FB pie look ridiculously expensive!

No scrap value though.

I've always wondered what tinned bacon tastes like...
