In Praise of Fray Bentos

Seems to have been on the Den.

Moving slightly off topic; which Goblin meat pudding would be recommended for a novice?
I saw some for sale yesterday but hesitated with the purchase, unsure as to which flavour was most popular.
I'm always up for trying something new and exotic.

That makes a £1 FB pie look ridiculously expensive!

Never has the phrase, 'you get what you pay for,' been more appropriate.

Not necessarily true.
ASDA and Morrison's are selling FB pies for £1.99.
They're only a quid in Poundland.
Same pie - half the price.

Same pie - half the price.

And the same amount of 'meat'.

I just didnt buy a Fray Bentos pie again.

Same place in Tescos - 2 quid - steak and kidney.

Stay posted and I'll come back to you when I next dont buy one.

You save more money if you don't buy one at Tesco, than if you don't buy one at Poundland.
Hang on.......I think I might be onto something here.......

When I can get into a B&M I intend to buy some steak & kidney puddings.

A bit like running behind a taxi saving you more than running behind a bus!

Nope, that's already been trademarked.

See....

Ah, the memories come vomiting back. That strip of chewy pastry around the edge, just at the interstice of "puff" and "gloop" - lovely. Could also be used as tooth floss.

Mind you, for a real treat we got Campbell's tinned meatballs in gravy. Nom.

Catering size tin?

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Heaven's no. One tin between 4. 3 if dad was backshift.

No, just poor

All this talk of classic foodstuffs has me hankering for a delicious Steak Canadian, nestled between two fresh slices of heavily buttered white Sunblest.
However, I can't find anywhere selling them for love nor money.
