Perhaps on the baking thread? Let's face it, no self respecting baker would look for inspiration on a thread about Fray Bentos pies!!

I dunno........I bet there's a fair number out there that are secret Fray Bentos fans. They couldn't possibly admit it in public though.

If anyone's interested I can PM them the details of my Fray Bentos Pies Appreciation Society. It's a secret society, so make sure you keep a lid on it.

So today was my fur Fray Bentos pie. Chicken.

Not overly impressed. Chicken looked a bit funny to me. Bottom pastry a bit too soft.

Is there a trick to this?

Open can, 25 mins @200°C, eat from can?

Bottom pastry?
Are you sure it was a genuine FB pie and not a cheap Chinese copy?

 

[roadrash]

I haent tried the chicken , I don't like any chicken pies but ive never had a FB pie with bottom pastry

Have Fray Bentos oven bottoms been mentioned yet? They're full FB pies on big teacakes/muffins, or whatever they're called where you come from.

[QUOTE 5166686, member: 259"]200 degrees is a bit on the cool side. You're better off whacking it up to 220, and put the tin on a nice thick baking sheet. You'll always get a bit of gloopy pastry though, it's rank.[/QUOTE]

FTFY.

No serious stuff! I don't know if it was available to buy in shops,but i knew of one chap who had such a delicacy for his tea quite often. Often accompanied with a side order of a tin of mushy peas.
