Well?Spotted this little stash of tasties today.
I had to ask if they were a pound each, or if it was a bargain bundle offer.

This is true, however a real pie with ‘proper’ pastry crimping & fresh gravy does not compare.Fray Bentos cannot be held responsible for your father's lack of culinary skills.

Thank god they weren't dead, alive he could use them for fish bait
. Back of the net "Prince Charles said: 'I remember eating Fray Bentos beef pies until they came out of my ears.'"
Blimey, with ears that size, THAT must have been an awful lot of pies!
