In Praise of Fray Bentos

[classic33]

How would you eat one of those at a football match?

Carefully!!

I was really looking forward to this as I have never eaten one before.

What a let down
The pastry collapsed and there was very little filling, which wasn't very tasty. Not again.

It was the carrots and cabbage that spoiled it........

The FB tour of GB. Yes it has a certain ring to it! Not as classy as "The TdF" but still a catchy title.

Never knew Fray Bentos factory was a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Are you washing it down with Blue Nun?

 

[robrinay]

Or Piat d’Or? Actually I like Blue Nun and Mateus Rosé, I don’t care what people say. I also like Wolf Blass yellow label so a bit of a contrast really? My parents had a caravan in the 60’s and 70’s and there was always an ‘emergency’ food store under one of the bunks including Fray Bentos tinned pies, corned beef tinned peas and Cadbury’s Smash - luxury for a poor student son who wanted to conserve his grant for beer
