In Praise of Fray Bentos

[midlife]

I had a friend who broke his jaw playing Frisbee. It was wired up for weeks. Couldn't brush his teeth.

Bad.......very bad........

I rest my (pie) case.

A Nerf might have finished him off !

For the love of God, this really is going to get past a thousand posts, isn't it? How much can you say about a shitty little product in a devastatingly dangerous can?

Well, there are always these: https://candwich.com/

Mercy, mercy! Please tell me that they don't do a version in a squirty plastic bottle.

Self heating cans as well. Could be dangerous in a pocket.

I also indulge in Fray Bentos corned beef, sandwiches for work and hash at home

All bases covered

You sure?

B&M's Chilli Beef, Chicken and Bacon, Just Chicken & Chicken Curry!

Not that bad.

I'll pick one up if I see one.
What wine would you recommend? I was thinking maybe a nice Malbec.

Don't do wine!
Guinness however....

My second choice would be a can of Special Brew.

Picked up a steak pie from Dickson's today. Identifiable filling, excellent pastry, not a fecking tin in sight.

Lovely.

£1.69. Or 4 for £5!

They were obviously skimping on the packaging.......

That was the FB 'K ration pie'.
A tasty nutritious meal for the front line troops that could instantly be turned into a devastating mid range weapon, with the deft use of a tin opener.

They were also effective as a makeshift booby trap - if placed unopened in an oven on a low light, after a couple of hours the resultant explosion was said to be powerful enough to take out a Tiger tank.
