In Praise of Fray Bentos

Fray Bentos Football

Here's the real FB club.

I wonder if the fans chant 'Who ate all the pies?'.

I think...."Dirk ate all the pies" has a better ring to it

I'm on a seafood diet ...see food and eat it

Combination of the seefood and religious diets here... See food, eat food, and then pray I don't put on any weight

When I hit my target weight I'll celebrate by pigging out on a FB feast and several pints of Proper Job.

My mum used to save the Fray Bentos pie tins and use them for cooking. I remember there was a little section of the cupboard with old pie tins that she used for various things. Probably for cooking pies in, come to think of it.

Nah.....they'd be no good for that!

I know it's probably a bit weird, but I love 'em.
Brings back childhood memories everytime I have one.
Any other afficianados?
Comfort food and only £1 a throw.

Yes, I love 'em too, although my club-mate who is a former chef thinks they are disgusting!
Word of caution though, Princes Foods also do a version which looks very, very similar and my wife did not notice. It tasted OK, but nowhere as good as the real thing. My wife doesn't care for them either so I am obliged to consume a whole one with just a few mushy peas. GORGEOUS ! ! ! Never had one in the caravan though, always too hungry to wait for them to cook.

Does it cook quicker?

Does it cook quicker?

Not that I'm aware.

I thought it might have been in half the time..........
