Maybe also FB and mushy pea flavoured vape ciggiesPhew! It's too hot for FB pies.
Maybe there's a marketing opportunity for some enterprising person to come up with a frozen pie on a stick or FB flavour ice cream?
. That'd be a lot better than those sickly sweet strawberry and cream soda type lavours we have to breath in!

On the subject of Fray Bentos in Uruguay,my town Great Harwood used to have Brooke-Bond Oxo as it's biggest employer. The company upped and went to Berkshire in the 1980's when the council refused it expansion permission. During working hours most of the town had a whiff of Oxo,Bovril,and pies hanging over it.. 
Then across town we had XL Crisps making different flavours each day. They all smelt nice, apart from when it was cheese flavour day.

[QUOTE 5306908, member: 259"]Nice travel article in the Grauniad, in praise of the town of Fray Bentos in Uruguay.
Apparently there's a monument to corned beef in the middle of the town square.

The grand opening took some time though
The key had fallen off

I had a butter pie for my tea/supper last night. I had it with with baked beans and green beans,oh and i had half a sliced onion on top just to give it a bit of zing. I'm thinking that butter pies are like spud pies but without those little pieces of meat. There was a bakers/confectioners on my window cleaning round. I saw them one day pouring some bright yellow goo out of a gallon container into some pie mix. I asked what it was . The baker told me it was butter flavour. "Not real butter then" i asked. "No just flavour not butter" he replied. Maybe it was butter but they can't call it that unless it passes strict EU laws?

There might be a temporary shortage now, but after Brexit we'll all be eating Fray Bentos at the government's expense!
Excellent!
