....in LOVING Fray Bentos pies in a tin

[Hopelesslydisorganised]

blop blop blop slurp

Mmmmmmmmmm! Puff pastry full of salt, about three bits of steak in a gloopy gravy and a side order of ............ vegetables (you thought I was gonna say "chips" admit it). Lovely - delicious and real peasant fodder.

Ahhhh, a guilty pleasure what with the soggy pastry & everything!

Bloody love those when i'm feeling dirty, also rather partial to goblin steak and kidney puddings

Me too.

It's holiday-in-a-caravan food though. And very nice for all that

No but I love Findus Crispy Pancakes.

Really? Fray Bentos pies were an actual treat when I was a kid but I haven't had one for years. I was momentarily tempted when I saw some in the shop the other day but demurred as I thought they couldn't possibly live up to my childhood memories. Do they still taste good?

I've got two hidden in the cupboard and when DH is out tomorrow I'm going to have one, maybe two for my lunch. I deserve it after the shit day I've had. They're bloody lovely.

YABU DP likes them and its all I can do to stop myself dry heaving when I see him wolfing one down .

Most definitely not unreasonable, cos they are excellent. Especially when it's cold and dark outside and you're in the warm (although that's probably just my associations _).

Oh these were a staple part of our diet when I was a kid. Mum wasn't much of a cook. But I loved them. And Vesta Beef Curry. Takes me right back to the seventies. Shame I'm a veggie now.

Havent had one for ages, because I prefer shortcrust pastry, but maybe next shopping trip.......nom nom

Takes me back to childhood too - had one today as they were £1 in Asda. Waiting for someone who knows about nutrition to turn up and tell me I was robbed of my £1

Oh yum I've got such a craving now.

Ooh, and Vesta Paella, I loved those.

Hmm, I wonder if my Tescos has a '70's shelf', (you know, like they have a 'Polish shelf' and 'Luxury shelf'

YANBU it's been years since I had one of these, and now I want one. Although as DH already thinks I have totally chavtastic taste in food as it is will have to wait until he's out for the night! Would also probably need a tin of new potatoes and a serving of sweetcorn on the side to truly recreate one of my childhood faves.

They are great, especially with Smash!

whispers... they're £1 a pie in Iceland at the moment

Mmmm, Steak and Ale YANBU

When I was a child we used to share one Frey Bentos Pie between three of us

YABU

So is anyone that eats Spam, or corned beef. I have never been able to bring myself to even try any of these.

Pot Noodles, OTOH... (no meat so acceptable )

i want a 70's shelf with turkey fingers and smash on it

OMG! YABVU, should you even have to ask?

Yum at a 'Chicken' and Mushroom Frey Bentos... I don't even care if its made from eyes and penis tbh, it taste good... curse this diet. :(

Nothing wrong with liking Frey Bentos !! It takes me back to the 70's. I occassionally love to buy a jar of cockles in vingegar...it takes me right back to a childhood moment

I have a sudden hankering for Chicken Supreme from a tin. I'm dead classy me.

Your right about the amount of meat but gravy is yum, and why is it their soggy pastry is nice?
