frey bentos

[agentx]

i remember posted something about frey bentos pie's, and just found this: http://www.approvedfood.co.uk/TINNED_FOOD/Frtey_Bentos_Bolognese_Meal_400g
no connections but thought might be good for the tin and the contents for the dog

I used to like FB pies, my gran used to make a wicked tea with pie and crinkle cut chips peas and gravy

My Mum forgot to open one before she shoved it in the oven for my brother's lunch. (Big brother's new girlfried had just phoned to talk and she was a bit distracted)
It exploded and sprayed a perfect ring around the kitchen as it blasted past the oven door seals ........not recommended, we needed a new cooker, and it took a week to scrape the damned stuff off the walls and ceiling before we could redecorate.

cheers,
M

the small individualy pies are just the right size to go in to a tea cake (bread bun to other folks).

Now that's surreal, night before last we were camping near Southampton and we shot into ASDA to grab food enough for the supper and brekfast and saw that very type.

Heres my lesson, read the label and don't be as gormless as I.

I saw the word "meal "and despite the can clearly showing pristine spaghetti with the goo on top assumed iit would be like the tinned spagetti of my youth.

Yup and they have allowed me to breed.

So supper was some rather runny goo, no spaghetti and some bread. Not very satisfying.

Incidentally it wasn't bad as such, only if compared to the real thing.

D'oh!

Erm.... purely holocaust food I reckon, and even then, I think I'd rather eat my own gentlemen's vegetables first.
I used to like em as a kid though.

I love them, they are just the thing to keep in store if you have sudden visitors

 

[mattweasel]

All pies are wonderful, unless someone evil puts cheese in them.

Try and say Frey Bentos without smiling, I can't. They remind me of my youth.

Prior to sailing from England just over a year ago I arranged with the local Azda manager for a bulk buy of FB pies, otherwise it would have meant clearing the shelf of the stock on display. I got some very strange looks at the checkout when I toddled up with a trolley load of pies.
There was a brief terrifying period when I almost ran out of FB's on voyage, but I was able to re-stock at Morrisons in Gibraltar..so life can go on...

No otherside of the Pennines by a long chalk - now moves west to Bradford. Just like my stodge.

also good in a giant yorkshire pudding with mash

food of the gods! the tins make a brilliant cheap plate/bowl, i always have at least one in my rucskack, they're perfect for doing bannock.

cheers

it's all they eat in the argentine, frey bentos and cheap red wine (anyone who recognises this quote should be ashamed of themselves!)
