WyattSheepMask Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Used to have Frey Bentos loads when I was in my teens and then didn't have one for years and when I had one again I just couldn't get passed that it did just look like dog food once you get past the pastry. Not had one since. Â A friend of mine puts Curry sauce on his fish & chips, now that's just wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll usually order a side of mushy peas and a pot of curry sauce with my fish and chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Curry on fish though? No thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted October 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) It's good, give it a bash! Â Also, I've never eaten a Fray Bentos pie in my life, but I might be tempted to try one this weekend for a lazy lunch. Generally speaking though, I do fall into the 'ain't a real pie if it's got no base' camp. Annoys me if I order a Steak & Ale in a pub and it comes as a stew in a pot. Â Fray Bentos just always makes me think of David Brent. Edited October 24, 2014 by Arch Stanton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 You can pick them up for about £1.50 in Iceland. For the value and delicious cheep meat you get it's hard to complain about the lack of pastry on the bottom.  I've not actually had one in a year or two but I might relive my uni days this weekend and get the old meal in a tin.

King Pitcos Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Don't pay £1.50! My rule with Fray Bentos pies is to never pay over a pound, and you can always get one for that somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yeah on second thoughts you'll get them cheaper at the pound shops. Just check those use by dates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Maestro Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Fray Bentos is a town in Uruguay as well as a not so delicious pie. I wonder if there's a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 They clearly tried a delicious Fray Bentos pie and named thier town after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted October 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted October 24, 2014 I used to love those Goblin meat puddings that you boiled in the tin. They're not as nice now they come in what is essentially a recycled yoghurt pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators neil Posted October 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 24, 2014 How does everyone tackle a pie? (A proper one with a base that is). I eat mine like a total spacker. I chisel the lid off and put it aside. I then eat the contents out and then remove the pastry sides and eat those. Finally I consume the delicious soggy base followed by eating the lid like a cracker. Yeah, it's weird. Â Needless to say I do not eat a pie like that in public.

I love that you've made a fuss about a real pie having to be fully enclosed, only so that you can deconstruct the fucking thing before eating it.
