If any UK people happen to be on just now...

Can you tell me if Fray Bentos pies are actually any good? and if so, which is the best? (Been wanting to buy some and have them shipped to try)

Pastry tends to be dry and flaky on top but sometimes a bit stodgy and undercooked underneath.
That said, it is something i use as a 'cupboard filler'. You know. Like having tins of soup or a packet of crackers handy...just in case.

@Picklebobble2 right!, my ex fiance(scottish) used to love them fiercely, but i never got a chance to try them, it was always the crust i was seeing? the top part that was all flaky looking, iot looked amazing, and it makes me want to try one to see if they're as good as they looked

@DancingStarGoddess The pastry it has to be said is pretty good but the filling can be a bit on the light side.
That said, if you add a vegetable or two it's a half-decent meal.

@Picklebobble2 thank you! that sounds like it would be pretty decent actually
