well, it's a pie in a can, so it is what it is.
I remember eating them when I was younger and I enjoyed, maybe I was starving hungry.
It's kinda like fancy dog food.. lol

I wouldn't buy them for my kids.

@SW-User It doesn't look or smell good and neither does a Fray Bentos pie but at least you're aware of what shit consists of.

@DancingStarGoddess no worries, it's in suet case instead of pastry

Fresh pies are much nicer - personally I wouldn't try them

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

NO, don’t, smells like dog meat
@BigGuy2 Really? Damn but they look so yummy. I have an ex who eats the things like they're the most delicious thing ever.

Never had a Fay Bentos pie, but I remember their tinned corned beef from years ago. I miss it.

They are OK if somewhat processed in taste, and made for a previous age when people didn't have freezers. Given the choice I'd buy fresh or chilled. Last had one a few years ago. They're freely available here.

No ... they're awful
supersnipe · 61-69, M
They are available in a supermarket a mile and a half from here. I am not a regular buyer, even so. They have a certain curiosity value, but they aren't exactly [i]haute cuisine.[/i] Their main virtue is that bein sold in a sealed metal container, they keep.
I used to love them as a child. Recently ordered some for delivery to Sweden (steak and kidney). Exactly as I remembered!

They are not haute cuisine but they are tasty and the pastry is miraculous :)

Have you tried it then
@BigGuy2 Never got the chance to. I don't think my stomach could handle it these days anyway though.
