Fray Bentos pie

My mother bought one in the mid 70s. By 1981, we'd still not managed to get the lid off, so threw it in the bin.

JOCI Club......early ones are worth a fortune, not for the contents alone, but for the Iconic
brand, for packaging collectors!

One from the 70s realised over £10k!

Bloody ridiculous I know!

My advice would be to buy some now, and keep them for thirty years, as part of your
pension portfolio (just avoid the temptation of eating them)!

one of the deadliest things know to man, along with corned beef can,s only to be handeld with care,or by profesional,s  aldi do one simalar to fray bentos if you find any meat in it,   you win a car

On offer in Poundland, you guessed it £1

Might have some old chips in the pockets of my harrington jacket if we can get the geezers No

Absolute Genius imo. A pie in a tin!

Marvellous Puff (pastry) Sparky

My can opener was broke so i tried to open one with a Knife and a Hammer..........Fookin Nightmare.

I am sure you would Uruguay with me they are great pies.

Paultadhunter used to eat nothing else, mind you I was never convinced he was the full shilling to be fair.

i used to have to open them with a knife, no hammer neccesary though, cant believe i never cut myself lol

Absolute genius in a tin.Ask Heston to knock one up and you'd see the true meaning of fear in his eyes!

I remember years ago going to a girls house for dinner, we had been out 2 or 3 times and her parents wanted to meet me, she told me they had pushed the boat out and had splashed out, I nearly fainted when this pie was produced, followed by tinned fruit cocktail with carnation milk, they lived in Gravesend, made me feel posh

.

did they open a watneys party 7 after

Gravesend ffs

Pikeys moved away for a better life

The steak and kidney puddings are good, too. Suet, kidney, brown "meat", and more suet ... mmm ... and a damn sight easier to remove from the tin when heated.

So much tastier if you leave the lid on.

All those different flavours, genius
