Fray Bentos tinned pies...

Fray Bentos is a port in Uruguay and is now a world heritage site.  Many people are unaware of this

Eat em, you cant beat em.

Sure that was their slogan.

MARVELLOUS STUFFED PIESY!

Thought Tad was back

Pie minister or Charlie binghams.

A disgusted father found live maggots in a Fray Bentos pie he was just about to cook for his children.

The electrician was going to cook the Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie for the family's evening dinner on Monday, March 2 when he saw there was some pastry missing.

He looked more closely and was was shocked to discover three maggots crawling out of the filling.

Impossible, these pies are airtight.

Maggots can breathe through their bottoms, which is probably quite convenient when consuming quantities of Fray Bentos pie

I know this is seriously reactionary, but I bet I am not the only one who looked at the children's names, and thought...... Perhaps?
Baxters still waiting for the return of the errant pie
.

At least the electricians pie had some protein in it , you just can't help some people ,

I may stand corrected here but I'm sure their slogan was "no lumps of fat or gristle guaranteed"

The number-one offal-based dinner solution for the single gentleman.

I thought (along with plumbers) electricians were the "Prima Donnas" of the construction industry!

They certainly know how to live....A Fray Bentos Pie between five of them!

Yeah, ok, he was probably going to supplement it with that other staple 'Instant Mash'!

Hard to comprehend this though! Despite the ability to, allegedly breathe through their bums, they couldn't breathe non existent air!

That plus the fact that the pie would be several weeks old by the time it was in the hands of this super-chef, kind of rubbishes the whole story.

Aha....he was going to cook it for the children, meaning that he and Mrs Pay (good name for a rip off electrician) were no doubt about to enjoy
a take-away curry or similar!

Screaming - I believe it was Heston Blumenthal who stated that "the last great cheap luxury food" is KIDNEYS.

I put most current health problems down to the decline in eating offal. All power to Fray Bentos steak and kidney pies - there's always some shop somewhere you can find civilization and nutrition at a quid/tin ... Poundstretchers, Lidl etc.

As Len Deighton put it in his Action Cook Book: if you don't like liver, learn to like it - you need it.

Potatoes, apples and onions fried in butter, with duck livers pre-soaked in milk and seasoned with ground pepper added to the pan at the end for 2 or 3 minutes/side - Himmel und Erde (heaven and earth) the Germans call it.

My Favourite Travel and Food show has to be any thing hosted by Anthony Bourdain.
He has probably eaten at most of the best diners anywhere on the planet which
elevates his favourite restaurant Fergal Henderson's ST JOHN in Smithfield to empyrean heights.
Fergal's whole Menu is bases around Offal.

Northern gentlemen prefer Babies Heads...
