Have you ever eaten a fray bentos pie?

[purplepoppy]

It's a pie in a tin. You remove the lid and cook in the oven. I had one once, I wasn't impressed but some people like them.

I've had one

Nope

I'd rather eat the tin

[Anonymous]

Yeah, they aren't great but the point is that it is in a tin which means it will essentially keep forever and you don't have to do anything special to store it like put it in in fridge or freezer.

I wouldn't pay full price for them but you can get these things for literally £1 at times which is a steal really if you like to keep some SHTF type foods around.

Yeah, my great-uncle used to work for a canning plant and got an allocation of stuff he then resell to my parents as well as other family members... loads of them worked in food plants and got similar schimes

Wouldn't eat them now

Looks like a variation of Sara Lee in the US, except Sara Lee products come in boxes rather than tins.

[purplepoppy]

Sara Lee does cakes here

[SaoirseS]

They have some cakes here too, but groceries have a larger selection of pies. They'll do in a pinch but they're not exactly that tasty.

[Agape93]

Nope but I've made similar

[AviatorTom]

In the US, we have something similar, called a pot pie, which I occasionally eat (easy to prepare, just nuke it for 2 minutes) but I've never had a fray bentos pie.

[goaded]

We used to use one of the tins as a water bowl for our dogs in the 1970s. I guess we ate some, but I don't really remember. I saw an article about the company once, it's South American, iirc.

Only the cheese and onion ones.

They were fucking marvellous, when the supermarket doesn't have good quiche

[BungusHighFivePizza]

I have not tried it but I never liked dishes fully covered in the oven, like ones wrapped entirely in aluminum foil. They always seem to disperse too much liquid at the bottom.

Rick Astley loves pie.

[mstbooblover]

Sorry, never heard about fray bentos pie. Anyway not the kind of stuff I'm prone to buy and eat.

[Kylie_M]

Nope I've never had one :3. It looks good though I think!

[Nirghata_Vrishaghata]

I’ll pass.

this crap is disgusting.

[Inquisitive98]

Never tried it. It looks interesting

[exitseven]

i will eat the tin instead

[Iron_Man]

What kind of meat is it?

[purplepoppy]

Allegedly beef but I swear mine had half an eyeball in it.

[Iron_Man]

Oh wow that’s not appealing a half an eye? Uoi Gotta make sure you’re getting good quality beef and stay away from markets that you’re not familiar with that are real cheap

[Iron_Man]

You got to

[Mansearching]

Nope. Can't say I have.

[Wise4myage]

No, but it looks delicious.

[KostasKouvalis]

I don't think so

[Andres77]

Not yet

[Debbie14217]
