marsh man Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Good honest grub if you ask me Simon , at one time when money was tight ( things haven't changed much ) we use to buy those flat oval tins that contained a pie of sorts ( Fray Bentos ? ) nothing to write home about but for a quid you couldn't go far wrong .

RCB56 Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Fray Bentos pie tins were great to rest you paint brushes in after you ate the pie with chips, peas and bread&butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still use one to stand the wet gun in nose down while oiling it. The tins were far better than the awful pies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGoose75 Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 A man after my own heart ditchman! Have that dinner usually once a week. I used to make my own pies 🥧 but the butcher ones I get are quality. Mostly steak, but sometimes mince and onion or chicken and ham. He used to do a lovely chicken curry one, but discontinued it as it wasn't a good seller. Some people have no taste 🙄 Served with handcut , dripping cooked chips from local spuds. PS Frey Bentos where OK but the soggy pastry was very off putting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should had manned up Bob and said you were not that keen but if there is nothing else then they will do . I was told before I got married that you started off how you intend to carry on , I'm still married to the same woman after nearly 50 years, but the man who told me was divorced years ago .

Wylye Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Our local butcher sells his own snake and pigmy pie and they are fantastic! With chips and proper mushy peas ie. soaked overnight, it is a feast to behold. Not bad with mash and various veg either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billytheghillie Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Come on Ditchy, show some effort. Even i managed to make a corn dog pie the other day from scratch, home made shortcrust pastry easy to make, i make big batches and freeze them. I admit i didnt make the puff pastry ( Lidls ) .
