Question, has anyone ever managed to open a Fray Bentos pie tin without having to resort to a hammer and chisel or angle grinder?
I've had mixed success with can openers but I can confirm that screwdrivers do the trick with minimal lacerations.
I can also confirm that the pie filling is still as sparse as ever with them only containing 3-4 small pieces of mystery meat.
They are not for opening, just keeping in the pantry for years as an encouragement to steal the cheese from the mousetraps when the cupboard is bare bar the tinned 'pie'...
Drill a hole and suck it out with a straw.
The 'meat' is tiny and the pastry toupee is a form of slime when raw so it'll come out easily.
and when the pastry is cooked it becomes denser than Artex and if cut right you could stab someone with it.
For the uncultured Americans here are two pictures of the tinned "pie" in its cooked and uncooked form. I'll leave it for you to decide which is which...
I've actually never had a bentos and now I don't think I ever will!
I nearly choked on my Vesta Curry when I read this.
I can't believe you've not had a tinned Fray Bentos pie!!!
I blotted it out only to see "Will there be a Series 3?" cookie cutter Netflix stories appear and feel even worse inside.@Rubbernuke Season 2 of Another Life is up on flix

To cheer myself up I watched Way of the Househusband anime to wash away the anguish.
interested
Its an easy pie to replicate though with rough puff and your choice of fillings. Beef in red wine is my DIY Bentos fix.
Lol Vesta curry. God that brings back memories
They had been out quite a few years before I was a glint in my parent's eyes but I did try one or two of them in the late 80's early 90's.
I have a Fray Bentos in a glass case for emergencies. When it hits the fan I want that hit of gravy, dodgy pastry and *meat
*as in, a few chunks
I've not made a pie in a while now. Think its chicken this weekend but next weekend perhaps I need to get my pie on.
Excellent. "Get your pie on" should be a stock phrase
Hairy bikers beef pie recipe is well worth the effort.
