I also am interested in the crispy, succulent, beefy, gravy..ee, moistureful deliciousness that is the Fray inst-madly good pies.
Seriously, no where around sells beef and kidney/mushroom/gravy pies around here. WTFF?

Re: Fray bentos emergency
I really wouldn't bother. Made the mistake of buying a F &B steak pie a few weeks' ago and it was disgusting. Full of claggy gravy and two miserable, chewy bits of fibrous matter which the tin described as beef. Next time I'll make my own - at least that way I know what I'm eating.

Re: Fray bentos emergency
hnd is spot on. I had the same craving about a decade ago, and gave into it.
My memory was playing tricks on me. The pie was disgusting.

Re: Fray bentos emergency
Tried park n shop and came out with bags of stuff but no fray bentos. Their dry wors was the worst I have ever tasted. The fray bentos will be perfect, I have a retro taste thing going on just now. Was supping Cointreau and lemonade in theA380 bar this week and I was 16 the last time I had that I think

No no no - it must be salt & vinegar crisps with creme de menthe frappe.

Re: Fray bentos emergency
Timely post...I had a visiting UK contractor bring me a Fray Bentos Steak and Kidney pie and pudding over, arrived yesterday. Granted they don't taste as good as they used to but it's still bloody exciting, think I shall enjoy the pie this evening eaten from the tin with a 'jus' of tomato ketchup.
