Fray bentos emergency
 

Got major craving of unknown origin, to tuck into a fray bentos steak and ale pie. Has anyone know if any shops in dubai have them ? Not seen in spinets or geant

Thanks in advance

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
 

Park n Shop sell all kinds of pies, including their own shop made scotch pies. Just don't expect them to taste like mamma used to make.

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.

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.

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

Let's be clear. Nobody eats a fray bentos pie as they like the taste - much like eating anything from gregs - you eat them to satisfy some unmet need.

I'm with Tock - and will go and have some twiglets washed down with a Baileys and Peach Schnapps.

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

I read that first time as "crème de menthe fap" :blink:

You can get fray bentos steak an kidney pie in spinneys, Al wasl, in the pork section

Re: Fray bentos emergency

Re: Fray bentos emergency
 

Noted and wife shall be despatched. I didn't see in spinneys motor city and we went to the park n shop on al wasl.

So close but so far

Last time I heard that phrase, I was in my beloved Macclesfield

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.
