Awesome cheers

Let the pie fest begin. Just imagining scraping the stuck on bits from the side of the tin now. Heaven in a tin

there is never a time for a fray bentos emergency.

perhaps during a global apocalypse when there is no other food I might consider one but it would still require consideration

One of my colleagues used to travel back from Essex to Dhahran with a suitcase full of Fray Bentos Steak and Kidney Pies. I do not think he ever ate anything else. Limited culinary skills ?

The craving was satisfied this evening thanks to the good people of the bored and thank goodness for spinneys on al wasl road. Steak and kidney variety, it tasted every bit as good as when my dear mum used to throw one in the oven many decades ago.
Crispy on top, soggy below and then full of meaty goodness. All it missed was Sue Lorley reading the news and I was back in the 70's. Perfect

Not a particular flattering photo of our sue but she she is the thinking mans crumpet and had great legs

She did have a few years on Beyoncé if that's who the lass is

I haven't had a slice of proper English toast for over a month :( There's a possibility of one tomorrow, but unlikely. I want one with dripping on, one with thick butter and marmite, and one with butter and lime marmalade. Wholemeal, really crisp on the outside but still soft on the inside. And a proper cup of English breakfast tea. Please help.

If you lived in Dubai, I would say 5 mins in Spinneys at motor city and job done.
