LadyPatricia Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Without meat if the last one I tried is anything to go by. They seem to have halved the filling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 A 'staple' in many a sailys grub locker. How do you serve yours? Straight out of the tin? On a plate? With or without veg? Personally, if I found one of these in my grub locker I would use it as a non-return frisbee. I'd rather go hungry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Ricko Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 probably a bit generous with the meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonzo Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Oi! Don't drag me into this. The RSPCA would prosecute you for feeding a dog that muck. Pukka or Peters pies for me any day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Todays FB pies the word pie is used VERY loosly If you like, love, adore those pies, please seek medical treatment soon! Or take a flakey, as thats all that is in them, pastry! Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylander Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Already on board in the cupboard in readiness I have two large F B puds and two FB pies. Long Life Milk - the Just milk from Tescos etc which is shaped like a normal milk bottle and easier to pour than a carton. Try wrestling with the carton and end up with 9/10ths over the work surface. I have a rule with the Long Life Milk which is on day 3 even though it is fine it goes down the drain at the end of the day and another is opened. Never had a problem. Ready to bake bread and rolls. Ready to mix bread mix - just add water for a variety of really tastey home baked bread. Long life jellies with fruit in. All very handy along with umpteem tins of this and that. And this is just in case.. Just in case of what I have never been quite sure of. A well stocked bar and plenty of drinking water - a real must have.

SPEEDTRIPLE Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Wow, you boys know how to live, the bar has been set high for on board entertaining You think that`s good Clive, how about the good old Vesta curry, and for added belt, some extra cayenne pepper for autumn cruising.

riyadhcrew Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Clive, Carousel has a nice high worktop for setting the bar high, so you don't have to look to hard for the bottles when you have one eye shut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Broad Scott: Pastry! Is that what they call it? Yuck! If I ate one those things again I would end up with Montezuma's Revenge for a week. You don't want to be near me if I get that! Then again, the raggies might appreciate it on a calm day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 The last one of these I had was so bad that I have given them up. 2 layers of flabby, soggy pastry with some grey/brown sludge between them. Lovely it was not. Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffbroadslover Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I remember my wife doing a FB pie for me a few years ago,,,,,,,,,I am still looking for the meat !! Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadScot Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hi Bonzo, Being a Mod, I had to use a ballanced reply to the pie. It was either the word "pastry" or the word "mush" to use both at the same time may have led me to mod myself for breaching the TOS on here As for Monties...I will avoid replying to that, it would turn out to be, a bit long winded!

Bonzo Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 BS: I think the expression is "high winded". A friend gave me one of these tinned excuses for a pie that he bought for a quid from somebody in a pub. I purposely left it on the bus on the way home, I am afraid I am too polite to tell him what I think of the product. I now feel guilty that the bus depot was possibly short of a driver next day.

jeffbroadslover Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Bonzo, I have e-mailed Fray Bentos to ask where I should look for the meat but up to now I have not had any luck with a reply either. I think that's a bit like you .......... Long winded ! lol Jeff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
