Fray Bentos Chicken and Mushroom Pie

Fray Bentos Chicken and Mushroom Pie 425g £1.55 When Jessica Simpson was eating a can of "Chicken of the Sea" tuna in one of the episodes of Newly Weds, she was faced with the dilemma: is this chicken or fish. The same thing happened to me when I tried Fray Bentos Chicken and Mushroom Pie for the first time last week. I wanted a ready meal that has a long shelf life and I saw these tinned pies offered in Sainsbury's: buy 2 for £2.00. I thought this was a good offer, for normally it is sold for £1.55, and I decided to try them. The pie comes in a can; 6 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick. Why do I mention these ...  Read the complete review

I don't know why Fray Bentos pies have been going for so long because they are absolutely rank and when my cousin asked me if I wanted something to eat my heart sank when I saw her take this Fray Bentos Chicken And Mushroom Pie out of the oven. I always think it's like wartime food because it's a pie that comes in a tin, you take the top off and cook it still in the tin and you even have to serve it in the tin because the pie doesn't have a bottom or sides and it's the tin that makes it keep it's shape. The pie doesn't look that bad when it comes out of the oven because the puff pastry has gone a lovely golden brown and looks very light. It's when ...  Read the complete review
