Remember years ago getting a Christmas hamper of their assorted tins and jars. We gave it all away, vile stuff I wonder if a walk around the factory that make these"foodstuffs"would be like walking round the chocolate factory with Willy Wonka.🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I used to love Kraft Macaroni Cheese, the one with the cheese flavoured powder you added to milk after cooking the pasta. It was probably more chemical than cheese but I loved it as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpruceBringsteen Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Lads over here wouldn't know meat and pastry if it smacked them in their national anthem. I'd kill for a Fray Bentos, never mind a Greggs pie, never mind a Bains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peakybunnet Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I have a garage full of Frey Bentos pies ready for lockdown/brexit which doesn't look like it will happen. That along with tins of spam beans and fruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovecraft Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Not had a Fray Bentos pie for about 20+ years. I do like a mince round with mashed tatties and beans as a filthy treat every now and again though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovecraft Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Also partial to some tinned haggis every now and again too Stirred into nice fresh pasta with a pile of oil and parmesan. Lovely. Farts are ****ing rank though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tastes way better just try and ignore the fact it looks like 1980’s cat food as you scoop it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CostaJambo Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Talking of inappropriately tinned foods my father-in-law is quite a fan of tinned curry. He has also in the past confessed to sharting while overstretching for a colour during a game of pool. I am not entirely sure whether these facts are related or not.

Loved these things! This goes way back to the late '60s / early 70's, but Marks & Sparks used to sell a round mince pie, wrapped in cellophane which was the dug's. I'd often get one at lunchtime when I worked around Princes Street. No need for a pic of one of them, I'm depressed enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days, M&S do a number of different pies in either flaky or shortcrust pastry of which I'm quite fond. In particular they have one called the Best Ever Steak Pie which goes down very well with a glass of Merlot.

Tins of 4. Do such delicacies still exist? Goblin hamburgers. Made from real goblin. As soon as school finished on Friday , me and my mate would hitchhike up north to go climbing. The only food we took were tins of goblin burgers and tins of custard.Tasted great at the end of the day back then, but not too sure I would eat it now.
