Some of you might remember the Jiffy-Pop-pie-in-a-can I tried a month or two back. It's time for Fray Bentos round two:
I'm not sure what voodoo it would take to get the pudding to come out of the can looking like that thing on the lid. 
To cook it: Poke holes in can. Drop into simmering water -- up to the rim. Cover, simmer for 30 minutes. Remove water and remove lid. Enjoy. 
Appearances can be deceiving -- this thing looked and smelled not so appetizingly. Gross. Or is it? I had to go on.
I ate it. All of it. And it was actually pretty good -- once you got past the idea of chunks of meat and organ hidden like Easter eggs-gone-wrong in a soggy fat-based "pastry".
The damage:
- 21.7 grams of fat
- 358 calories
- 19% beef
- 15% pig kidney
- 2% OXO gravy (mmm, gravy)
- Cost: £1
Cheers!

So they also make a 475g pie version that I found you can order here in the states for the low, low price of $21 or 5 for $84. Somehow I don't think I will be ordering...
I'm impressed that you looked -- if it had been cheaper, would really have ordered a beef fat and kidney pie?
I was really more curious to see what other varieties they have. I am still impressed by the Full Monty. The odd things the Brits come up with never ceases to amaze me.
ewh...any crisps in the house?
I find if there are crisps in the house, I eat them. All of them. They had to go.
