Steak and Kidney Pie

[oscarina]

Does any one still eat Fray Bentos Steak and Kidney Pie cooked in the tin! Noticed they have made a comeback on Supermarket shelves! What other Steak and Kidney pies are good and any good home made recipes welcome!

[boxtops]

or a tin of peas'n'carrots, sandy - always on the shelf in my house, next to the pie

[askyourgran]

I've heard people say how much they like the Fray Bentos Pies in a tin but I still haven't tried one. My sister in law loves Smash dried potatoes better than the real thing, some people have no taste! :O

[poodicat]

Or those new potatoes in a tin...

[sandyRoe]

Carrots and peas? We're talking gourmet now.
There was very little meat in those tinned pies but the pastry was good. It was a job to get the tin opened.

Jan I don't think I have ever drunk THAT much! Poodi - you were fibbin on the gourmet bit - new pots in tins I dind to be quite indigestible.

[poodicat]

I dispute that the pastry was good sandy,the top layers maybe,but the nether layers a soggy mess...

[Jan1957]

You haven't lived ttfn. Plenty of chilli sauce with it. Could just eat one now.

[smart1]

The new pots in tins are really quite palatable if you drain them, crush them and fry them in some oil with an Oxo cube crushed into the oil

[poodicat]

ttfn didnt say i like them,but remember them lol...

[sandyRoe]

I thought that's how a pie was supposed to be. Crispy, slightly singed, top layer and other layers of under cooked stuff.

[sandyRoe]

Poodicat, are your ears burning?

I don`t eat pastry, rarely eat red meat and very rarely eat any kind of convenience food but for some reason I love the odd Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie. If someone made me a nice home made one I wouldn`t touch it for the above reasons. Strange.

I have tried a Fray Bentos Steak and Kidney pie a long time ago, but I really didn't like it, I'm sure it's ok if your in a rush, and it's near to hand, but I'd rather just bake my own, so much more tasty and nourishing!............

[ttfn]

Sorry poodi - I stand corrected - tis my age and health you know (pity me)

[boxtops]

No time or inclination to cook pastry, welsh - even the birds won't eat my baking.

[poodicat]

Just seen that thread Sandy...

[welshlibranr]

Oh well boxtops, not a problem, I often cook my own steak and kidney,in the slow cooker, and if in a bit of a rush, which is often! i use frozen pastry, it's really good!............and saves a bit of time too!...........

[tamborine]

1lb stewing steak & 4 lambs kidneys (membrane removed) all cubed. Put into pressure cooker & cover with boiling water & season, add Oxo cube & sliced onion and steam up for 15mins (to tenderise). If too much liquid drain surplus to serve separately as gravy. Pour contents into oven proof dish & cover with puff pastry; insert into medium oven for 30mins & serve with veg.

[boxtops]

...or reach up on the shelf and bring down he F&B tin, tambo....

[tamborine]

boxy, a recipe was asked for......how else will the younguns learn. You get more by my method.
