First Fray Bentos S & K Pie

[Emjaytoo]

Just got back from a long weekend on the boat. On Sunday night we had a Fray Bentos steak & kidney pie done in our oven with roasted carrots and new potatoes (both partly pre-cooked). The pie was excellent! We will definantly be stocking up for future occaisions.

No connection with Fray Bentos, just a satisfied customer! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Could this be the start of another great Fray Bentos debate?
Try it in the lounge. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I prefer the SK puddings. Only one pan needed for the pudd and veg.

 

[Emjaytoo]

Ah yes, a saucepan instead of the oven. We will give that a try next time! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

*I tried a FB Minced Beef pie last week and found it very good. Made a pleasant change from the stringy 'beef' sometimes found in S&K.

Ahhh! Another memory from my youth!

Been eating them during my bachelor days in the 70's until SWMBO took over the cooking. Reintroduced as a result of this forum. GREAT. ps make sure you cook em long enough. Soggy pastry is not too good.

-soggy pastry not too good- well I actually quite like the soggy bit underneath the brown crust... but I have experimented with longer cooking times and can't seem to get it really crisp all the way through- any hints? would removing the pastry and cooking it on a baking tray work?

lets be honest, there is nothing on this planet that's going to make dog food in a yellow plasticine outer taste or look good! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Serving suggestion, best served after sailing! (or motor cruising)..... Has any one noticed this?
Have had FB with and without being on the water before hand and have only found it satisfying (to a degree) to the taste buds post sailing.
Perhaps you could try the same meal on board except next time without a trip out and see if it is as pleasureable ...maybe? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

High oven for 3+ hours should make it crisp all the way through. NB: May be black on the outside.
