Fray Bentos pie meets Cobb Oven

Why not? Sometimes it's easier to just eat something for fuel, it doesn't need to be gourmet quisine when you are tired, cold, wet and hungry after a hard sail. If you have had a cold, wet sail you need some carbs and fat to burn, the problem with with carbs and fat comes when you are sat at a desk pushing a pen and not burning callories.

It is nice to eat good stuff though when you can.

Have to disagree.

It's just as easy to have something that is good for you as something that is bad. That includes fat and carbs as well. Marathon runners carb load but they don't do it with pies!

If you persist with this ridiculour point I shall sic Jamie Oliver on you.:D
 
I love lips and arses

grabbing a quick kitchen kiss while cupping a nicely shaped arse

nothing like

although I have no idea why when it comes to eating pies a bit of lip or nether region should be any worse than a slap of flank

it has been salted and falvoured to within an inch anyway

pizzles are bit disconcerting

by there way

here is a thing

beavers eat a lot of willow bark

the active ingredient of aspirin accumulates in beaver bum

the native americans knew that munching on a beavers anus was a great way of curing a hangover from smoking too much Kinnikinnick

How do you remove a Fray Bentos from the tin? Unless it's in order to scoop it into another tin, a bucket, or the bin?

From t'internet - "Open the tin as normal, but upturn the whole thing onto a metal tray - cook upside down for a good 20 minutes first, then turn it over."

I'll film my attempt tonight.

I would have to ask why?

And the answer can't be 'because it's there'.

I can't begin in to imagine the mess compared to cooking in the tin and I like soggy pastry!

I wonder how that little gem was discovered?

University research project into evolution and why beavers without arseh0les but rampant constipation were surprisingly more successful at survival.


"Pensioner Rita Gibson wants to sue her local Co-op after a Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie struck her on the head as she stretched up to reach it. I reckon she got off lightly. She could have eaten it.
- Fiona Phillips, writing in The Mirror in 2004. "

Australia claims to be civilised because it now offers six different kinds of pie. I rest my case.

Well, it was hot and tasty, and certainly worth keeping on the boat as an emergency meal. The Cobb cooked it well, but it did burn the bottom a bit. The roasting rack might have solved that.

I did film it, but it'll take me a day or two to get that put together.
