Do you buy a pasty and sit on the harbour wall or prefer splashing out 60 odd quid in a nice restaurant.

Depends who I'm with and what the occasion is. What about a vote for good honest pub grub? Each option has its attractions, although we find that we are eating on board more often now.

OK - I voted "Cook on board" - but that's just 'cos we're broke having just bought new boat. As soon as she's paid for, it's back to "Good restaurant"!

Very rarely a restaurant. Unless it is like that Thai place in St Peter Port where you can get a curry and a pint for 10 quid.

They don't need refrigeration - hence good for long distance cruising

That's because they are such a culinary treat that they are wolfed down as soon as they appear on board. Maybe...............

Not that I remember, though it's at least thirty years since I last tasted one. They are just very forgiving food items - packed in tin cans that can be wedged in anywhere, bounce them around in the bilges in all temperatures and preparation just requires half an hour in the oven - no implements other than a can opener required...

I'm going to buy one and try one later.Which flavour is best?

Hmmm, like anything in food, it's all a matter of taste. Personally, the idea of chicken and mushrooms horrifies me, but some seem to love it. The only Fray Bentos I have any recollection of is their Steak and Kidney - which I remember as being edible if you like that combination.
Lets be clear here - they are not Cordon Bleu material and I don't think I would ever choose one under normal circumstances. They are a decent fall back in conditions where you might not have alternatives that can survive the storage conditions...
