Fray Bentos Classic Steak & Kidney Pie 425G

This was my first Fray Bentos streak and kidney pie. The crust was fine, and the meat was sparse, but it tasted great. That gravy was so good that I took a spoon and spooned out what was left. Now, I’ve made steak and kidney pie myself in the past (last time was probably 20 years ago) and it was delicious, but if someone would tell me how to make the gravy taste like that it would not take two decades for me to try again!

For those who complain about the quality of the product. You need to remember that this is a mass produced pie, not a hand made pie, made from scratch that you buy from you local butchers. Of course it wont be busting at the seams with filling, no matter matter what they advertise on the tin. What this is, is a trip down memory lane for the most part. I did find that there was a little more filling, but nothing to write home about. I've been purchasing these pies on and of for years since I am unable to find these in Los Angeles. They taste as good as I remember when I had them as a kid. My only complaint is the price tag. $20.00 for one pie is an absolute rip off, hence I only buy them when I want to treat myself to crappy British food from my childhood.

I managed to buy a large box of Fray Bentos canned pies years ago during restricted meats from UK and they always puffed up high like a French Souflle way above edge with layers of crust. Had proper taste of kidney most avoid like lamb as gamey due to ignorance. The 1st I cooked came out flat here (pix) in a toaster oven on convection heat. Very little taste & no classic kidney flavor hoping for here. There was no 33% more meat label as shown on can ad. I just fear they succumbed to useless food engineering guys with PhDs that ruin classic formulas to shave pennies for profit and destroy famous brands. Instead of good product promotion companies resort to them and ruin great products. These useless nuts tried to mess with SPAM by adding potato starch but the public fought back and saved it. They ruined, by watering down Heath Bars with filler, which used to taste like a thicker version real toffee Skor bar now. Fire um all!! Hopefully I can post a better review if cooked in oven instead and puffs up high as normal.

This is one of our favorite pies. Delivery was prompt and the product was not damaged in shipping.

A nice tasting pie, just like i used to get in the UK. Unfortunately, very small thus making it poor value for the money.

I've always been a fan of these and do buy them often. One thing only prevents me from giving five stars and that is that there is less meat and more gravy than there was. The flavour is still spot on and the pastry as always rises high and delicious. They are still worth getting.

Got because of Atomic Shrimp, will b y again, because delicious.

Was not impressed on how it was packaged in the blue and white Amazon package, obviously it was miss handled, and because of this, the vacuum seal didn’t hold up. The pie itself was a huge letdown, as there was only a dessert spoonful of meat, it consisted mostly of gravy. Still tasted as I remembered.
