that crumpet was raw, you have to toast it nice and brown and crispy with tons of salted butter, enough so that when you bite into it, it dribbles down your chin and leaves a puddle of butter on the plate lol

I always say they are the best of the worst. In fairness their steak and kidney isn't that bad, but of course it can't live up to a homemade product. Still you are right to point out they are an excellent backup for when you get in late after a hard day and just want to throw something in the oven that has substance. They are also good to have around in an emergency as you can add some vegetables and create an entire meal for a low cost.

when I was a kid, the Frey Bentos pies used to have good lumps of steak and kidney, in a thick tasty gravy (same with the suet puddings). The ones on the shelves now seem to just be a ground up mess. Pastry is still great though… we used to peel it apart and eat it layer by layer. I remember the puddings simmering away in a pan of boiling water, with a couple of holes pierced for the steam. They seems to take forever. Microwaving them simply doesn’t seem the same

I think I may have been one of those dastardly commenters to you who informed you about the Fray Bentos pies, along with other various things quite a while ago now? For me though, I used to wait until they were on offer in the shops or stores, typically at about £1 - £1.50 each, or on BOGOF times, or so, and then restock my cupboard again with them . . . I usually add veg to some though just to make it a better filling meal. And with the likes of Steak & Kidney, Steak & Ale, or Mince and Onion, you can always add chips, peas, and even more gravy made by yourself to help it out, too . . . Ready meals to go such as with normal varieties of pies, pasties, etc, it's your own choice whether or not to heat them in the oven or whatever for a short while first or have them cold (room temp). Again, you can always add extras to it to make a bigger meal from any, and include your own gravy if wished. As I'm not personally in to anything spicy myself, if I buy Scotch Eggs, I have to keep an eye open and not pick-up the ones that say spicy on them - or I get one hell of a sweat on even just from from them . . . (But, that's my own fault for not getting the right ones I wanted at the time!) lol . . .

I think that your crumpets were underdone. You should try toasting them a lot more so that they are very hot and the butter melts straight through all the holes. You should also have a slightly burnt ring around the edge on the bottom side. Putting them into a toaster does this perfectly. And I also recommend using Anchor butter!!!! X

All good food, the FrayBentos for me was something i ate a lot of as you could buy a stack of them and store them for a very long time or use them as a daily meal, however just a few years ago they where just £1 and had a lot of meat in them but as with all things due to company greed the prices are shot up to as high as £2.70 in some shops and the quality has vanished and you get hardly any meat in them now and its mostly sauce. Pork pies are awesome but i would recommend trying them hot, its not something many people do now as they are seen as cold lunch / snack foods, but originally it was large hot pie that miners would then take the cold left overs with them the next day for lunch and people liked them so much that bakers started to make smaller ones that where lunch box sized and ready to eat and so was born the cold ready to eat pork pie we all know and love.

I have eaten tons of Fray Bentos pies over the years. Up until recently you could often buy them for £1 each when on offer. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the tin and lift off the whole of the crust in one piece and set aside. Spoon out the filling on to the plate and add your vegetables of choice Then drop the crust onto the top. They are a ideal single person/student's meal, as the crust is enough without cooking up any potatoes as well. If you are really a glutton, surround the tin with oven chips on a baking tray when cooking.

Oh and their own-brand crisps are great too! The sour cream & jalapeno is a favourite of mine. They've managed to get all the flavour of the jalapeno without too much of the heat. Unfortunately you got Fray Bentos' one bad pie in their range. Their others are great, that one is just awful imo!

The cheaper pork pies really need some HP sauce to dip the pie into. In my humble opinion you haven't toasted the crumpet long enough & I don't think you've toasted the back at all. They need to be golden brown. How I handle the Fray Bentos pies is to go round the pastry edge with a knife to release it from the tin. Lift out the pastry with an egg slice (spatula) Place on your plate (to one side) then spoon out the contents onto the same plate, then lift the pastry top back on top of the contents.

For a proper scotch egg, go to a local butchers anywhere in the UK. Either that or make at home. I like homemade ones with a soft boiled egg in, still slightly warm from the oven, and a picnic basket with a multitude of pre-prepaired sarnies, along with wensleydale, cheddar and caerphilly cheeses, branston pickke, butter, fresh crusty bread, cokemans english mustard, maybe a few Lincolnshire sausages, some wiltshire ham, beetroot, gherkins pickled onions etc, and some kettle cooked crisps. Also some seedless grapes, some nice crisp apples and ripe pears, some scones, jam clotted cream. Along with a strawberry cheesecake, banoffee pie and a carrot cake, and a coffee and walnut one. And a few bottles of sparkling honemade cider, ice cold to wash it all down with! Well, if you are going to have a picnic lunch, you may aswell do it right. Even if it does make you feel like a bit of a fat bastard, but it was only once a year and there was 4 of us so its not like i ate it all to myself. Had a bloody good try though! Theres nowt like a good picnic with nice fresh homemade British fare.

Crumpets are really good with butter of choice. I have either jam on them or lemon curd. But with cheese and a dollop of HP sauce. Heaven.no butter when you put cheese on them. 🥰

The Scotch egg, pork pie has to be eaten with pickles. Crumpets, you toast twice so it’s crispy.

I too prefer things heated - or at least warm - as it makes the pastry taste 'freshly baked'. I don't like crumpets 😝. A lot of the snacks like small pork pies and scotch eggs are usually part of a much bigger buffet - cut in half or quarters.

the crumpets was the top crispy? if not then they werent grilled or put in the toaster long enough... frey bentos you can get in the US and yes you can either eat it out the tin or portion it up on plates, you can also now get the steak kidney ones in the US, i had one this morning for breakfast at my daughters in washington DC. problem with pot noodles they are snacks, so i have 2 or sometimes 3 at a time, i also double the wait time so it thickens up a lot more and stir well mid time. the longer you wait the better they get.

We probably didn't toast the crumpets long enough. We looked for Fray Bentos in the US but we couldn't find them. It's probably just where we were regionally at the time.

You should go to Melton Mowbray to try a proper traditional pork pie, try it with brown sauce or ketchup. Try warming the Scotch Egg and having salad cream with it.

Scotch Eggs as an outdoor snack can be eaten like an apple. Indoors, cut it in half, apply salt and pepper over egg for that extra flavour enhancement. Crumpets should be well toasted and buttered while they are hot, so it soaks in. Toppings are optional, cheese, honey, Golden Syrup, jam, or anything you want to try - it’s your choice. Also, crumpets are apparently amazingly easy to make. There are plenty of videos on KZbin showing you how to do it. Have I made any, No! They are far to cheap and easy to buy them in the U.K. I am really enjoying your KZbin U.K. tour, you both seem to embrace every new thing you see and try. It’s a very positive attitude. I look forward to your next submission. 🚖👍

Also their fresh strawberry tarts with the crème patisserie are to die for, and also their clotted cream rice puddings 😍 their fresh bakery section is also amazing too!

Both the Pork Pie and the Scoth Egg really require some seasoning, a little salt and pepper is good, as is perhaps one pickle such as Branston Pickle (small chunk version). With Scotch Eggs my preference is to cut them in half, lift out the egg and put a teaspoon or so of Helmans Mayonnaise in the hole, and replace the egg halves, Add Black Pepper...Yummy. Your Crumpets need to be toasted to a really crispy and not soggy and bendy. Fray Bentos Pies need some time in the oven...maybe you did. Again Seasoning is required, lift the pastry lid to apply. Pot-Noodle is a bit of a joke in the UK, but some people like them. Hoping you don't mind my comments,, they are intended to be helpful.
