Fray Bentos Classic Steak & Kidney Pie 425G

If you've been yearning for the flavor of kidneys, you 've got two options. Go down to the butcher, buy a pair of fresh ones, spend hour cleaning them and rinsing out some of that distinctive ammoniacal tang and aroma, broil them to a turn and enjoy! Half a day's work in the kitchen but worth it.Or, you can just preheat your oven, pop the top of this container, and give it a half hour or so to raise up. A fine golden pastry crust enclosing a rich broth of beef and kidneys. A kidney pot pie! And so easy!Fray Bentos is your go-to for British delicacies. Some close-minded folks would call it offal. I call it delish!If your taste for things British runs to eel pie and a toad in the hole, Fray Bentos has something for you!

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.

There is zero steak in this pie. It was kidney and gravy. The new improved more meat statement is just a lie. Do not waste your money and to the seller if you would like to send me one with meat it would be appreciated !!

Meat conntent did not meet my expectation. Pork product was included. Very mushy after cooked. I purchase two of these and had to throw both items away. Poor value for money.

A taste of Britain. Enjoyed it.

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.

Have loved this pie since being a child in England. Pair with Brussel sprouts, mashed potato and gravy

This was my first time trying Steak & Kidney Pie and I was pleasantly surprised. I cooked it in my countertop convection oven (air fryer) and the puff pastry really puffed! I'm glad I set it on a little tray as the gravy bubbled out and leaked a little bit. Speaking of the gravy, it was flavorful and plentiful. I only wish there was more meat--the label reads, "now with more meat" and, if that's true, I'd hate to have tried it before. However, the meat was tender and very distinct between the steak and the kidney (I love beef kidney, but it might be an acquired taste for some). I'd give this 5 stars if there was more meat but I will still buy it again. It's a little pricey but I understand it's imported so will have it as a treat now and again.
