They come in a tin, you take the lid off with an opener and put in the oven. The top puffs up like flaky pastry, about 3 inches, and underneath is a soft pasty, some think it is soggy, but it is not, it is what makes a Fray Bentos pie a Fray Bentos pie. Then there is a rich beefy gravy, now this is England, we do not eat as much as here in the USA, so there is little meat filling, so do not expect large chunks like in a Marie Colanders. But it is not fake chewy meat either and they are much nicer, at least I think so. And in England they cost less than $5 so that is why they have little meat in them. Now desertcart please look at the pictures, DO NOT SEND THEM IN A PAPER BAG!! I received a box of gloves in a huge box with bubble wrap and these came in a bag??? Buy them and see, do them with chips aka French fries, and bread and butter, and if you dare,... a pickled onion! Review: Just as delicious as I remember. - I have not had a Fray Bentos pie in 50 years, I was very pleasantly surprised. Amazing pastry and a nice savoury filling. Americans may not like them but then its a Brit thing.

SOGGY PASTRY
VERY LITTLE BEEF IN A LITTLE GRAVY SOGGY PASTRYY COVERING A TEASPOON OF GROUD BEEF, AND A TINY AMOUNT GRAVY. A REAL NUMBER ONE RIP OFF. THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF PUTTING THIS PRODUCT ON THE MARKET I DEMAND A REFUND! W H ER E I S T H E B E E F? NOT RECCOMENDED

Tasty convenient option
It was tastier than I expected although I would have preferred chunkier meat than minced, but the pastry was outstanding. Mine came out beautifully puffed, crispy, and golden and honestly a lot better than the ones on the YouTube reviews I had seen. I think the secret is a slightly higher cooking temperature, as I used 395° F for the full 30 minutes.

A taste like no other!
I have been wanting these for a long time. It definitly was worth the effort to locate someone who could get them to me. Fantastic flavour and the crust rose higher than I expected. So glad I can get them again!!!

Where’s the beef???
This doesn’t taste bad, but it’s just beef/onion gravy under a puff pastry. As such, it is not filling and certainly not worth the price. Very disappointing not having any meat in it.

Not as good as I remember
I came to US more than 25 years ago, but used to love these in Britain in the 80's. In a fit of nostalgia I bought a few of these, and honestly, like most things they just aren't as good as they used to be. The can seems much smaller. These used to serve two people, but now only one. The puff pastry tastes good and really puffs up as these things are famous for. There is not enough filling anymore though, and appeared to be "separated" after cooking. Definitely not the same taste.
