I found it ok, but a lot of people I've spoken to seem to think they're amazing! They're not even a proper pie because they have no base. So I thought I'd widen my research base and what better place to find a bunch of rational and random opinions than Fetch. If you have an opinion, please voice it here. And if you don't then you need to try a Fray Bentos pie.

I think we grew up on this sort of stuff, dad worked earlies, mum lates and sometimes, both, so speed was of the essence.
