Delicious Pies, shame about the delivery!

These are pies that we grew up with in England. 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 Amazon 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!

So good

These are so good. It took us awhile to get the correct one but once we did we cant stop ordering them.

Pretty good

These are expensive in the US, but have the advantage of not needing electricity like a frozen pot pie (which needs a freezer and microwave), making it a good food to store for emergencies. It can be cooked in an oven at home, or dutch oven while camping, or can even be eaten as is, though obviously the puff pastry shell won't puff up if it isn't baked. Quite tasty, plentiful meat and gravy, overall a good product, if overpriced.

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.

Best Tinned Meat Pie Ever!

If you are American or have never tried these tinned pies before, then don't! You won't like it. You will complain that there's not enough meat, the crust is too flaky, blah...blah...blahHowever, if you were raised in England or have eaten these pies before, then you will be in heaven.These pies are unique and to die for!

Great for camping and travel, simple storage

I really like these English meat pies. Being canned makes it very convenient to store and be ready without refrigeration. Tasty gravy with bits of meat in a pastry. Add it to pasta, mashed potato, mushrooms. Makes a very tasty fulfilling meal. I have even added cubed tofu to enhance protein. Camping or traveling the meat pie option is as affordable as fast food junk. I cook it in a portable oven powered by propane stove. Follow the directions. No one else makes a meat pie like this available in a can for reliable storage, easy to bake, where ever I am. I like this stuff.

Bloody disgusting!

Just yuck. I was quite excited to try them, but I’m throwing away the second pie and giving my dog 3/4 of the first.I mean - I get some of the positive reviews if you have some weird childhood nostalgia for these things, but they’re objectively terrible. Like low end, frozen pizza or 7-11’s wings crappy.The crust is very meh, but way better than the nearly meatless mush they put inside. Rather like I would expect WWII army food to taste like.I’ve had infinitely better Aussie meat pies in the states (although finding them is rather challenging). Don’t waste your money on these unless you’re buying them to remind you of your lost youth when times were simpler before your palate matured to appreciate the finer foods.
