Some Fray Bentos trivia courtesy of Wikipedia, to amuse you while you search for your pie's solitary chunk of meat:

Fray Bentos is the capital city of the Río Negro Department, in south-western Uruguay. Its port on the Uruguay River is one of the nation's most important harbours.

The town was founded as 'Villa Independencia' by Decree of 16 April 1859. It became capital of the Department of Río Negro on 7 July 1860 by the Act of Ley Nº 1.475 and its status was elevated to "Ciudad" (city) on 16 July 1900 by the Act of Ley Nº 2.656.[3] Its current name, meaning "Friar Benedict", is derived from a reclusive priest.[4]

Historically, Fray Bentos' main industry has been meat processing. An industrial plant owned by the Societe de Fray Bentos Giebert & Cie., the Liebig Extract of Meat Company, was founded there in 1863. It was closed in 1979, after 117 years in operation. A local history museum opened on the site in March 2005.

Fray Bentos was the location of the crash of Austral Flight 2553, in which 74 people were killed (69 passengers and 5 crew) on October 10, 1997.[5][6]

In 2015, the city's Barrio Anglo, the location of the industrial plant, was declared a World Heritage Site as the "Fray Bentos Cultural-Industrial Landscape".

Never mind that, are the tins still stainless Sheffield steel hand painted by dusky maidens in Bradford ?

Not a lot of people know that.

Come on, play fair. There has to be a realistic chance of winning in any contest. You would stand a better on the lottery

 

[DBK]

A pound seems cheap for a metal shelf unit. Though you have to empty it first so that may be why it's so cheap. Disposal of hazardous waste is expensive.

 

[magicsurfbus]

Not a lot of people know that.

I imagine some of their pies could apply for World Heritage status, given how long they've been left on the shelves.

Well done that man. I would have bought them all

 

[philw111]

At the risk of making you all extremely jealous, I can get 18 pies for £2.50. Where, I hear you cry (maybe I'm just hearing a lot of people crying). As I am a valued (?) worker at the factory that makes these wonderful items (although I'm not on the pie line itself), I am allowed to buy multi-packs in the staff shop - don't know exactly which flavour pies are in the box though.

Beware what you say in front of JJ........ pure heresy........ cross yourself and swear by the god of lettuces to behave....
