Steak and Kidney!

When the kids were young, we had a touring caravan and used it for a number of holidays. We did a minimum of cooking (we were on holiday!) and couldn't afford meals out, so a favourite was a Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie, with tinned new potatoes and tinned peas. Just a tin opener was needed!

This is clearly fondly remembered by one of our daughters - for when we suggested we might have one a few weeks ago, the response was, "I'm salivating already!"

But back to our week here in France. We went into the local supermarket - Carrefour - and I noticed a small section of one aisle labelled Angleterre. Interested to find out what they considered English, there they were! Fray Bentos steak and kidney pies! As you can see, the picture proves it!


Clearly steak and kidney pies are quintessentially English.
