    MrsT, if you start making your own baked beans you will never go back to tinned! quote]

    I so agree with you,I do,do my own baked beans when OH wants them but I was thinking more of kidney beans and other beans,chickpeas ect.I never remember to soak them and end up having to open a tin at the last minute.

    But it doesn't make sense....you would need a huge tin, or minute pies....and shouldn't pies be crisp? Are they tinned in some kind of juice, or just in their natural state?

    I'm fascinated. I might buy some to investigate.

    Perhaps the entire sales figures of tinned pies consist of people who bought them out of sheer curiosity.

    I used to work with someone who loved these pies.

    You remove the lid of the tin with a tin opener and bake the pie in the oven. The puff pastry lid rises just like an ordinary pie. ;)

  • Black Pudding - I have never tasted it but the thought of it makes me wretch - I could be starving and don't think I could bring myself to taste it and I was actually sick one time when they showed you how it was made on one of those cookery programmes. Tinned pies, squirty cheese, sausages in lard, tinned sprouts and all the others are IMO not nice, but I could eat them before I could eat black pudding!

    cheap sausages. there's nothing worse than a mouthful of god-knows what "meat" (snout, foot, tail, eyes - I feel sick just thinking about it) pureed til its like pap and stuffed in a plastic casing.

    I seriously don't know how people eat sausages they haven't bought from a trusted butcher and cooked themselves.
