  • From the early sixties, this British commercial is not only patronising and sexist but manages to make the product look disgusting as well. Excellent, darling, you're improving!

    I was off sick in the 90's and back then I couldn't cook, and had just finished a no-solids period, so I had just removed my Fray Bentos pie from the oven, added a tin of potatoes and a spoon of peas...both expertly microwaved in a mug, when the doorbell went!
    It was a colleague of mine from the warehosue who had come to see if I was really sick.
    I told him I had just dished-up so he would have to watch me eat. As soon as he spied the empty pie-tin he said: "I am surprised you would eat one of those... Given the news!"
    "What news I said" (stuffing my face, as I hadn't been allowed to eat for four days). "There's people in those pies, they get the meat from hospitals!!" He said.
    Now, I haven't been able to confirm or deny this, but have always since wondered, is that why they taste so... 'special'. 🤔👍😂🤣🇬🇧
