Avast thar, me hearties! Welcome to one and all from the Yachting and Boating World forum. We hope you've enjoyed your sail round our esteemed pie site. If you're looking for Fray Bentos-related information, can we point you firstly towards our rather strongly held opinions on Premier Foods' finest tinned pies, and to one woman's dangerous experiment with sell-by dates.

Although if you're after more information about Premier Foods closing their Fray Bentos factory in King's Lynn you could try the Lynn News, the Independent, or the Beeb. It looks like production will continue at alternative sites, so we suspect there's no need to stockpile the exploding comestible alongside your grog and hard tack just yet.

At pie-man towers we pride ourselves on answering your pie-related queries, no matter how odd. Some are philosophical - Paul asked us this week where you draw a line between a pie and a pasty? - and some you couldn't make up if you tried. "Will I die if I eat a Fray Bentos pie from 2001?" asked Dee this week. Despite pie-man's best advice, you'll be pleased to know she did survive the attempt. Don't try this at home, pop pickers.

So if you've a pastry-related issue that's keeping you awake at night (and we don't mean indigestion), email us and we'll do our best to get back to you.
