My WWII grandmother passed on her appreciation of corned beef sandwiches to me. Even though I’ve mostly stopped eating meat I still feel like reaching for it in Aldi. My other gran gave me a taste for Fray Bentos pies, which are their own culinary abomination.

I used to love corned beef when I could eat it but I tried the one from Aldi years back and it wasn’t very good. A lot of gloopiness and connective tissue, kind of reminded me of dog food.

I’d eat it if I was starving (and able to digest meat) but it fell a bit below even my low standards :(

I wouldn’t be above one of the Frays pies, they just look like tinned pot pies
