I've never had a fray bentos pie they're vile. Used to have tinned mince and creamed mushrooms though. They are pretty vile too.

Once at a Xmas meal I had a dark meat with a really rich sauce. It was veal.

It didn't come to me either. Nor did I get the etch-a-sketch ashtray. Come to think of it, I don't think I got anything. Who did inherit?
