Beekay 5,134 Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Well personally, we quite like F B pies. Lovely with chips or mash. Comes in its own cooking tray too. An added bonus is it fits in my little airfryer perfectly. When washed out I can use the dish as a baking tray for other items, eg., sausages etc. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 I remember a chap at teacher training college who was very partial to tinned sponge puddings. Do they still make those? He had a slight accident with one of them. Tired, from a long day's teaching practice and the interminable journey back to Scarborough (we were not permitted to use our own cars on early teaching practice placements and had to wait for the college bus to pick us up!) he forgot to puncture the tin lid and.... Whoops! Explosion and sponge pud all over the ceiling! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,134 Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Ben, it says on the tin, 'microwavable', "In a Tin"? Or is one supposed to decant it first. Query, your post says circa 1962. Who had a microwave back then? Or perhaps I've misunderstood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Do they take it out of the tin before microwaving? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted March 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 I don't think the tin is 1962, but the price is. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Thing is, I've been having a fancy for 'date sponge', you used to be able to get that in a tin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,115 Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 An aunt of mine had a pressure cooker which blew off its contents through the safety valve just when a man was servicing the boiler. He ran off and was never seen again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MRS B 511 Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 They were definitely Heinz and were scrummy. They apparently stopped making them in 2015. The ones in plastic containers aren’t a patch on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart.C 491 Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 The whole range was discontinued around the time of the Kraft / Heinz merger in 2015. There's a Change.Org petition to bring back the Tinned chocolate pudding from the same range, it only got 97 votes. https://www.change.org/p/h-j-heinz-bring-back-heinz-steamed-chocolate-pudding-in-a-tin I'd have thought they'd have been better petitioning Kraft Heinz. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Sponge puddings these days all seem to come in those single serving, two-pack plastic packages. http://shorturl.at/duJ28 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marrowman 33 Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 I had a Crooklok but I lost the key. I still kept it in the garage for another five or six years though, just in case I found the key. Barmy or what! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
