The other F Word - From 12:30 onwards in this video, there is discussion of a traditional British foodstuff that shares a name with a horrible and unacceptable homophobic slur.  I am truly and honestly sorry that the sudden appearance of this word, in this video has caused fresh hurt to people who have been abused and harrassed using the slur that shares the name with the food; I wish I had introduced the topic with greater thoughtfulness, sensitivity and care.

I've seen photos of British tanks both WWI and WWII named Fray Bentos.  That's some good gallows humor right there.

I'll just hang on to the childhood memories of the special treat which was a Fray Bentos pie. I loved the soggy underneath layers as much as the crispy, flaky top. The tender fall-apart meat was so much nicer to me than any other meat. But then I loved Spam too 🤨

Freezer space might not be as readily available to some people (shared housing, students, etc) so having a shelf-stable pie you can keep in your room/dorm without your food going "walkabout" is probably a huge benefit for some.

Hello Mike I am almost completely blind but you explain these videos eloquently. I can fully understand the entire video. Thank you it really means a lot.

I always enjoy when you over-analyze things in a thoughtful manner like this.

I love Fray Bentos pies. The combination of sludgy pastry and processed meat just hits the spot.

That filling looked like cat food.

But the soupy stuff, with lots of jelly, that's considered the GOAT by all kitties I know. 😺

I am one pf the weird people that love the soggy pastry bit. They are a guilty pleasure!

Relegating this pie to the emergency/back up food category might sound harsh but that picture you painted of coming home soaked on a rainy day really made me want to have one of these pies on standby 😂

There's a brand and flavor of tortilla chip where I live that has a picture on the back, labeled "serving suggestion," which shows a bowl of vegetables with no chips in sight.  Another case of, "we don't suggest you eat this product."

As a student*, I didn't have the freezer space which ruled out keeping bread and most of the alternatives. Fray Bentos pies because they were a shelf stable could be thrown in the bottom of my wardrobe behind my locked door and definitely be there when I needed them not in the kitchen subject to drunken flatmate predation.

"Solving for Pie" left me in stitches for some reason.

I especially liked the 'solve for pie' section of the video. Cheerful, creative, appealing. I'd be delighted to see more 'solve for x' explorations.

12:33 lol, the youtube automatic subtitles just straight up refuses to write the word "faggot". It doesn't even try to censor it like the word "fuck" which will always be written like "[___]".
Youtube is so strange when it comes to censorship.

Fray bentos pies are popular amongst the doomsday preppers who we all like to laugh at

Oddly got an ad for Whiskas cat food on this video 🐱 seems appropriate

a canned pie requires no refrigeration. if you live somewhere without power, and you want a pie, it might do- for hunters and for sailors and for a variety of foodsafe emergency ration scenarios
