h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Really enjoyed reading this: short, wry, nostalgiac and humorous. Excellent work, Icy North.

Thanks Eds - it was fun to write.

There's a fascinating story behind many of our convenience food brands, and it's nice to enshrine them in the Edited Guide before we forget all about them.

Totally agree with you. If ever you get the time or inspiration to write any more in a similar vein then we'd be delighted to read them and of course 'enshrine' them in the guide.

There is something about a Fray Bentos pie that pulls you back to them. A pastry pie in a tin...I think I have one in my kitchen cupboard at the moment. I think it must be a few decades since I last had one until last year when I just had the urge for one.

And if Floyd liked 'em then they are true English cuisine.
