    Hi,perhaps I should reveal my interest in merchant shipping,I have had over the past 6 months a deep interest in the Liverpool,Brazil &River Plate Steam Navigation Co.Ltd,and specifically Lamport&Holt Line refrigerated boats used for the carriage of beef from the River Plate zone.To cut a story short I have a very deep obsession with anything to do with Liebig Extract of Meat Company,which became Anglo then Fray Bentos.So my interest is specifically ships that operated out of Liverpool,and I now have Paul Heaton's book 'Lamport&Holt Line.One day I hope to visit Fray Bentos and the old Anglo dock site in Bueno Aires
    Cheers Paul

    Hello Paul
    Nice interest I would say
    Have you looked at the Sub Forum of Lamport and Holt there may be some interest there !?
    Not sure but worth a look!
    Cheers and thanks

    Fray Bentos rings a bell. Beef pies in a flat can. Very tasty and just the thing if there's no refrigerator.
    Welcome aboard Paul.

    Surprisingly Richard they weren't a bad pie the pastry was a soggy is anything but to me they were quite refreshing especially when you lived in a flat on your own

    RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus could not get enough of Fray Bentos pies, would take loads over every trip to the med for the boys.

    Loved all flavours, then came along Chicken curry pie.

    Good pint or two in Tommy Tuckers and back to dinner with the family on camp.

    The called the pies Sweeney Todds, from mother England, to avoid any Argy Bargy.

    !958-9 i sailed on the South American saint line , St Merriel where we bought back a complete cargo of Fray Bentos corned beef. But my favourite food on that run was beef elope, (spelling might not be right), fantastic steak in a bun, kt
