Tyne Brand.

Back when I were a lad....we had Tyne Brand tinned mince beef and onion, mashed spuds, and baked beans cold, for our dinner. Twas a favourite for us young uns. Anyone tried it back in the day?
  Cue, hovis bread music.....

I remember that. I didn't like it. It was too greasy.

Nowt wrong with a bit of grease lass.

I remember the brand well, tinned fish and meat.  Great when we didn't have fridges

Did you appear in ITN with this extraordinary news?

Way back in the early 70s I remember trying to make it in a struggling rock band.  This mostly entailed living in a remote rented cottage, and being skint.

There was a big ol' cash & carry nearby. Catering tins of baked beans the size of buckets, and trays of Tyne Brand. 24 cans at a time.

I used to knock up huge pies that would last for days. Filled the oven I seem to remember.   😎

That description seems quite palatable. I have never seen it. I had the misfortune to be issued tins of Maconochies Irish stew or Tom Piper's Irish stew along with tinned process peas and potatoes.That was our diet for about 4 days cooked on a primus stove. The weight was colossal.

We reckoned the Met Police had bought a warehouseful of this fare and it was ( Maconochies) military surplus rations from the 1st war. It was extremely greasy and we certainly dug a few latrines ,on our travels through the mountains and forests of North Wales ,after eating it.

I remember using it when I was  in a hurry and a young and rather inexperienced cook.  It wasn't that bad.  Not a lot of meat and rather fatty.
