Fray Bentos used to do a boil in the can steak and kidney pudding. I remember my granny used to occasionally do one for her dinner and she would always give me a taste on the end of a knife. (She ate off a flat bladed, flexible knife, a habit I picked up)
Obviously I took no real notice back then, but I can't remember her piercing it before boiling.
I tried to google it but it's difficult because it's been superseded by a modern version.
I had a friend who's go to meal was a Fray Bentos steak and kidney pudding with a tin of new potatoes and marrowfat peas and they kept a tin opener about 4 inches long and an inch wide and one end used to punch a triangle shaped hole in the tins which they said was especially for this job. Come to think of it I can't remember the last time I saw one of these type of tin openers.
I remember those tin openers, I didn't know what the triangle was for until now though.
One of these?

Used to always carry one of those in my jacket pocket.Invaluable during 70's/80's parties where Party 7's were centre of attention in the kitchens.
Fit's in well with Danny Baker's tweet.

Elated to discover that the reason Double Diamond beer - a staple of 70s pubs - was called Double Diamond was because the classic generic beer barrel branding - "XXX" -forms... a Double Diamond! #WorksWonders
