There didn't seem to be any particular reason for it being reduced, as it was still well within its best before date. Not long afterwards though, I noticed that it had been replaced on the shelves by some steak and kidney puddings of a similar shape - but not in tins. Fray Bentos had relaunched the product in new, plastic packaging. Tesco had obviously reduced the price to get rid of the old stock, so thank goodness I bought the tin when I spotted it, otherwise I would have missed out completely. I don't care if the change means it's now suitable for microwave heating; a plastic-entombed pudding has no place on this blog, thank you very much.
