The other white meat
Remember the heyday of cheap Argentine beef imports? Me neither. Like Prem, Treet, and Mor, Anglo appears to have sunk without a ripple into Davy Jones' meat locker.
It never reached the same level of market penetration; Mor, Prem and Treet all run full-page color ads regularly in the 50's (and don't even ask about Spam ads--you can't escape them). Anglo just has these marginal, back of the book two-colors.
It seems that Britain got a lot more Argentine beef than we did. Bonus fact: The Anglo company was named after a town, named after a Jesuit priest.
Bonus quote: "Prince Charles said: 'I remember eating Fray Bentos beef until it came out of my ears.'" Wow, so that's what happened to his ears.
