That's weird. We were only talking yesterday at work, about a tin of salmon as a mind blowing event as a kid. My mate was complaining his mrs makes him have a salmon fillet every week, Kinell we'd never seen a salmon fillet!!

Yes, and when I was a kid chicken was dearer than beef and reserved for a really special occasion. Mind you, they were proper, tasty chickens, not the tasteless battery raised things bred in miserable conditions nowadays.

What’s completely wrong?

They did start off as a corned beef company and they were named after the place where the corned beef originated.

Corned beef originated a couple of centuries before Fray Bentos was formed. Fray Bentos started off by manufacturing a beef extract which later became Oxo cubes.
You wrote "Though Fray Bentos do make pies, they’re mainly famous for corned beef, hence the name".
The name Fray Bentos has nothing to do with them making corned beef, it is just a trade name.

The Fray Bentos brand is famous for making corned beef, not OXO cubes and the brand name came from the place the product was produced, as I said (I never suggested they invented the stuff).

Conflating originated with originally. Fray Bentos wasn't really known over here, originally the Irish were the major producer though it has been around in various places for a long time, until the war when it was imported to help with food shortages. Now it is a bot of a generic name, a bit like people saying they are Hoovering when they are using any vacuum cleaner.
