Ginsters Chicken & Mushroom Slice

We were looking for a filling, ready to eat snack tonight in our local Co-op. On special offer was the Ginsters Chicken and Mushroom Slice (Buy One Get One Free) for 1 pound 68 p. Normally we ignore these slices as they appear overpriced for what they are, but on this special offer we decided to give them a try. What are they?: The description sounds very impressive on the packet. The slices are made of "Fresh british chicken and mushrooms in a delicious sauce made with fresh cornish double cream, wrapped in light puff pastry". My initial impression of this description is that the product is most probably filling but quite unhealthy - fresh cornish ...  Read the complete review

It's strange how we all get cravings. Many people rely on the sugar rush and have cravings for sweet things such as chocolate, cakes, biscuits and the like. However, I have always been more of a savoury person and my vice is pasties and pastries. Searching through the chilled section of a local Co-op for lunch I soon discovered that all the salads had gone (no really healthy lunch for me then), all the good sandwiches had gone (no healthy lunch for me either) and the only thing left was the pasties and pastries. The range of pastries in my local Co-op is quite limited and consists of it's own made items (which in all honesty are awful) or Ginsters, which are ...  Read the complete review

Well, I never thought I would be writing a review, on a Ginsters product, having previously stated, in several comments, that I found Ginsters pies and pasties much too spicy for my taste. So what has changed my mind, you may ask. My sister occasionally pops down from Weston for the day, just to get away from hubby and the housework. However, when she makes an unexpected visit, she usually brings a snack for us both so that we can catch up on all the news and gossip without having to waste too much talk-time in the kitchen, cooking. You can probably guess what she brought yesterday then. Yes, a Ginsters Chicken and Mushroom ...  Read the complete review

Ingredients: British chicken Wheatflour, Vegetable oil, Mushrooms Potato, Water Double cream Cornflour Egg Onion Salt Chicken Bouillon, Parsly, White pepper. The Ginsters pasty range. Hmmm... what to say! As with all other Ginster pasty and pie ranges, they come in a glossy black wrapper, which I feel makes them stand out from the crowd. They can be enjoyed hot or cold (I prefer hot). The taste is definitely there. The filling to pastry ratio is better than average with literal chunks of filling for you to feast on, which I think makes up for the price. Other ...  Read the complete review
