My Experience
Having tried the steak slice I thought I would give a different flavour a go.

The packaging is simple but effective. The wrapper is black with the Ginsters of Cornwall logo in red and white. There is a picture of the slice and the contents oozing out. Inside the packaging the slice is in a little cardboard sleeve.

The instructions on the back of the packet say you can microwave it for 80 seconds or oven bake for 20 minutes. I went for the quicker microwave option and soon had a rather delicious slice in front of me.

When it came out of the microwave I was met with a lovely smell. I cut the slice open and noted that there was a reasonable amount of chicken there and even whole slices of mushroom! The chicken was tender and there was a good amount of sauce inside. The pastry was lovely and soft (because of being microwaved) just as I like it. I don't think there seemed to be as much meat as in the steak slice but it was still nice for a change.

Comes in a 180g size
Costs around £1.69 though I got it buy one get one free!
