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 brands can leave you thinking whether there was any filling at all, but this chicken and mushroom slice is in luck of quantity and quality.
I must say though, if you can I would heat these up. The cold pasty is nowhere near the tastiness and rich texture of a warmed up pasty. The texture instantly increases, with the sauce actually becoming more edible and less gooey. Whereas with the pasty cold, the pasty seems to flake a lot more and the sauce can smell funny (?). The chunks of chicken definitely taste a lot better when it is heated up and the sauce sticks to the chicken more.
Overall a good pasty taste, worth the extra you may have to pay than for a standard pasty company.
A must try if they are on offer!
Summary: A must try if you like pasties.
