PGI after the words Cornish Pastie means Protected geographical indication (PGI) PGI. They are allowed to call it a Cornish Pastie because they are promoting and projecting the quality of Cornish Pasties.
As I've said in a previous comment, I'm dubious about this 'promoting and projecting the quality of Cornish Pasties' all the while Ginsters are allowed to call their puff pastry abomination a Cornish pasty. It seems to be the case that as long as they stick the right filling ingredients in and put the factory within a few metres of the boundary of Cornwall then they can be as rubbish as they like.
@@PotatoPirate123 when it comes down to the facts the probably paid a lot of money to be able to call them Cornish Pasties to the relevant authorities otherwise they would be sued.
As a Cornishman, the best pasties are made locally by the many local bakers down here. These have little to none of the additives the Morrisons pasties have. The crimp is a delicious part of the pasty for me too. Another great video Gareth
If you look up the history of Cornish Pasties being eaten by Minors down the Mines. The Crimp was for the Miners to Hold the Pasty while eating it and as they didnt wash their hands they always threw the Crimp part away as there was a risk of Arsenic or other nasty minerals being digested and the Coal Dust on their hands would not have been to good for them.
Most pastries made for miners and labourers in Europe have a traditional pastry handle to eat it with mucky hands. The Soviets made bread with handles for the same purpose. Hard times and hard workers 👍
@@riddimchef1 If you come down to Devon and Cornwall, there is a living museum called Morwellham Quay, near Tavistock, in Devon, on the banks of the River Tamar, which was an important copper port back in Victorian times. If you take a boat trip from Plymouth and head up the Tamar towards Calstock, you can see the chimneys of the wheelhouses of the copper mines poking up through the trees on the banks, though, it is accessible by road also. As you go around Morwellham Quay, it tells the story of how they extracted copper and tin. Well worth the visit.
Im Cornish born and bred, that looks exactly what a Cornish Pasty looks like,the ingredients are spot on, no carrot's, how its so cheap is beyond me, I've just bought one in Town and it cost me £4.45 for one, mine is steak so perhaps its that, but they look a proper job. 👍
The part they threw away was said to be for the "knockers". The unseen spirits or beings of the mines who made noises and could kill miners by causing roof falls etc. The bits of pasty were seen as an offering to keep miners safe, besides being a handle for dirty miners fingers.
Another out and about video with Gareth! What a bloody joy it is to see on a Friday afternoon you can’t beat a good pasty Gareth! Lovely video yet again much appreciated ❤
I was always told that the crusts were never eaten down to what was on their hands. You might need to track down a properly traditional one where one half is savoury (your usual pasty filling) and the other half is sweet (stewed fruit and custard)
I used to shop at Morrisons most of the time. But no longer. A bit of my history by way of explanation. I lived as a child in the early 70's in the Victorian terraced houses of Northern Mill Towns. In the mid 70's developers wanted to make money and put pressure on owners of these properties to sell them. The community was damaged as almost daily house after house became boarded up and the feeling of decay and degradation set in. Corner shops closed and community died. So up to date now and when I go into a Morrisons I get that same feeling of decay as product ranges disappear and large gaps in shelves get removed and replaced with empty holes and adverts. Large portions of the freezer isle are just boarded up and the degradation is evident. I cannot help buy feel the lack of choice and general decay cannot bode well for the continuation of Morrisons. I have tried to point this out to senior managers who seem to be in denial. Sorry this is not related to your review but I had to get it off my chest and at least on the record somewhere. I hope nobody really minds. I do hope that things turn around but unfortunately the decay is spreading to other supermarkets.
Cornish pasties are always a little on the dry side for me. They look to have a decent filling mind no giant air pocket. The best way to fight the gremlins is to eat a little dirt occasionally, the old mothers used to say to kids who had a cut ''go get a bit of dirt in it, it will be fine '' .
The crimping was, as you say, for holding the pasty however, because of the state of their hands the crimp was put on to hold with dirty hands and throw the crimp away. There was usually fruit at one end, as a sort of dinner and pudding. The miners wives used to put an initial on the crust so the miner could recognise their own pasty.
Point 1. You can’t get a real Cornish pastie in Cornwall for that price. Point 2. A pasty can only classify a pastie as Cornish if it was prepared and cooked below the Tamar river. I’m not Cornish but my first wife was. I lived there for some time and even had a pub there. NOT a good idea as they don’t like “ emmits”. I once had a pub in a place called Eaton Bray near Luton. I used to go sea fishing with my son near Redruth. Overnight fishing and then a fast drive home. A customer asked me to bring him a pasty back. It ended up that I would buy 40 pasties from Portreath pasty shop, get back to the pub about 8pm and be sold out by 10.30pm. The history of pasties goes back to the Tin mines. Due to the conditions that the miners could get arsenic on their hands, wives would put a large crimp on them for holding the pasty and then throw it away. If you wanted to go fully traditional? usually the pasty held the meat at one end and some kind of pudding at the other. I’m the very early 70’s I worked for a few months down South Crofty tin mine as a track layer. NOT an experience I would like to repeat. Sooo deep down and sooo far out under the sea bed in the blackest place I’ve ever been in made N Ireland and other jobs in the Forces a doddle when it comes to fear factor. A great review, as always. The ingredients are not those included in a real pasty. Looked good though. They’re like a real Rolex compared to a snide knock off. I do go on a bit don’t I? 🥴🥴.
Cheers Gaz I love a good Oggie being stationed most of my career in Devonport just over the Tamar from Cornwall or Kernow as they call it. usually got them delivered to the ships from Ivor or Ron Dewdney's which the Cornishmen hated with a passion but I loved em, steaming hot out of the oven usually and if I'd had a lucky night on the town, I would grab one with a pint of ice cold moo juice and a copy of the Sun to take back on board ship. Ahoy!
Morrisons used to do a Cornish pasty that had a split half meat and half sweet apple as apparently it provided a meat and a sweet in one pasty and they tasted really good!!
I'm in stitches here a middle aged man sitting in a car by himself holding a pasty in each hand talking to himself i wonder what the rest of the shoppers imagine what's going on 😂😂😂😂comedy gold keep up the good work my good sir from joff the trucker
Also, other than having the crust so you could eat it with dirty hands (crust always discarded) the filling itself was meat etc one end, fruit the other as they considered it a FULL meal. Usually split around 75-25 meat/fruit..
The crust (crimp) served as a 'handle' - a means of holding the pasty with dirty hands without contaminating the meal. Arsenic commonly accompanies tin within the ore that they were mining so, to avoid arsenic poisoning, the crimp was an essential part of the pasty.
Great video gareth. I usually visit my morrisons early saturday morning, and these pasties will be on my radar for lunch. Not a bad price for 2. Have a great weekend with the family. Karl
Here in Wharton New Jersey USA, there is a shop called Rocky's that use the phrase "Cornish Style Pasties." So they use a non offensive name. They are belly busting good though no matter the name.
They do look as if they were well filled and that is the main thing. Look really nice and a good size. I may have a Cornish Pasty what some chips and some little tomatoes for my Tea.
Most Melton Mowbray pork pies these days don’t taste that much different from non-Melton Mowbray ones - original Melton Mowbray pork pies used to ooze all that lovely aspic all over the place and almost tasted like they had been fried - but, thanks to those spoilsports who have decided that aspic tastes horrible and should be removed from food and nothing should ever be fried, I think the only way you could get a decent Melton Mowbray pork pie would be to hop on a train to Melton Mowbray - the place which gave them their name - I am not entirely convinced that you can even get a proper Melton Mowbray pork pie in Melton Mowbray! Challenge, not just for Gareth, but for anyone reading this - take a trip to Melton Mowbray and, if you pass “Go”, collect £200 - er, I mean, see if those spoilsports haven’t managed to exert their influence in their place of origin - in other words, can you still get a proper Melton Mowbray pork pie, made to the original Melton Mowbray recipe in Melton Mowbray?
I like Morrison pies and pasties, but the palm oil has addition is problematic , the palm oil industry is systematically destroying old growth rain forest, and wiping out animal such as orangutan , so I think I’ve eaten my last Morrisons pasty
Good point. Why the devil people continue using palm oil is beyond me. There must be alternatives nowadays. I make Cornish pasties and never use palm oil.
Bought some when I was in Cornwall - same ingredients . Made in a factory in mid Cornwall. Very tasty pasty. Good value . Palm oil is not a favourite ingredient of mine! Supposed to keep to a low fat diet, so don't eat many these days. Will be checking out my local Morrisons. Ginsters in E Cornwall - can't recommend them! My favourite pasty bakers Rowes, Malcolm Barnecutt, Phelps.
Morrisons have a pie bakery in Wakefield, But i am sure they buy these in from Samworth Brotherrs in Cornwall. The buy them oven ready to warm in the shops oven. Samworth Bros own plenty of household food brands, including Ginsters, and The West Cornwall Pasty Co. Morrisons are very, VERY strict about the sourcing of all forms of Meat, meat products and fish. It is beyond belief that they would be circumventing the PGI.
Love a pasty me and morrisons bakery is quality (I especially like their sausage rolls)but i've never tried their pasties but after watching that i think I might give one a go!
Hi Gareth. My understanding is that the thick crimped crust was there so that the miners could hold on to that with their dirty coal soiled hands and not contaminate the pasty. I don't think that part was meant tp be eaten then.
Low beef content 13 percent. Sainsburys 4 for £2.75 520g made by Samworth Bros (Ginsters) have 18 percent. Great with chips and beans, they freeze well.
All Morrisons pasties are pretty good to be fair. The Cornish one you had is really good but I think my personal fave is the Jumbo Beef Pasty - you should definitely give them a blast next time you're in Morribobs 😋
@@briz1965 Aye, i'm 66 years, born n bred in the shire, still ca'nt do 'em !! Our lass could make'm blindfolded. ( Maybe that's why i hav'nt tried for years. )
I used to work in a pie factory in Sittingbourne, Kent who made a great-tasting Cornish pasty. I now live in Ireland and can't buy them for love nore money near me. I do believe I could buy them in Dublin. I used to buy them in My local Iceland but they are going out of business here in Ireland. So I will either make some myself or take a trip up to Dublin.
That was satisfaction watching you eat that pasty. I can tell it was enjoyable. I often buy at Morrisons through Amazon so I may try one of these. Always good to see your videos before the weekend. I know what to try. Cheers Gareth 😊
Hey Gareth - the reason for the crimp is because mining tin, it left a poisonous residue on your hands. That resulted in them creating a crimp so that the tin miners could eat the pastie and then throw the crimped pastry away. Keep up the great work and just love all the videos you do! Best wishes - Malcolm
I'm from Cornwall. Did notice that The Cornish Bakery is in Keswick, Windermere and Ambleside. They sell a more authentic pasty. I do not think with the ingredients that Morrisons is a genuine Cornish Pasty. They also sell different flavours of pasty and different types of cakes.
I work in the bakery for Co-op and these pasties are made by Rowe's from Cornwall. They are official lol! A guy comes in and asks for them frozen so he can cook them at home. The whole of the back area where I am smells amazing when I cook these bad boys up!
Yer just come back from Cornwall been going down cornwall since 1971 the big holes in the cliffs on the beaches are where they used to mine for tin there's a shop in looe where you can watch the ladies make the cornish pasties while you purchase them and believe me there nothing like the morrisons one's
Pasties are a big thing on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There used to be a lot of hard rock mining up there, and apparently a lot of Cornish came to work in them.
Cheers Gaz another high octane tense thriller food review from the best of the rest, plenty of Beef no grief, safe as house's pair of trousers, bang on, spot on the one and only Golden Gaz👌🏻🔝💪😋🏆
As a Cornish maid born and bred Ime cracking up watching the way your eating that pasty 😆😆😆😆us Cornish folk would eat the knobbly bit on the top first and work our way down not eat from the sides but glad you enjoyed it looks an ok pasty
Palm oil for me is a very iffy topic, due to various football sized fields of trees getting cut down on a daily/weekly basis just to produce palm oil on the very cheap basis so that it can be put into near enough everything we eat & wash with (inc dishes & clothing)
Don't know where I heard it but didn't miners pasties have savory one end and desert other end or am I wrong on that? They did look delicious though and looked like you enjoyed them.
Had one today .and to be fair it wasnt bad! Hard to get anything like a cornish pasty in midlands! Ginsters with the flaky pastry is in my opinion nothing like a cornish pasty. Ive not realy bothered to study ingrediants before but i may think twice next time.
Hi Gareth. Thanks for posting another excellent review. Hope your family break went well and you all had a good time? Pasties are a great British food and Cornwall and Devon the rightly kings. As for Palm Oil. I cannot understand why British supermarkets and manufacturers use this cheap horrid fat instead of British butter in these items especially pastry! Palm oil is proven to be ecologically poisonous crown in countries where the Palm isn’t even a native species! Plantations are ruining rare natural ecosystems around the world especially in areas of crucial rainforest and mangrove. There should be a worldwide ban on the stuff. Nice to see a hand crimp. Ginsters stopped hand crimping a long time ago and have also cut their pepper and seasoning. A pasty needs pepper!. I’ve eaten pasties with side crimps in Devon loads and I must admit the best pasty I’ve ever eaten was from a shop in Teignmouth which I had to wait around half an hour for it to cool to my preferred temperature before eating on the beach watching the ferry come and go. Amazing food.
At least Butter and rape are UK products. We, as companies and consumers should support UK Farmers at much as possible. UK dairy farmers can produce the best butter because their stock is grass fed - the envy of the world.@@soudley8
Love your videos, Gareth, my favourites are the comparison ones, posh to cheap. !!! Palm oil producers are the main destroyers of the planet, I try to get things which have responsibly sourced palm oil, but very difficult. I think you are brilliant, best wishes from John in Ascot 👍🍺
As a child, the Cornish pasties from my Local bakers, were always crimped along the top, recipe was lovely, but would welcome anyones thoughts on what they should have been called? Great video, keep up the great work xx
In Cornwall the best pasty's are homemade( Grans, mums etc) the next best are butchers, bakers and sometimes farm shops that make their own. Lastly is supermarket/ Ginsters that are not much higher on the scale than dog food. I grew up and still live in Penzance( the most westerly main town) so have eaten a few in my time 😂
My Gran was from Cornwall she moved to Lancashire when she married my Grandad and she made the most delicious pasties to the original Cornish recipe no additives just meat potato and Swede and really scrumptious pastry and at least a foot long those were the days
....about the palm oil and this is from wikipedia: "The use of palm oil has attracted the concern of environmental groups due to deforestation in the tropics where palms are grown, and has been cited as a factor in social problems due to allegations of human rights violations among growers".....so there you have it. Palm oil = not good.....mind you, most of the "ultra processed" food we eat these days isn't good for us (that's the majority of food from supermarkets) so it's no wonder the incidence of obesity, type 2 diabetes, strokes and cancer is going through the roof in this country. There's a very true saying "you are what you eat" and modern ultra processed food is killing us all! ☹
Well that’s just mad Gaz. Only last week a friend asked me did I ever had a Cornish pasty? I said yeah they were lovely but I haven’t seen them for sale (in Ireland) in years. He agreed. I was a huge fan of the peppery taste and my Gosh the flavour. You could get them in every hot deli from service station to supermarkets. But they have just disappeared. I’m now wondering if it’s because of this law that they are not actually made in Cornwall???
Palm oil has been and continues to be a major driver of deforestation of some of the world's most biodiverse forests, destroying the habitat of already endangered species like the Orangutan, pygmy elephant and Sumatran rhino. We try to avoid. Even sustainable raises problems. Love your channel! ❣
Thanks for the good video mate, love pies, do get a Cornish pie now and then, very good. I wolf them down. Can understand those miners, would burn 1000 s of calories, you need a couple. True, when your hungry eat anything.
Not as some people think in some of the comments is the point of region protection. It's to stop large manufacturers from producing a product at a much cheaper cost and taking away the business from local, more bespoke traditional bakeries that have been there for years. This keep profits and employment within the region rather than greedy corporate enterprises who dont care in the slightest about anything other than profit.
Originally, I think they had like stewed apple in one end and the meaty section at the other. I don't know if they're genuine CORNISH pasties at Morrisons but I have to agree with your Dad and say Morrison pies and hot counter in general is pretty good. Especially against Greggs which I find more and more biege and boring. Greggs, used to be pretty good, but it's all pasty bland beige dullness nowadays. They don't even do those iced fingers anymore. But yeah you can generally pick up some decent hot food from Morrisons, the full cooked chicken is great to make sarnies with for instance.
I think Morrisons pasties etc from their deli are a step up from a lot of the other supermarkets. You can even get a huge deep quiche from their deli bit for a fiver. That's something that would be perfect for people having a party and making their own buffet. You wouldn't get anything like that from the deli of the Supermarket beginning with T. And I shouldn't really say that because I work there lol. If you go into our local Morrisons from about 4pm all that stuff is reduced at least half price.
Certainly love Morrisons fresh baked in store cheese & onion pasties the flakey pastry is very light can't be that full of calories. Scotch pies are great too.
You can have two pasties. It is O.K. The downside is that when you get back you will have to mow & weed the garden & hoover, dust & tidy the house & hang the washing out. That will use some extra calories up.
Sounds like a good buy. I have just had 2 Morrisons The Best all butter scones wow absolutely beautiful. I didnt even have butter on one of them, so nice.
At £1.72 per pasty they compare pricewise favourably with Pukka and Ginsters pasties. Did you ask for potato and meat pies and did they tell you those pies have been discontinued? That's what I was told in my local Morrisons in South Lincolnshire.
I know a few years ago they did collaboration with Crantock post office In Crantock Cornwall who make the corniche pasties fresh on the premises each day. Tried both from the Crantock itself and the ones from Morrisns 8nleeds ans they were identical.enjoy
They also used to have savory oneside and the other side sweet so that the miners got a dessert too. The used to throw the crimp edge away after eating rest of pasty. X
My missus and I used to go to our local Morrisons down Teignmouth for some pasties every weekend but they’ve not had any in for ages , not sure what the problem is 🙄
Cheers Gaz, you've just gave me another idea for a meal for my son 👍 I never think when I ask for Cornish pasties, was it made there, I suppose it's like me when I hear people asking for "scotch pie" I'll chirp in and say " it's a Scottish pie, no scotch, because it's no made wae whiskey"😂 ❤
eh up gaz . those pasties looked nice and as for the writing on them "T I C " , it could mean trapped in cornwall was there a sticker on or in the bag that said "send help" lol. and iv been into the local co-op (or as we say it kwap) again and those rustlers burgers are now £1.25 down from £1.60 !.

Is Palm Oil a traditional ingredient?
@@WhiskeyChaser-q3q And rape seed oil. I don't think so.

Yes. Often substituted with mince now but originally beef skirt was used potato, onion and swede and made in Cornwall!

Supposed to keep to a low fat diet, so don't eat many these days. Will be checking out my local Morrisons. Ginsters in E Cornwall - can't recommend them! My favourite pasty bakers Rowes, Malcolm Barnecutt, Phelps.
Cheers Clive, I'm on a diet lol
Morrisons have a pie bakery in Wakefield, But i am sure they buy these in from Samworth Brotherrs in Cornwall. The buy them oven ready to warm in the shops oven. Samworth Bros own plenty of household food brands, including Ginsters, and The West Cornwall Pasty Co. Morrisons are very, VERY strict about the sourcing of all forms of Meat, meat products and fish. It is beyond belief that they would be circumventing the PGI.
Thanks for the info!
Hi Gareth , great vid , yes Morrisons pies are lovely the pastry is to die for , that pastie look nice. Regards mark
Cheers Mark
Love a pasty me and morrisons bakery is quality (I especially like their sausage rolls)but i've never tried their pasties but after watching that i think I might give one a go!
You see these pasties at small motorway services.I think they are called west country pastor company.They are £4.50 for one but I really enjoyed it.
Cheers pal
Hi Gareth. My understanding is that the thick crimped crust was there so that the miners could hold on to that with their dirty coal soiled hands and not contaminate the pasty. I don't think that part was meant tp be eaten then.
Thats exactly what he said
@@Twobee-sf4ml Not exactly, Gareth suggested that they would also eat the crust.
@@markriley5863 get invited to many parties
I love Morriston Corris pasties and their pies aswell, they used to do a chunky steak pie, it was the best.
Great review as always Gareth ❤😊
Can't be called a Cornish pasty if not made in Cornwall. However doesn't have to be cooked there.
I think that only applied when we were members of the EU.
@@markjeffery7319 Still applies.
@@markjeffery7319
Nah mate it's protected same as Melton mowbray pork pies.
It's a fairly meaningless rule while Ginsters are allowed to make their crap 'cornish pasty'
@@PotatoPirate123 no one eats them in Cornwall, bit like carlslberg made to go lol
Lived in Cornwall most of my youth and lived on pasties, love a Rowes pork and apple pasty or the ones from Chokes in Falmouth.
Low beef content 13 percent. Sainsburys 4 for £2.75 520g made by Samworth Bros (Ginsters) have 18 percent. Great with chips and beans, they freeze well.
Lived in Kernow once upon a time and often visited the Pasty shop in Snozzle - their pasties were the DB's moy ansome.
Ginsters are in Cornwall (where I met the wife) and they make pasties for other companies.
All Morrisons pasties are pretty good to be fair. The Cornish one you had is really good but I think my personal fave is the Jumbo Beef Pasty - you should definitely give them a blast next time you're in Morribobs 😋
Cheers pal
When I lived in England I had a Morrison's near me and loved the pasties and pies,I'm jealous of you gaz they looked as good as I remember
Looks lovely and filling, maybe have one of these instead of an evening meal to save some money! And give the other one to the cat 🙀 😅
As a Yorkie, I'm quite happy for other counties to make Yorkshire Puddings and call them such!
a lot more tricky to make than pasties too
Thats very nice of you
@@briz1965😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@briz1965 Aye, i'm 66 years, born n bred in the shire, still ca'nt do 'em !! Our lass could make'm blindfolded. ( Maybe that's why i hav'nt tried for years. )
I'm from Yorkshire too. Took me a while but I nailed em eventually
I used to work in a pie factory in Sittingbourne, Kent who made a great-tasting Cornish pasty. I now live in Ireland and can't buy them for love nore money near me. I do believe I could buy them in Dublin. I used to buy them in My local Iceland but they are going out of business here in Ireland. So I will either make some myself or take a trip up to Dublin.
Thanks for sharing Rory
i think years ago Cornish pasties often had half savoury/half sweet fillings for the workers grafting each day, Bet they were delicious!...Cheers Gaz
Cheers Nige, hope you're well pal 👍had the other four my tea with chips and peas lol
You cant go wrong with Morrisons pies and pasties, Asda sometimes sell Rowe's hot cornish pasties for £1.60 and they're pretty good also, worth a look
You’re correct about how to hold it apparently they didn’t like the side effects of the arsenic on their hands 😅 they would throw the crust away
That was satisfaction watching you eat that pasty. I can tell it was enjoyable. I often buy at Morrisons through Amazon so I may try one of these. Always good to see your videos before the weekend. I know what to try. Cheers Gareth 😊
Cheers Steve, yes very tasty.
Hey Gareth - the reason for the crimp is because mining tin, it left a poisonous residue on your hands. That resulted in them creating a crimp so that the tin miners could eat the pastie and then throw the crimped pastry away. Keep up the great work and just love all the videos you do! Best wishes - Malcolm
Thanks for the info!
Ohhh I've not had one from Morrisons for years. I used to love the Lincolnshire sausage and mash pie but I don't think they do them now TFS 👍
I'm from Cornwall. Did notice that The Cornish Bakery is in Keswick, Windermere and Ambleside. They sell a more authentic pasty. I do not think with the ingredients that Morrisons is a genuine Cornish Pasty. They also sell different flavours of pasty and different types of cakes.
I reviewed one from Bowness. Save size cost me nearly a fiver lol road trip playlist it will be. 😊
i messed up the other day - i thought i'd scored some discount cornish pasties but they were corned beef pasties! 😂
I would have been mortified, Billy boy. I've sampled both !
I work in the bakery for Co-op and these pasties are made by Rowe's from Cornwall. They are official lol! A guy comes in and asks for them frozen so he can cook them at home. The whole of the back area where I am smells amazing when I cook these bad boys up!
Thanks for the info!
Try the bacon sausage rolls from that range. Super super tasty.
Sounds good!
Yer just come back from Cornwall been going down cornwall since 1971 the big holes in the cliffs on the beaches are where they used to mine for tin there's a shop in looe where you can watch the ladies make the cornish pasties while you purchase them and believe me there nothing like the morrisons one's
Nice one pal
Pasties are a big thing on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There used to be a lot of hard rock mining up there, and apparently a lot of Cornish came to work in them.
Btw, I first encountered pasties when my family lived in Plymouth (I know, it's not in Cornwall, but it's close) for 8 months in 1978.
Cheers Ryan, all the best 👍
Cheers Gaz another high octane tense thriller food review from the best of the rest, plenty of Beef no grief, safe as house's pair of trousers, bang on, spot on the one and only Golden Gaz👌🏻🔝💪😋🏆
Cheers Tim
As a Cornish maid born and bred Ime cracking up watching the way your eating that pasty 😆😆😆😆us Cornish folk would eat the knobbly bit on the top first and work our way down not eat from the sides but glad you enjoyed it looks an ok pasty
Glad you enjoyed it
As a Cornish man born and bred I thought the same, you see Emmet's eating them like that, funny 😂
Palm oil for me is a very iffy topic,
due to various football sized fields of trees getting cut down on a daily/weekly basis just to produce palm oil on the very cheap basis so that it can be put into near enough everything we eat & wash with (inc dishes & clothing)
Is it beef skirt? Original Cornish pasties were made with beef skirt .
Don't know where I heard it but didn't miners pasties have savory one end and desert other end or am I wrong on that? They did look delicious though and looked like you enjoyed them.
I buy Ginster cornish pasties, they are based in Cornwall. I get mine from Tesco in Cambridgeshire.
South of the river Tamar. .Used to call them Oggies in the Navy.
Had one today .and to be fair it wasnt bad! Hard to get anything like a cornish pasty in midlands! Ginsters with the flaky pastry is in my opinion nothing like a cornish pasty. Ive not realy bothered to study ingrediants before but i may think twice next time.
Hi Gareth. Thanks for posting another excellent review. Hope your family break went well and you all had a good time? Pasties are a great British food and Cornwall and Devon the rightly kings. As for Palm Oil. I cannot understand why British supermarkets and manufacturers use this cheap horrid fat instead of British butter in these items especially pastry! Palm oil is proven to be ecologically poisonous crown in countries where the Palm isn’t even a native species! Plantations are ruining rare natural ecosystems around the world especially in areas of crucial rainforest and mangrove. There should be a worldwide ban on the stuff. Nice to see a hand crimp. Ginsters stopped hand crimping a long time ago and have also cut their pepper and seasoning. A pasty needs pepper!. I’ve eaten pasties with side crimps in Devon loads and I must admit the best pasty I’ve ever eaten was from a shop in Teignmouth which I had to wait around half an hour for it to cool to my preferred temperature before eating on the beach watching the ferry come and go. Amazing food.
Agree with everything you say re palm oil. Why use it ? It can't be that much cheaper , and it's certainly not healthier than rapeseed.
At least Butter and rape are UK products. We, as companies and consumers should support UK Farmers at much as possible. UK dairy farmers can produce the best butter because their stock is grass fed - the envy of the world.@@soudley8
Cheers, you're welcome 😊
Morrisons sausage rolls are nice from the bakery should try them when warm
Cheers will do
In morrisons they sell a ginsters cornish pasty and they are made in Cornwall and very nice
Love your videos, Gareth, my favourites are the comparison ones, posh to cheap. !!! Palm oil producers are the main destroyers of the planet, I try to get things which have responsibly sourced palm oil, but very difficult. I think you are brilliant, best wishes from John in Ascot 👍🍺
You're welcome 😊
Cheers Gareth, I had one the other day . Warmed it up in air fryer 10 minutes 300 absolutely beautiful. Cheers Gareth.
Sounds great! Cheers Steven
As a child, the Cornish pasties from my Local bakers, were always crimped along the top, recipe was lovely, but would welcome anyones thoughts on what they should have been called? Great video, keep up the great work xx
Cheers Harry
In Cornwall the best pasty's are homemade( Grans, mums etc) the next best are butchers, bakers and sometimes farm shops that make their own. Lastly is supermarket/ Ginsters that are not much higher on the scale than dog food. I grew up and still live in Penzance( the most westerly main town) so have eaten a few in my time 😂
I've never had a pasty,Cornish or otherwise,but that looks delicious. Great review 👍
Thank you 😋
Where do you live?
My Gran was from Cornwall she moved to Lancashire when she married my Grandad and she made the most delicious pasties to the original Cornish recipe no additives just meat potato and Swede and really scrumptious pastry and at least a foot long those were the days
That would be skirt beef, my Grandmother ditto.
They do look nice. Nearest Morrisons to me is about 20 miles way. Good review mate
Nice one
....about the palm oil and this is from wikipedia: "The use of palm oil has attracted the concern of environmental groups due to deforestation in the tropics where palms are grown, and has been cited as a factor in social problems due to allegations of human rights violations among growers".....so there you have it. Palm oil = not good.....mind you, most of the "ultra processed" food we eat these days isn't good for us (that's the majority of food from supermarkets) so it's no wonder the incidence of obesity, type 2 diabetes, strokes and cancer is going through the roof in this country. There's a very true saying "you are what you eat" and modern ultra processed food is killing us all! ☹
Love a good Cornish pasty Gareth.
Enjoy the decent weather while we can.😃
Cheers Ian
Well that’s just mad Gaz. Only last week a friend asked me did I ever had a Cornish
pasty? I said yeah they were lovely but I haven’t seen them for sale (in Ireland) in years. He agreed. I was a huge fan of the peppery taste and my Gosh the flavour. You could get them in every hot deli from service station to supermarkets. But they have just disappeared. I’m now wondering if it’s because of this law that they are not actually made in Cornwall???
Palm oil has been and continues to be a major driver of deforestation of some of the world's most biodiverse forests, destroying the habitat of already endangered species like the Orangutan, pygmy elephant and Sumatran rhino. We try to avoid. Even sustainable raises problems. Love your channel! ❣
I've had them from Morrisons, they are cooked in store, they are ok but, go to bakery in Cornwall, a village bakery, they are amazing !
Thanks for the good video mate, love pies, do get a Cornish pie now and then, very good. I wolf them down. Can understand those miners, would burn 1000 s of calories, you need a couple. True, when your hungry eat anything.
Thanks 👍
Not as some people think in some of the comments is the point of region protection. It's to stop large manufacturers from producing a product at a much cheaper cost and taking away the business from local, more bespoke traditional bakeries that have been there for years. This keep profits and employment within the region rather than greedy corporate enterprises who dont care in the slightest about anything other than profit.
Same in France and Italy, protecting local markets, it's good! 😊
I like a true cornish pastie and we have a Morrisons so i am going to give these a try. Thankyou Gareth 🥟😋
Cheers John
Originally, I think they had like stewed apple in one end and the meaty section at the other. I don't know if they're genuine CORNISH pasties at Morrisons but I have to agree with your Dad and say Morrison pies and hot counter in general is pretty good. Especially against Greggs which I find more and more biege and boring. Greggs, used to be pretty good, but it's all pasty bland beige dullness nowadays. They don't even do those iced fingers anymore. But yeah you can generally pick up some decent hot food from Morrisons, the full cooked chicken is great to make sarnies with for instance.
Cheers for the information 👍
Gareth, you don't have to eat both pasties in one go. You could even freeze one!
Yes had the other four my tea
You can't beat that price , love a pastie , with a bit of HP and big glass of cold milk to wash it down ..magic .
I think Morrisons pasties etc from their deli are a step up from a lot of the other supermarkets. You can even get a huge deep quiche from their deli bit for a fiver. That's something that would be perfect for people having a party and making their own buffet. You wouldn't get anything like that from the deli of the Supermarket beginning with T. And I shouldn't really say that because I work there lol. If you go into our local Morrisons from about 4pm all that stuff is reduced at least half price.
Cheers Pete
If I go to our nearest morrisons after four pm the bakery has almost always sold out!
Certainly love Morrisons fresh baked in store cheese & onion pasties the flakey pastry is very light can't be that full of calories. Scotch pies are great too.
You can have two pasties. It is O.K. The downside is that when you get back you will have to mow & weed the garden & hoover, dust & tidy the house & hang the washing out. That will use some extra calories up.
I don't really do Morrison's but I do do Cornish pasties. I'm from Devon, we were weaned on them.
Sounds like a good buy. I have just had 2 Morrisons The Best all butter scones wow absolutely beautiful. I didnt even have butter on one of them, so nice.
Sounds great!
At £1.72 per pasty they compare pricewise favourably with Pukka and Ginsters pasties. Did you ask for potato and meat pies and did they tell you those pies have been discontinued? That's what I was told in my local Morrisons in South Lincolnshire.
It was a year ago, so might not be around now. It had Potato and Meat on the wrapper. I reviewed it. Pie playlist. Cheers.
pie like that would be 6 quid each here in sweden.
you lot have it so good.
Cheers wow that's expensive
Hi just come back to see this one as I live in Devon we're the first pasties we're made.
That's why we ask for pastie not corniche....
I like the cornish pasties from the poundbakery, there pretty small but tasty for £1 🥧
You can not beat a Cornish pastie very nice Cornwall is the place to be to find the best pasties palm oil is not good for you
They look very nice. While they can obviously be eaten cold, personally I'd prefer them warmed up.
I know a few years ago they did collaboration with Crantock post office In Crantock Cornwall who make the corniche pasties fresh on the premises each day. Tried both from the Crantock itself and the ones from Morrisns 8nleeds ans they were identical.enjoy
They also used to have savory oneside and the other side sweet so that the miners got a dessert too. The used to throw the crimp edge away after eating rest of pasty. X
Thank you
My missus and I used to go to our local Morrisons down Teignmouth for some pasties every weekend but they’ve not had any in for ages , not sure what the problem is 🙄
I just love watching you eat, it gives me a real appetite. ;)
Thank you 😋
Cheers Gaz, you've just gave me another idea for a meal for my son 👍 I never think when I ask for Cornish pasties, was it made there, I suppose it's like me when I hear people asking for "scotch pie" I'll chirp in and say " it's a Scottish pie, no scotch, because it's no made wae whiskey"😂 ❤
You're welcome 😊
eh up gaz .
those pasties looked nice and as for the writing on them "T I C " , it could mean trapped in cornwall was there a sticker on or in the bag that said "send help" lol.
and iv been into the local co-op (or as we say it kwap) again and those rustlers burgers are now £1.25 down from £1.60 !.
Cheers Mike
they’ve changed their pasties they used to be crimped in the centre an full of mush that looks much nicer
Cheers for the information 👍
