I wouldn't touch a Ginsters with a barge pole, but 14% meat sounds about right for a pasty considering the other ingredients needed.
I've never found a decent cold shop bought pasty (don't think nice ones exist). I tend to buy pastys from my local shop frozen (cheaper) and cook when needed.
I find the extra large Ginsters actually too big myself, so I tend to prefer the normal size and I think the chicken and bacon Ginsters pasty (which only seems to be available in normal size) is a better tasting version. It does amuse me how all the Ginsters-haters come out and berate the pasty on HUKD and then usually don't offer a better nationally-available alternative around the same price.

Try reading a recipe and making your own. I love when people buy and eat this rubbish and then defend it like there are no alternatives.

Greggs are planning to open 50 shops in Northern Ireland. They currently have 1 there. Time to warn the population.

I agree that these r crap but can anyone recommend a decent pasty? Always looking.

Go to a Cornish Pasty shop in your town if they have one. Ones that sell proper Cornish pasties

Any village far West of the Tamar will have proper pasties for sale. I prefer Rowes and never Warrens

Ginsters should never be associated with the words "Cornish" & "Pasty". Cold.

I'm not so sure, I like them cold. That is until I broke a tooth on a bone in one. :disappointed:

They'd need to quadruple the price for a start.

I'm afraid I agree.
I guess they use to be nice years ago, but have not eaten them for years as always find grizzly bits in them and no taste apart from salt.
Sorry.

Or healthy. If Greggs & Ginsters were banned, it would pretty much solve the UK's obesity crisis :wink:

I was shocked the other day when I actually thought I preferred a Ginsters to a local made offering.
From my childhood memories of holidays in Cornwall, a proper pasty should have thin layers of potato not chunks, and only a touch of pepper. I find a lot of 'traditional' 'proper' ones have too much pepper. Something at least Ginsters avoids.
When in a foreign county I sometimes settle for a Ginsters cold when need a quick bite to eat. Got to be healthier than most fast food outlets, even if only psychologically.

Truly awful. It's a shame that there could be some people who eat this thinking it's actually an example of a Cornish pasty, what a poor impression they will get of something so wonderful.
I'll offer a better alternative, starve.

These are a good price but with 102% of daily fat allowance and 55% salt intake - this bit is not good.

Barnecuts for me, nice and juicy, rowes can be a little too dry. Though Asda in Bodmin sell rowes pastys for £1 in the foyer. Always clear them out when passing the A30 :laughing:

No no no. This is NOT a Cornish Pasty. its dog food in pastry

I just eat the filling and that seems spicy to me rather than salty. The pastry is rather dry so the birds get that.

'Beef' is a word with a very wide and strange meaning when it comes to UK food regulations. And there's only 14% of that - whatever it is! :confused:

Or make them yourself, I made this recipe and they were ansom, though the pastry was a little dry, might need more fat http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/396158/Hairy-Bikers--The-People-s-Cornish-pasty
