      It's a bit like fast food restaurants. You go in and see a picture of a nice juicy burger then, when you get it to your table and unwrap it, you have something that looks like a bit like flattened hedgehog and nothing like the picture at all. It ought to be covered by the trade descriptions act.

      To be fair you do tend to pay significantly more in farm shops, but you are generally getting a far superior product. Supermarkets screw their suppliers down to the last penny to maximise their own profits and this kind of thing is often the result.

    Lidl is my usual haunt, being just down the road from me, so this is particularly useful. I'm of an age myself where I really miss those massive, full pies that Morrisons used to do, back when they had fresh food available rather than all packaged, and don't mind paying for what I like, so if the price were high, I'd still be there because I'm getting then what I actually want to eat. With these cheap pies, I always feel you can taste what's missing, if you get me. They dissatisfy, all the time, and merely being cheap is not an actual pleasure, I feel.

  • @jeffcook3747

    They`re trying to replace the ingredients and keep flavour with loads of fat(78.8 g fat in this pie/112% of your daily allowance). Another thing some supermarkets do is to replace fruit with sugar which keeps the price down and tricks our taste buds. The most appealing thing about this item is the box. lol

    @wildthing6668813 23 дні тому +1

    They are reducing the percentages of the main ingredients and with some other ingredients they are using cheaper ingredients like palm oil. There will only be so far they can go with reducing the main ingredients like beef, chicken and pork before the pie isn't a pie. If the pie is 450g and they claim 18% then it's 81g of chicken per pie. One thing about any product is that they can put the letter E on the packaging meaning that there could be a lot less of the main ingredients in the pie or product. The pie could have as little as 3% chicken and bacon, just a few small pieces and more leeks than anything and they call it a chicken pie.
    Always look for the letter E on any product this is what the producers do so they can put less of the product in the item and still call it by the main ingredients name i.e. a chicken, bacon and leek pie.

    Great video again. I find if you pop the pie out of the foil and then re-sit it back in the foil before cooking it comes out easier. Tried loads of steak pies from all places and can never find a decent one at all. Gonna have to learn to make my own I suppose, as the amount of meat you get and the quality of the meat seems to just be shameful whichever brand you purchase. Enjoyed seeing the indoor vegetable plot, will be nice to see how they get on over your next lot of videos.

    Your also paying for a lot of Air,I recommend trying Mud food pies they are freshly baked full of flavour and packed from base to top and the pastry is butter pastry a little expensive but you pay for what you get and it supports British farmers.

    Try the Aldi oxtail soup in a tin. It tastes lovely but the picture shows a lovely meaty soup but you struggle to find a bit in the soup

    I finally got my pie maker after all the disappointing pies I’ve brought from supermarkets over the years and after making a pie in the pie maker I vow I will never buy another pie from a supermarket again !

    FYI when it gives you the percentage of chicken this includes chicken skin and chicken fat. Sometimes it’s a volumetric deposit and as long as the percentage of chicken is correct across the whole run it’s legal.

    Aldi mate. Try their special selected Chicken, bacon and leak, or their Steak pie. They're in the fresh aisle. Trust me 👌

    Best pies I ever had were from P’s Pies in my hometown but it shut down in the late 90s! I got offered work there when I was a nipper but I was already working but my mates did and the pies were top class no skimping on filling at all and the pastry was very buttery and it was always a good way to start a weekend before a few beers!

    Gareth you said it go to a good home produce farm shop for a comparison. You'll defiantly pay more but you will get a quality product. Actually if you google quality pies for sale you will find lots of producers with 5 star reviews, that also deliver.
    It's not always best to buy cheap as chips products.
