Nasty things full of dodgy meat!

As a member of the Ginsters Brand Team, I can inform you it is a hard 'G', such is the celtic nature of our illustrious founder's origins. He was Geoffrey Ginster, in fact.

There's no gin in Ginsters, remember that! (and also that our sexy new pork & apple pasties are out in the next couple of weeks!)

Didn't mean to offend wink In fairness, you hardly get high quality beef in any manufactured pasties but I'm prepared to trust that it's of a reasonable grade in both, however I tend to find the Ginster's ones more peppery than the West Cornish ones. smile

Oh yes, we like our pepper!

We're the only pasty manufacturer of note that ONLY uses fresh (never frozen) British beef, pork, chicken, bacon, eggs & cheese. Not to bore you but all of our beef comes from about 7 miles up the road and nearly all our veg comes from fields in south Cornwall. We like our local farmers too!

Anyway, Kinky likes them!

Bookers do stock them, but not the whole range.

Except for cheese & onion (or Three Cheese & Onion Pasty as it now is) every single attempt at a vegetarian pasty or slice has died a short and painful death due to lack of interest. Not saying you wouldn't be interested in them, but when we're knocking out 4 million pasties a week, making 10,000 for our vegetarian friends isn't easy!

Mind you, launching in April will be a new savoury wrap, as our fiery cheese wrap returns. Don't have one before an important meeting or romantic date!

Are you sure that *ALL* the beef that Ginsters uses comes from Jaspers?

That's ironic, I find that Ginsters pasries, although tasty, have no meat whatsoever in them, unless you mean gristle of course. I found a piece of something revolting in one once that no one could call meat so duly contacted Ginsters Customer Service.....I got no reply
