Hi again Gareth, here in China one of my neighbours was sending her son off to school each day with a very expensive Australian steak pie bought from a high-end supermarket in the city. I decided to try one, the Pukka reminds me of it very much. Took it home, heated it up, cut into it to find the majority of the filling was fresh air along with just 24g of meat! As I have my own micro-bakery I set to and produced pies guaranteed to contain at least 100g of the finest beef. I can sell these all day at less than half the cost of the Australian pie and with an excellent profit margin. Just goes to show what these large food conglomerates take or try to take from our pockets….
Incidentally, MSG occurs naturally in lotsa foods including tomatoes and mushrooms so you’re eating it without realising it! It’s had such a bad press over the years but in moderation, won’t hurt you at all….
There was a scandalous news report in the 1970s in America slamming and damn in MSG. It was completely made up and exaggerated in the media, as a result 99.9% of Americans, 40 years later, think MSG will kill you faster than cyanide!! They're a strange bunch!
Absolutely love your food reviews Gareth, so honest and to the point. Look forward to seeing them daily an honest guy making honest reviews. Thumbs up all day everyday 👍👍
As a 16 year old apprentice, grabbing a steak pie from the cold counter and eating it. I don't think we had a microwave at work in mid 70's. I can still taste that fat sticking to the roof of my mouth.

You are consuming a lot of salt, msg and fat in these pies. Do get your blood pressure checked as your health may be damaged by over consumption of this stuff. Take care all the best and spot on . Regards a well wisher .
Great video, mate. I am a new subscriber and I am loving your channel. For anybody who worries about MSG, MSG is actually safer than salt and reduces your sodium consumption vs salt. Both are flavour enhancers, but salt contains 3 times more sodium than MSG. I always have MSG in my kitchen. Thanks for your content, mate. I have been binge watching it today.
I’m binge watching some of your reviews Gareth, they’re really helpful, I’ll be getting through all of them in the end. Did anyone tell you off for eating with a knife? 😳
One thing I have noticed about my reaction too your videos. Is that I have quickly come to have faith in your opinions. Good straight talking, and no corrupting agendas getting in the way. Bravo my friend. That is an accomplishment in itself.
Most things are full of msg even packs of crisps and your right about the Chinese takeaway it's one of the most used condiments 😉 the takeaway distinctive flavor
I've always found that you don't get as much filling as you are led to expect with the Pukka pies. They do taste nice tho. The one I'd buy is the cheapest. Good flavour and good value.
You rarely do get a full pie imo with the vast majority of brands and even restaurants. You've got to go to Turners Pies or something and then you're paying silly money but it's good. Cheap Pukkas on offer are tasty enough but never expect it spilling with meat.
I like Morrison’s Steak pies for pure value and the shortcrust pastry is a winner. I buy two and take the tops off both, then empty the contents of one into the other and discard the pastry casing. Beautiful and a cheep tasty meal.
Contrary to popular belief, MSG is found in natural substances, typically mushrooms and fungi. It's not proven to be particularly bad as long as taken in moderation, much like many other things... EDIT: It also tastes amazing :D :D
Loving these vids comparing! Would be great to see a Bacon or Sausage comparison so we know where to go to get the Saturday fry-up from! All the best, Keep up the good work mate.
Can not understand why you are not the size of a house all that food you eat. But must admit I do enjoy watching you fill your face just glad i do not have to eat them to keep it up you are doing a fantastic job
Gareth, I recently bought a pack of four Holland's Cheese and Onion Pies. The cooking instructions stated they could be cooked in the oven or microwaved. I plumped for microwaving, the instructions said that the product should be cooked from frozen in an 800 microwave for THREE MINUTES! Three minutes from frozen sounded absurd, but I tried it and of course after three minutes they were almost still frozen. Thinking I was being helpful I emailed Holland, informing them that the microwave cooking instructions were way out. I received a short reply just stating that microwave cooking times vary, that was that. No apology, no promise to amend their packaging, end of subject. Lousy example of customer relations and no more Holland's pies for me!
I've never had a Hollands pie, though the all-shortcrust pastry is very appealing to me. As for Pukka, I've always found them to have a rather large air-cavity inside which, considering their height, always makes me feel a little bit cheated - Growing up on the East London/Essex border I seldom encountered them as a youngster. Our local Chippies seemed to favour Peter's Pies (originally a Welsh company I seem to recall), which I always thought fine, especially the Chicken & Mushroom. As for the Morrison's pie, these are generally alright - Whenever I visit my young nephew (a Student) he invariably (and proudly) produces these for dinner, with crinkle-cut chips and baked beans, alongside a bottle of Chop Sauce (my own particular favourite). And I am very proud of him for it too! :)
As a pie lover Gareth, I would of eaten all of em, but have to say the Morrison one did look like a real old school pie. But I also love Pukka pies..great vid m8.
In the 1970's Holland's pies were a staple at my local fish & chip shops, today the chippy's are selling Pukka pies instead. The only place I see Holland's pies for sale is in freezer shops and supermarkets. I tend to buy luxury pies these days like "Harry Ramsden's" steak pie from Iceland, it's a bit pricey at £4, but it's packed with prime steak in a rich gravy.
Brilliant. I only discovered you the other day and I think now I must have watched your entire back catalogue. You need to copyright "mmmmmmmmmm" as your new catch phrase 👍.
Maybe an idea for future videos (if editing allows) would be to put up a table showing a comparison of weight, price, cost per 100g (example), fat content, salt etc. It definitely would appeal to me for comparison 😊
Damn fascinating, as I microwave whatever was available from the store in Los Angeles - frozen food items that actually taste good get difficult to find sometimes. But these shows provide a weird semblance of human interaction and a perfect dialogue about relaxed subjects (food seasonings etc.). Essential.
Only just came across this review and don't normally buy anything with mince in it, guess why ? However with yout test and the look of it, I'll give the Morrisons a try. Another helpful review.
Another excellent review Gaz, I'll go for the Morrison's one, however; funny watching you having to choose which one was best, invaluable review! Went shopping today but they didn't have what I wanted so I'll have to go back!?! Keep it up pal, 10K is just round the corner.
Only discovered your channel this afternoon. This is my 3rd video and I've already subscribed. You seem to be covering all my favourite comfort foods! I know you're Northern and probably have gravy running through your veins, but I do worry you might be twice the size by Christmas at this rate! :-)
Look out for Holland’s Pies in Tesco when they are on offer @ 1/2 price. Just bought some Meat Pies, Steak & Kidney puds and minced beef for the freezer at 55p each. Cheap Friday tea with mash or chips 😃
G-man👍 great little challenge there,love the way you say about the other half sharing after you've scooped out the middle "Here ya go love, I've saved you some,bit cold and empty!"😂😂 your subscribers expect showroom crockery please and not the old chipped ones from the back of the cupboard 😂only joking mate,great little vlog👍take care now buddy

Lol I use msg some of my cooking, makes it tastes like the takeaway... only need a lil pinch! Pack of msg lasts me longer than a bottle fairly washing up liquid Loved this lol don't forget that water 😂 Get your good lady her half of them pies before they go cold
I've never liked pukka pies, I always go for Morrisons or Asda pies. But lately I've been making my own. Much nicer and I know what's in it. Thank You for your very helpful post though.
The Pukka pies provide half time sustenance at my local football ground. We’ve piled on the timber ! But they are delicious. Important to make sure the base has been properly cooked.
Mate you make me laugh like fk so dry real British humour funny without even trying. SPOT ON 👍 And an extra special thank you to you and all the great service personnel that give so much and expect so little in return I solute you! Get this man a pint.
@Bald Foodie Guy Hi Gareth, I love your content and i am currently Spot on! Tesco's are smashing out Pukka Pies at the moment for a quid if you have a clubcard! I just bought an all steak Pukka with a tin of branston beans (The best IMO!) And some spiced potatoe wedges, In hindsight i thing mashed spuds would be more appropriate but wedges it is bcos i can't be arsed! 😁
I'll have to try morrisons minced before onion pie but I'll never have a nicer minced beef and onion pie that my mum made so lovely tasty and pastry really crumbly was her shot crust pastry but she not been here for 31 years love fran xxx
Shouldn't of watched this so late when all the shops are shut, can't stop craving pies now!🤣 And I can't bloody have one 😐😆 Gonna be thinking about pies till bedtime now hahaha
I think the protein count on one of these tells you whether the beef is the meat or other bits of the cow. So the morrisons one seemed to have more protein per percentage of beef which would mean the beef is more actual meat.
I cant believe I am subscribing your channel 🤣. But the only British food I really like is the soon to be extinct pies. It so damn difficult to find pubs that serve steak and kidney pies now a days. So it great you doing review on this.
Hi Gareth I've subscribed so I don't miss any... I must say you doing these reviews I've started getting my son the Pukka pies ... my son is x army like you and likes hearty food... thank you Gareth for you're reviews they are really helpful in deciding value for money and content... keep up the good reviews Gareth looking forward to many more...
Thank you Georgina very kind of you to say. Yes many more coming, glad you like them. I love all kinds of food, hearty food yes. All the best, Gareth 👍
can you tell I am binging on your vids lol my fav Hollings is a meat .I don't live in the UK so I never had a Morrisons .and we can't get Hollings pies much here any more .I do like a pucka pie .enjoying your whit you make me giggle 🤣
Great Stream Gareth All 3 pies looked great, there is something about Holland's pies that are nice. I like the pastry. Can't wait for your next stream Excellent, better than watching TV Best wishes Stay safe Regards Lee 👍🏻😁
It would be nice to see you investigate the world of pickles and chutneys one of these days. My own favourite being Brinjal/Aubergine pickle. Heavenly to taste. Goes well with Curries, Cheese and cold cuts of meat. Available as Pateks Aubergine pickle from Tesco. There are other makes of this pickle to.
Top top channel 👏 its right up my street , real man doing real affordable food reviews 👌 👍 I predict this channel will blow up into a massive earner for him and well deserved if it does.
@@BaldFoodieGuy all the best to you pal I'm going to be commenting on loads of your vids, you don't have to reply to me mate I won't be offended you seem a busy man . Keep up the good work you're smashing it
Great video BFG... I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you review these... I need to admit I nearly unsubbed when you reviewed the big Mac I think huge names like Macdonald's have already been over reviewed but videos like this we need more of.... For me pukka pie is winner but only because I love their pastry
It's a shame you don't have a Sainsbury's near you - at the time of filming I used to regularly buy Pukka pies from there and they were £1.00 each on offer. That would significantly help budget-wise :) Great review though 😁
Controversial, but I like my pies with a tin of soup poured over. For example for a minced beef and onion I'd have heinz oxtail. Meat and potato I like pea and ham or baxters cock-a-leekie. It's a common thing in Preston (home of the butter pie btw) but my partner from Manchester thinks its minging. I think it's just free a gravy (or liquor if your a cockney) Some of my friends like a tin of heinz tomato with a cheese and onion but that's not a combo I like. What's your view on the matter?
Just binge watched most of your videos 👍 problem is I should have been sorting the garden out 😂 now in deep 💩 with she that must be obeyed 🙄. Keep em coming 😀

Still like eating the cold pies but prefer chicken and mushroom now. Still sticks to the roof of your mouth.
I eat pies cold and used to do that when I worked trying to heat them in the microwave is usually a disaster.

If you wait till the winter months Pukka pies are usually on special on and off for about 3 months. Same applies to New Covent Garden soups.
That’s true. Pukka Pies are often £1. Worth buying and sticking in the freezer at that price.
Covent garden soups were at Park Royal but believe they moved.
What a fantastic change to find someone who appreciates proper food!

perhaps if you did a score sheet for each pie. points for pastry. gravy.quality of meat, price, etc. it may make it easier to choose a winner
Yes I could do. I'm trying to keep it simple but that's a good idea, all the best, Gareth
Actually, the pukka has more beef than morrisons as it was heavier. 21% of 215g = 45g of beef in the pukka vs 22% of 156g = 34g
Haha brilliant I'm not that clever
🤣🤣 Great mate, not had army banter in a while. 👍👍
Not if your looking at it in a over all way ! But actual weight your right !!!!

You should definitely do the odd hot sauce review. There's some great sauces out there outwith the supermarkets.
I've done some hot sauces in with the chicken meals on my playlist
Let's all join hands and give a huge fucking boo to Fray Bentos. The pie with one piece of meat in it....if ya lucky!
Hollands pies was a quarter of a mile away from my high school when I was a kid we had fresh hollands pies every day for dinner .
Love this just shows expensive isn't always better value
Good review! Pukka pies for us, Quite often sold at £1 in all the supermarket deals, We stock up and buy 12 at a time and freeze them :)

If you first microwave for a few minutes say 2mins then finish in the oven say 4mins it's quicker and less crispy pastry (which I prefer)

Cheers Lee, thank you 👍👍
Having sampled a Morrisons pie fresh out of the oven in the store, I can recommend them.
Yes I will try and get in early
It would be nice to see you investigate the world of pickles and chutneys one of these days.
My own favourite being Brinjal/Aubergine pickle. Heavenly to taste.
Goes well with Curries, Cheese and cold cuts of meat. Available as Pateks Aubergine pickle from Tesco. There are other makes of this pickle to.
Always a pleasure fallowing you Gavin. Take care mate.
Great suggestion!
@@BaldFoodieGuy thanks Gavin
Couldn't think of anything worse to eat....but heyho each to there own.
Top top channel 👏 its right up my street , real man doing real affordable food reviews 👌 👍 I predict this channel will blow up into a massive earner for him and well deserved if it does.
Thank you very much, all the best, Gareth

Great video BFG... I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you review these... I need to admit I nearly unsubbed when you reviewed the big Mac I think huge names like Macdonald's have already been over reviewed but videos like this we need more of.... For me pukka pie is winner but only because I love their pastry
Yes cheers Mark as a foodie I cover everything im sorry.
It's a shame you don't have a Sainsbury's near you - at the time of filming I used to regularly buy Pukka pies from there and they were £1.00 each on offer. That would significantly help budget-wise :)
Great review though 😁
Got a pukka minced beef and onion pie in the oven now for breakfast lol 😋
Yummy
Iceland stopped using Palm Oil in all it's products since 31st December 2018.
Value for money wise the Morrison is hard to beat, but the Pukka certainly wins on appearance... keep up the good work 👍
Cheers Chris yes by a hair 👍👍
They all looked tasty 😋 happy days 😊
Cheers Tracey👍👍
Controversial, but I like my pies with a tin of soup poured over. For example for a minced beef and onion I'd have heinz oxtail. Meat and potato I like pea and ham or baxters cock-a-leekie. It's a common thing in Preston (home of the butter pie btw) but my partner from Manchester thinks its minging. I think it's just free a gravy (or liquor if your a cockney) Some of my friends like a tin of heinz tomato with a cheese and onion but that's not a combo I like. What's your view on the matter?
sounds delicious that, no good when your on the move but i like the idea.
Hello mate, there is nothing wrong with MSG, infact a lot of chefs will use it.
It's in loads of foods and sauces. Bisto, ketchup, crisps. Pringles have loads
Thank you for the video and do they do Chicken xx
Cheers Nicola xx
What the hell am I doing, watching a fella eat pies LOL. Good on you chap.

Just binge watched most of your videos 👍 problem is I should have been sorting the garden out 😂 now in deep 💩 with she that must be obeyed 🙄. Keep em coming 😀
