    I'm with you Ana. Patronising. How about we don't buy any of their products. Lets see how long they don't need our 'patronising'. We have been loyal patrons foolishly buying their stuff not realising exactly what they are putting in our food. The food revolution is real and I am so glad to be a part of trying to right the wrongs. Thanks for all your hard work. Much love from Scotland 🤗

      Exactly, and in America, ‘natural flavouring’ hosts a NUMBER of horrific stuff like MSG, and a slew of other additives I don’t want in my consumable food. I am also steering away from emulsifiers. The alcohol I don’t mind so much 😜. But hey-ho we are all unique.

    What you point out is very true. For health reasons my wife cannot have rapeseed oil, and I choose not to eat it too. It is toxlc, and harmful to health.
    Because of this I read every label. I have noticed that it is now in many, many foods, whereas previously it was not.
    For example, ready to eat olives. I would have expected them to be coated with olive oil - but no, it is rapeseed oil.
    Soup, from most of the big names, has rapeseed oil as the second or third ingredient by quantity. Also artificial milks have a lot.
    I honestly do not think that there is any reason for this, other than just one more way to weaken us, and promote ill health.

    Hi Ana. Thanks for the info, as always very helpful and informative. I am now semi-retired and now that I have some spare time, I've taken to baking and cooking more (happy wife = happy life!) By a strange coincidence I recently noticed the same thing about ready to use pastry. I'm now making my own, and also my own bread. I know I'm fortunate to have the time to do this, but I'm enjoying the pleasure I get from making it and the nice comments I get from my family and knowing that it's more healthy. We haven't bought a 'factory' loaf since November last year. I'm not going back now, everything I look at just seems to have so many chemicals in, it's like they're trying to poison us. Keep up the good work, I always recommend your channel to people when I'm talking about food 🙂

    Adding alcohol to shortcrust pastry isn't that unusual, it makes the pastry bake a little harder. In some shortcrust pastry recipes it makes the pastry melt in the mouth more readily. However I do agree this is an optional ingredient and should be declared more prominently. Pastry certainly does NOT include yeast which is used in bread making. Like you I prefer to make my own pastry whenever I can using the natural ingredients.

    Ooh they are being smarmy for you questioning them! Shortcrust pastry is the easiest to make and can be made and frozen for use later! Puff is a bit more intensive, I've not made that yet, but it's certainly something I need to do - any failures can be given to the wild birds that appreciate the fatty dough mix! One grandmother, who was a terrific cook, never made puff because her "hands were too hot", whilst the other grandmother's puff was absolutely delicious and I've never had pastry like hers since - strangely she never made shortcrust.

    I don't see the problem. Sorry,but they Did reply stating that there's at most 2% alcohol the majority of which will cook off. Do you realise how rapidly 3 grams of alcohol would evaporate in a cosy warm living room. Probably within an hour. This pastry is going into a hot oven. I'm certain there'll be no presence of alcohol after 30 minutes cooking in an oven. But if somehow, 0.1% remains it's 5 times less than what's allowed present in an "alcohol free" beer.( Which is max of 0.5 %). And after all it IS listed in the ingredients and lastly because it's the least quantity ingredient. Some people might hate that there's palm oil in there,some may take offence that flavourings are in there etc. You could say why?. And why isn't it made clear on the packaging? Well actually ,to my mind ,it is !.
