This is now one of my favourite channels ☺️I've not finished watching but I came across your channel this morning and I've binged watched so many of these comparison videos, definitely going to be adjusting my shopping to try more of the just essentials range 👀 thank you for these videos they are really informative and very funny 🤣 as a northerner myself it's good to see someone from my own neck of the woods 🤝🏼
What was the factory called? I can remember 15 years or so ago collecting some stuff from a factory in Donny & whilst waiting I saw pallets of the boxes of curry powder. Buggered if I remember.
Hey Gaz new subscriber here, love your salt of the earth perspective and honest takes! And at a time like this your content is extremely valuable to us plebs trying to make ends meet.
I'm quite fond of the Mayflower curry sauce mix - I make up a pan's worth on the hob, then throw in the cooked chips and give it a good old stir around to make sure all the chips are coated. 😋
I bought some spaghetti bolognese sainsburys own brand it was 70p a can, might have been an offer but Heinz was £1 .40, dropped in a couple of weeks later same can 90p a can, they say inflation is lower, but I am not seeing that when shopping. 20p rise in 2 weeks.
I agree Gaz, that mayflower sauce is delicious! They have a video on here showing how to make a Chinese chicken curry using their sauce mix and it tastes just like a takeaway curry at a fraction on the price 👍🏻
Top review, Gareth. Thank you. They just get better and better, and they weren't bad to start with ! I'm not a Curry Man I'm afraid, but they both looked nice I have to say. Don't think you would be disappointed with either. Cheers !
Good review thanks Gareth, I noticed the one you liked best was the one with crinkle cut chips, they are always a winner for me, better than the straight cut ones, thanks again
Gareth you make me laugh, don't change anything in the way you do your videos. Within a few minutes you forgot the price, turning 50 is the problem age is creeping up with you. 😄👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi there was another great video like always just to say I do enjoy watching these videos like how you do them think it’s a good idea and it shows everybody the difference in the value and what the quality is like as well it’s a really good work keep up the good work
I do my grocery shopping online because of ill-health and from Morrison's regularly get the Bisto Chips In Curry Sauce, which says it is mild but isn't mild enough for me, so I mix mayonnaise into the curry sauce to make it milder, so that it tastes like a coronation curry sauce and I enjoy it that way. That's usually what I do if a curry sauce isn't mild enough for me otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat it. I have thought if ever I do a online grocery shop at Asda that I would try their version of chips in curry sauce.
Great reviews as usual Gareth.I cant shop at Asda anymore due to the price on the shelf being different from the scanned price, this has been going on for years,today at the Arbroath store it was the FIRST thing i picked up, a French Stick with lable at £1.10 scanned through at £1.15 only 5p but it happens all the time. and has been going on since before the current takeover.
Same ,its not just a coincidence, I watch all prices,and you can guarantee, I've got to call assistant to adjust computer, and get my money back, I bet ya some people walk away, in hurry ,need to catch bus etc or just accept,,but imagine if it was a small shop( if ya can find one)
I do like the Asda one it's lovely with a bit of vinegar on 😋 I have found though there seems to be less chips than when I first started getting them. But it's still decent enough for the price. Another good review Gareth x
I have tried the mayflower one and thought the chips were awful but will try the asda one,cheers Gareth matey for another honest review,stay safe always.
Gaz , myself and the missus have just had the Mayflower curry sauce and chips. I cooked also mini chicken fillets with mushrooms , onions and some garlic powder. We both agreed that your review as usual was spot on . Lol no punn intended . I found out from a lovely cashier said they also sell the curry sauce. It's very very popular .
Love your videos. Watch them all the time! Making me fancy chips n curry now. Especially the mayflower ones. You can’t explain the taste of it but I know exactly what you mean about the flavour 😅
I buy the Mayflower ones from our local Heron, lovely curry sauce and plenty of it. I put what I don't need into small foil dishes - or an ice cube tray - and freeze them.
Did a Tesco shop today. Been binging your channel for the past week, so I bought the cheapest alternative to everything I usually get. Cant believe how much I saved . Let's see how it goes! Thanks your channel is helpful, not just entertaining 👊👊👊
I love the Mayflower curry and chips, Iceland have their own version as well although I've not seen it lately. With the Iceland one you do get a bigger portion but the quality isn't as good as it is with the Mayflower.
Both very nice Gareth, much cheaper than going to a Chinese or chippy. I love the Mayflower Beef Curries they sell in Poundland A few months ago they were £1.50, now they are £2.00 Much more than 10% inflation (I think shops are milking it) 10% inflation would mean £1.65 (NOT £2.00) We are being diddled 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁
Thanks for putting me on to the farmfood 8 pack fishcakes exacjly the same as the chippy fishcakes and they charge nearly as much for one as it costs for a pack of 8 luv em
I was in farmfoods today and they have some signature meals that look decent. They're 3 for £10. Lamb keema bhuna, the steak cottage pie and the butter chicken looked the nicest. They also have some new Kershaw's meals they do spaghetti Bolognese with garlic bread and lasagne and chips. Another item that looked interesting was some chicken mini fillets, salt and vinegar flavour and the odd one sour cream and onion flavour.
Great review,i buy McCain micro chips and Asda chip shop curry sauce granules if Iam feeling decadent!The McCains are expensive but it stops me from going mental..and its got to be crinkle.
I have never eaten chips and curry sauce but would like to try it now. The Mayflower one looked good. Not sure why but crinkle cut chips always taste better🤣
I used to buy the Asda one years ago, it is very nice. They also used to do chips in gravy, and cheese omlettes, I loved the omlettes, there was 2 in a box, microwave them, they were light and delicious, I wish they still did them now.
I used to love getting the Mayflower frozen curry sauce packets from Heron foods. Quick blast in the microwave then pop it over some proper cooked chips and you can't go wrong. Always find these chip meals a bit lacking in quantity.. but maybe that's just me being greedy 🤔😂
I love chips and curry sauce from the Chinese or the chippy, these look a lot like my plate once I’ve got the chips out and poured the sauce on. I’ll grab some and give it a try.
I’m sure a lot of Chinese places use mayflower, there’s fish shops by me that use it too! Can’t deal the sweet curry sauce especially not with sultanas 🤢
@@IamBATMAN2024 I didn’t know they put fruit in it like apples. I just read that earlier on another comment and it freaked me out a bit. I don’t think I’ve ever had fruity curry sauce.
You made me and the missus hungry gazzer.. So we chipped some nice potatoes.. Fried up a packet of butchers choice sausages.. Then made up some lovely mayflower curry on the hob.. Tipped all over the chips.. Bit of salt and vinegar.. Bang bloody lovely.
I've often wondered what these are like...kids go to their dad's every weekend and I do hate having to put oven on ....airfryer hob etc when it's just me. This would be perfect ...esp with rice or homemade egg fried rice ...becomes a fast easy tea.
Good video gareth. At a time when we are all looking for value for money mayflower never let's you down. Their curry sauce is very close to takeaway quality imo.
I have had the farm foods ones for there price i like them .Bisto do a curry sauce now i have tried it but thought it was nothing special they also do an american style hot and spicy that i did like and many others than just gravy .
mmmmmm, curry sauce and chips, that brings back memories, i would pay Asda a visit but it is such a soul destroying place, i will have to get one of my minions to go in my place
I like you do the comparison - and as ever, your vids. But I do worry that people buy these things to save money, when they really aren't. Cheapo oven chips, and a few onions, herbs and spices - and if you want to be flash add in some coconut milk - will make multiple times as many helpings - I dunno five or six - for the price of two of the Mayflower.
Love the videos Gaz, always makes me laugh, so please don't change how you do them. And who doesn't need a laugh in these uncertain times 😃😃
Thank you, I'm not changing 👍
I absolutely agree! I love the way Gareth does his videos and I genuinely look forward to them everyday! 🙂
@@BaldFoodieGuy may I ask is RUclips your full time job?
What do you mean uncertain times ?
You can’t go wrong with Mayflower products, really nice, good tasting food👍

Used to work in the factory in Doncaster where they make the curry and chips some grafters in that factory on minimum wage .
What was the factory called? I can remember 15 years or so ago collecting some stuff from a factory in Donny & whilst waiting I saw pallets of the boxes of curry powder. Buggered if I remember.
Another great review Gareth love. May flower curry sauce. I make that a lot cheers Haaretz xxx👍👍👍👍👍

Yep me too. have a few packs stocked up in cupboard. The extra spicy version is really good if you like a hot curry.
@@RS.Outdoors the normal one is alot tastier than the extra hot one but I like it spicy so I make it with half quantities of each.
Great videos Gareth, thank you very much.
Glad you like them!

glad i could help pal
Tescos are extortionate though. I did a big shop at Tescos last week, I nearly fell through the floor when the final bill come in.
Ooooh, nearly 50k subscribers. I'll be celebrating for you with a good stout (stoot)
Oh nice one, thank you
I tried the Mayflower one recently and was surprised at how tasty it was! Love that it's crinkle cut chips 😁 Great review as usual 👍
thanks pal
I'd mop up the extra curry sauce with a crunchy French bread, buttered. Great review, thanks from Canada.
cheers John, Canada is a lovely place.
Your funny Gareth always make me laugh 🙌
Great video mate...love curry sauce and chips with salad cream all over them.yum yum..🤣🤣
Thank you
The fun bit is you make us laugh, the serious bit is your taking the hit so we don’t have to 👍👍
haha cheers
Great review again take care bud.
Cheers pal 👍👍
Another great vid, thanks 👍👍
You're welcome
Another great video Gareth , it appears a lot of the Asda essential range is not bad quality at all . Regards mark
Cheers Mark
Yep ! Mayflower every time 💯always have the curry powder sauce mix at home 😋
I get Asda home delivery & now get the just essential curry + chips, its lovely 👍
I like the mayflower curry sauce, you can get the frozen version, or the one you do on the hob, i get the hob one, it goes great on chip shop chips.
Love mayflower and i add chinese five spice to it,a wee sprinkle of five spice on the bugget ones will enhance the flavour no end.
I love the Mayflower curry and chips, Iceland have their own version as well although I've not seen it lately. With the Iceland one you do get a bigger portion but the quality isn't as good as it is with the Mayflower.
Great video you can get the mayflower chips and curry in pound land for a £1.00 got some today 😋
Nice one good information cheers
Your memory is worse than mine! 😂😂 Great video though, I’m going for the Mayflower! 😋🥰
Love all your comparison videos bro 🤣
I appreciate that!
You been in my freezer,got both of them,great for a quick tea.
When I lived in Yorkshire loved chip shop curry as it had raisins in it 👍.
Yes they put them in the sauce here too.
Both very nice Gareth, much cheaper than going to a Chinese or chippy.
I love the Mayflower Beef Curries they sell in Poundland
A few months ago they were £1.50, now they are £2.00
Much more than 10% inflation
(I think shops are milking it)
10% inflation would mean £1.65 (NOT £2.00)
We are being diddled
👍🏻👍🏻😁😁
Correct
we certainly are Lee
Yes mayflower beef curry from farmfoods is by far the best frozen Chinese curry you can buy.
I'm partial to curry and chips, thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜
You're welcome Barbie xx
Just the job Gareth, for if you don't fancy a big dinner, I love curry and chips x thank you 💞
Thank you Mary, have a nice day.
@@BaldFoodieGuy with a curried chip buttie x God bless Gareth x
Great review again Gareth. For 30p your better off with the better one. And yes as l have been saying prices are just going up.
Thank you
if you get chance, try Maykway curry sauce, preferably the hot one as it has more flavour than mild!
Love you videos and you as a character ;) Subbed :)
Thank you very much, welcome to the channel. All the best, Gareth 👍👍
I love mayflower curry, l buy the box , it’s only £ 1.19. 😋 Great review Gareth.👍
Thank you
Thanks for putting me on to the farmfood 8 pack fishcakes exacjly the same as the chippy fishcakes and they charge nearly as much for one as it costs for a pack of 8 luv em
Just need to pop out to Farm foods for curry and chips! My mouth is watering 😋
Enjoy 👌
Both go beautifully on homemade chips and rice.
Had the Asda curry and chips the other day as an accompaniment to their chicken curry with rice. Not bad at all. Quite enjoyed them.

I buy the curry sauce by mayflower it's really nice because you can add what you want into it, also make as little or as much as you want!
Great tip!
Every time I come back to the UK, Beef Pie, Chips and Gravy with Curry Sauce at the first chippy. Maybe a fritter.
Tried the mayflower as a snack couple week ago ok with a few rounds b n b sound video 👍
cheers Mick
Nice review thanks top guy 😎👍
No problem 👍
Mayflower is the best curry sauce you can buy, it's exactly the same as my local restaurant, can't beat it.

I was getting my hopes up that one of them wouldn’t have wheat in them. I crave chip shop curry so much.
I love mayflower curry cheers for trying both 😋
You're welcome

Fry onion add chicken stock stir in mayflower sauce powder.Dont use oxo but good stock from carcass or boil two drums for 400fls spectacular
Thanks for the tips!
I love the seal peel Test Gareth
Haha cheers pal
Try that mayflower curry sauce they do in the range it's soo good
Love some curry chips. Think I’ll get some from chippy, tomorrow. I’m so hungry right now. Gonna do a burger or something.
I have had the farm foods ones for there price i like them .Bisto do a curry sauce now i have tried it but thought it was nothing special they also do an american style hot and spicy that i did like and many others than just gravy .
Curry Yuk, love your comparisons though Gareth 👍
Cheers pal
gorgeous these with sausage or a meat pie mmmmm, especially the Mayflower Curry sauce !
You can get nice big packets of mayflower curry sauce powder, only takes 5 mins to make mix with water on the hob.
I’ll take the mayflower anytime Gareth, had the asda one before, too much coconut for me, but both of them could definitely do with more chips in them
Cheers Alan
You could always make yourself a fav sarny and use up the sauce as a dip to enhance and fill your tum.
mmmmmm, curry sauce and chips, that brings back memories, i would pay Asda a visit but it is such a soul destroying place, i will have to get one of my minions to go in my place
Thank you
I like you do the comparison - and as ever, your vids. But I do worry that people buy these things to save money, when they really aren't. Cheapo oven chips, and a few onions, herbs and spices - and if you want to be flash add in some coconut milk - will make multiple times as many helpings - I dunno five or six - for the price of two of the Mayflower.
cheers Lord
I had royal game and mash potatoes garden peas yummy in my tummy.
Love mayflower curry sauce really nice i like to make my own chips and box curry sauce i have big stock of the mayflower lol x
We use mayflower curry sauce at work all farmhouse inns use the same curry sauce it is stunning
Sounds great!
Oh will have to try that mayflower one I no the Asda just essential one is good also but like u I do like mayflower curry
Cheers David 👍👍
