GINSTERS IS NOT A TRUE CORNISH PASTY!

Taste the real thing almost anywhere else in Cornwall.

No thanks.

All I'm going to say is that when I was in the store last week, we had just won 7 straight. I bought a Ginsters (homesick - you take what you can get), and we promptly drew. I haven't bought one since, and we won away at Orient.

I'm not sure more evidence is required as to the effect Ginsters have on our results.

If you stand outside the Ginsters factory at Callington it smells nice..... then when you eat them the taste does not marry up to that smell....

They taste ten times better when the first come out of the oven and are still pipping hot than what you buy in the supermarkets.Once gone cold and wrapped in their little plastic film bags best left on the shelf. :thumbdown:

I preferred last season's Pilgrim pasties to both of them.

For what it's worth, when you're hundreds of miles from the westcountry and Ginsters is the only option, it's about 1000% better an oggie than any other variants normally available from supermarkets/petrol stations etc. I'm always pleased to see them available and will usually go for one.

Obviously I'd prefer a 'proper pasty' etc if living in the Westcountry, but I think the rep they get is a bit undeserved given they cover the whole of the UK!

You're so right Chepstow, it's all a very 'League of Gentlemen' response fron many... "local pastys, for local people'.

There's a huge national aspect to Ginsters that seems lost on the more parochial Devon and Cornwall based mindset which is fixated on pasty quality and sweeps the strong westcountry branding, all their other products, the umpty thrumpty million pound turnover, the local job creation and infinately higher profile association firmly under the carpet.

They're a great company to be linked/associated to on a national level, it's a shame many can't see a bigger picture for want of looking beyond the parish boundary.

Do I feel a "The Best Pasty Ever " Poll starting Soon ?

 

[GreenArmy1984]

Can't beat a Ginsters !

Surely there's more to life than standing outside the Ginsters factory in Callington? Each to there own :greensmile:

drove past it on the way to the U18s out Tavy, I thought it looked cheap and tacky, vulgar even.
