ASDA JUST ESSENTIALS Vs MAYFLOWER CURRY 'N' CHIPS Comparison

[@madcatlady2679]

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 😃😃

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thank you, I'm not changing 👍

[@woolycoat01]

I absolutely agree! I love the way Gareth does his videos and I genuinely look forward to them everyday! 🙂

What do you mean uncertain times ?

[@Marshmellowmanc]

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 🤝🏼

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Alex👍👍

[@johnhunter1588]

You can’t go wrong with Mayflower products, really nice, good tasting food👍

[@kevowski]

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 👍🏻

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Kev, yes it's good isn't it 👍👍

[@megancurtis1372]

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

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Megan xx

[@MissA3839]

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.

[@coryn1980]

Great video you can get the mayflower chips and curry in pound land for a £1.00 got some today 😋

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Nice one good information cheers

[@fredonline]

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. 😋

[@traceyhoyle1816]

Yummy 🤤

[@RS.Outdoors]

Yep me too. have a few packs stocked up in cupboard. The extra spicy version is really good if you like a hot curry.

[@timsilvester8143]

@@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.

[@LeeJohn70]

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 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁

[@jeewizz8646]

Correct

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

we certainly are Lee

[@matty6848]

Yes mayflower beef curry from farmfoods is by far the best frozen Chinese curry you can buy.

[@420haxx]

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.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Much appreciated thankyou

[@jeantootell2670]

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

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

You're welcome

[@Taz6688]

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.

[@inmedx]

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 🤔😂

[@matty6848]

I buy the mayflower curry powder. Just boil up with water and you can stir until the consistency to how you like👍

[@johnbowyer6902]

I'd mop up the extra curry sauce with a crunchy French bread, buttered. Great review, thanks from Canada.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers John, Canada is a lovely place.

[@mr.145]

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.

[@terencebarrett2897]

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)

Used to work in the factory in Doncaster where they make the curry and chips some grafters in that factory on minimum wage .

[@timsilvester8143]

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.

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 👍

[@stevenc5227]

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.

[@shaunbarker8290]

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 .

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Both yes look in the Mayflower playlist I've done a few of their meals. 👍

[@bridgetdoman1386]

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.

[@Dunco3550]

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.

[@dnurds]

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 😅

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

thanks pal 👍

[@tueton.]

if you get chance, try Maykway curry sauce, preferably the hot one as it has more flavour than mild!

[@mummyd1990]

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.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers pal

[@Matt19matt19]

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.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

cheers Matt will take a look in. Thanks mate

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.
