McDonnells brand aside, I'm loving the fact that there is hardly any sugar content in these sauces. As a type1 diabetic, this is music to my ears, because unless I'm mistaken, years ago Mayflower's curry sauce used to be loaded with sugar therefore I tended to stay away from it. But I'll be stocking up now. The Bisto one's are far too expensive and before you even tasted it I knew it wouldn't be up to much. Great review as always mate 👍

The value proposition of the powders and the paste is even better than stated because the Bisto one is already a sauce. The others get made into sauces so make significantly more volume when mixed with water. Must admit, I’m partial to the Mayflower, but my go-to curry sauce is the Bachelors fruity curry mix with pieces of apple. It’s quite speedy but gets used in a lot of chippies, certainly one or two near me use it. Lathered over chips it’s hard to beat, in my opinion of course!

I’m in Canada, here I (and most people I know) use Japanese curry blocks. I’ve never seen a Chinese curry here. The Chinese take away food is actually very different to what’s available in the UK. There are 2 main Japanese curry brands - ‘S&B’ and ‘Glico Curry’. I prefer S&B myself, but even though I buy hot & spicy, I still find both brands extremely mild. I managed to buy some McDonnell’s from a British store recently, so looking forward to trying it. We are going to the UK in May, and Mayflower will be on my list to try.

The McDonnells I find is more suited to "chip shop' type stuff eg curry chips or as a dip for onion rings etc its yummy 😋.

Good review as always. I find Mayflower hard to beat, though it lumps easily, so I usually mash the dry powder with a fork before adding it to water. Goldfish is an honourable runner up in my book, the first tub I bought tasted a bit 'ordinary' for want of a better word, until I added a 1/3 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the mix near the end of stirring, which gave it a bit of kick.

The Goldfish looks similar in raw consistency to another brand called "Maysan" which is a popular buy in Chinese supermarkets-it's quite cheap too.

I then turn it off and let it stand until cool. The longer it stands the better. I eat it as it is as I'm a vegan but I add meat for the missus. We then freeze any that's left.

I like Heinz curry sauce in the bottle. I have not tried any of the powder mixes. But it's good to know to avoid the Bisto pots.

The 28p jars from ASDA & Morrisons are quite good if you add some chilli powder to give it a zing.

I just started trying curries and found McDonnell's in the International section at my grocery store, so it's funny that I found this video while looking for comparisons and it's only a couple of weeks old. I'll have to try Mayflower and skip Bisto (which is what Amazon has been recommending since it saw I was looking at McDonnell's in larger quantities) since it seemed to cause deep emotional curry pain.

Hi Gareth the goldfish Chinese curry sauce is good but I have tried the thia curry sauce it was awful when I was young used to put sharwoods curry powder in everything

Patak's is my go-to when the mom behind the register/till in an Indian grocery recommends it that is enough for me. Sun Brand for curry powder.

Fabulous. Very interesting. Only mayflower I have had and I really rate it. To be honest,if you like something it’s the one but if you like trying new and your on a quest to find better,this is an excellent video for you to watch as a starting point and have inspiration 👌🙌👌🔥👏🏻

McDonnells is my husband’s favourite, actually mine too. It’s expensive though. Roughly £4 to £5 wow 😮. It’s addictive 😋

Funnily enough I am having King Prawn curry and chips made with the Mayflower sauce mix. I add peas and onions like the takeaway. Yum!

mayflower is my favourite great value for money. When I get Chinese takeaway instead of shelling out £1.60 to £2.50 for curry sauce I just make my own with Mayflower . Another great video Gareth.

Just popped into Loon Fung in Alperton and bought a Madras curry sauce made by Goldfish , i’ll keep you posted.

Great review again. I have tried the Goldfish brand and it it is very good but needs but of salt pepper and sugar adding to boost it. Also there is a bit too much star anise flavour that lingers on taste buds for too long. Now i will try Mayflower brand and not bother with the other 2
