BANGING! GUNPOWDER POTATOES Review M&S Food

[@DameTremonti]

At that price for Gunpowder potatoes, i couldn't give two Fawkes. 🙂

[@ED-209UHD]

@@DameTremonti Good one 😂

Your loss lol Do you never get an Indian takeaway or eat at an Indian restaurant FFS?

[@bifflee3603]

Ive got some gunpowder seasoning in a sachet from Aldi - save yourself a small fortune 👍🏼

[@juliejr]

It's worth a try 👍

[@ianhawdon3680]

Is it any good ?

[@bevboyle7837]

Great videos as always. Happy New Year to you and your family. Thank you for the reviews and laughter 😁

Happy new year!

[@kyleB061]

Everything from M&s is nice, it's the top dog.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yes

[@PotatoPirate123]

Not *everything* in my experience. I have had some pretty duff ready meals

[@kyleB061]

@@PotatoPirate123 Like what, i've never had a bad ready meal. All the pastas are nice.

[@PotatoPirate123]

@ I like that Tuscan pasta and the macaroni cheese. I agree that some are really nice but I wouldn’t go as far as to say that everything is nice. Remember it’s just a third party making it and they do mess a few up. I got a Japanese box a while back where everything was awful - especially the bang bang chicken, which was just tiny scraps of chicken in a syrup. I think a lot of their normal curries are very mediocre and often pretty bland. I also tried a couple of their marinades over the summer and one in particular was nothing like what it was supposed to be and was pretty much inedible in its intended form. I used it up in a big chilli. I can’t remember all of the bad ones but I would say at the very least many of their dishes are no better than the finest ones at Aldi and they don’t always hit the mark

[@christinemaher5591]

Happy new year and thanks for all your reviews, so honest and truthful godbless 💙💙

[@simonagree4070]

I do like some potatoes with my curry, and I have made this myself, as a minced filling for croissants -- the buttery croissant dough goes well with the spicy potatoes. A heavenly combination.

[@kerryyoung980]

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and a happy new year 🥳, merry Christmas everyone 😊

Happy new year Kerry

[@Hammer117]

Oh wow they look great. The usual nutrition information gets a double thumbs up . They're totally versatile too you can have them as a side for so many things - doesn't have to be Indian.. Gonna be keeping an eye out for these in my M&S as they look like they're worth the price. HAPPY NEW YEAR, Gary.

These are just the traditional Bombay potatoes but the name "Gunpowder" potatoes has been coined by the Indian restaurant Dishoom. The name is also somewhat popular amongst those in India who don't like the british name of bombay. I even saw "Gunpowder potatoes" on the menu in a restaurant in Mumbai back in April.

[@robertcreighton4635]

Amazing good info 👌

[@grahamparsons3406]

A South Indian spice mix 'Molaga Podi', 'Milagai Podi' or 'Gunpowder Masala', a combination of chilli, chaat masala and other spices.

[@Finglesham]

Bizarre. The Portuguese gave it the name Bombay. 'Bom' is Portuguese for good. The British just carried on using the name.

[@GEODUCK9]

Contrary to popular belief, Potato naming does not revolve around London restaurants

[@MultiLisaParker]

Oh will definitely have to get myself some of these. Nice one Gareth. Happy new year to you all 👍❤️

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Happy New year Lisa 🎉 ✨️

[@malcbury9739]

They look really good, and (I paused your video so I could read the ingredients) the nice thing is that everything is 'natural' (ok might be a concentrate of, or dried) but no 'sulphites' or the like. And because of that, I don't mind paying a bit more for something like this. Unlike paying an extortionate amount just because it's got some 'over important' chefs name on it! lol So I'm deffo gonna try these, so thanks for the review! All the very best wishes to your family for the New Year. Hope it's a good one for you all.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thank you, all the best pal

Happy New Year! Yea, pretty good on the ingredientside... you enjoyed them. M&S never seem to dissapoint, but at a price. I reccon you COULD make them if you had a good recipe and all the spices required. But, yes, easy fix. Get these down with a nice prawn madras and rice :)

Happy new year!

[@GerryLewis-qb4pv]

Basically very similar to Bombay Potatoes. I'm sure I've seen Gunpowder seasoning in store 🤔🤔. It is an M+S item, so the quality is going to be good. When my neighbour visits for an Indian, I push the boat out a bit. Apart from my homemade curry I also have Bombay potatoes, Saag Aloo, Gobi Aloo, Onion Bhajis, a decent Naan bread , a selection of chutneys and obviously Basmati rice. He's a real curry head. He even has curry for Christmas Dinner. 😏😏. So I might have to get some Gunpowder potatoes for him to try. The price was maybe a bit high for a small portion of spuds and spices. But as one off taster? Not exactly bank breaking. I'd certainly give a try, but I do love my Bombay potatoes, so for me to change up? They really need to stand out. Another great review 👍👍. A Happy New Year to you and your family and all the Baldie Food lovers out there. 🎆🎆2025🎆🎆.

[@leanneclare3750]

The M and S always have that rustic looking sleeve when the price is a bit higher 😂. We use Waitrose ( approximately once amonth ) because Ocado doesn’t deliver to our area. It’s too remote 🤷‍♀️. I mean we’re not falling off the edge of the planet. 🙄. Anyway, I think Marks is better than Waitrose for variety. It did smell good Gareth. 😂 As I’m not working tomorrow, I’m doing lamb and lentil curry…..goooooorgeeeooous. Have a fab New Year’s Eve.

great video as always gareth, happy new year to you aswell, not sure if you seen it but wherever you got these from in M&S there should have been a beef vindaloo nearby in similar packaging which i had this week from my local M&S, which was also mouthwatering delicious, next time your in you might want to give it a shot, from my experience it wont disappoint, one of the best beef currys ive had.

They look terrific Gareth and I can imagine taste great judging by the amount of "hmms" you gave. M&S are hands down the leaders for Indian ready made dishes and sides. They must have some brilliant Indian chefs in their development kitchens. So authentic. Great review 👍👍

Yes i couldn't remember booths good shop mate.

I make my own to go with curries and rice. A couple of cooked potatoes with an onion and chopped tomatoes and spices. Those look nice but a lot of £s for the portion size.

looked great and you said tastes great but..this is something I would never buy ,rather do it myself,Like you Gareth I love Indian and have over the years become pretty good with spices ,a little bit of that, a dab of that, a smidge of that ...of course it is all down to personal taste..have a great new year and hope to be seeing you in 2025

You've just prompted me to roast some potatoes good lad Gareth ✌️

[@Finglesham]

Price is astronomical. In Home Bargains I can buy 7.5 Kg of potatoes for £3.99. Spices are not expensive. However, I am sure that the M&S taste very good. Happy New Year to you and yours.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Good point!

[@PaoloBanke]

I have a pretty small appetite now and this is not a two potion. That said MS do do such things very well, always good ingredients and tidy looking. ALDI do not have them listed :( but easy to make although MS would probably still have the edge. Have a good New Year one and all :).

Jazzed up bombay potatoes by the looks! but I am a huge fan of those as a side dish when I get a curry. Tbf though, from an indian restaurant or takeaway 'bp's' are usually around the £3.50-4 mark, so the price isn't that surprising. Happy New Year Gaz and all the best to you and family for 2025 - may the channel go from strength to strength too. 😉

This is M7S food! Expect to pay twice or three times the going rate. 250gms of potatoes with spices. A Kg of potatoes costs a £1, my those spices and packaging costs a fortune. Will I buy them? Not in a month of Sundays!

[@PotatoPirate123]

It’s funny you say that though as there were TikTok videos going around all last year talking about how M&S is just as cheap if not cheaper than Aldi etc, with people commenting that they’ve saved money by shopping there. I don’t think it’s a sign that M&S is actually cheaper though - more a sign than a lot of users on TikTok are off their t*ts

Thanks pal 👍

[@MICHAELBURKE-u1d]

They are superb worth every penny.

[@martinjb55]

As someone said theynateca side dish but if you got the whole meal from M&S it would be expensive. On the other hand the prices of side dishes from the takeaway is getting ridiculous. As you say Gareth you pay for quality and as a treat why not. Happy New Year to you and yours. 2025 here we come.👍.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Happy New year Martin

[@PotatoPirate123]

I appreciate M&S quality is usually pretty good, that’s pretty dear for a tiny portion of potatoes as a side dish. You can get those really nice curries (minus rice) at Aldi for that. If you can afford it though, why not.

[@gamingtonight1526]

We've forgotten that between Xmas and New Year we used to say "season's greetings"! You didn't say happy new year until Jan1st and beyond! :)

Happy New Year to you and your family gaz from Sunny 🌞 Hull. As for the potatoes, I'm afraid that I would get a chronic case of gandhi's revenge 😢. Not nice. 😢

[@Mitchellius]

I'd have put them on a air fryer liner and crisped them up a bit

[@nigel8499]

I'd really appreciate more M&S reviews if possible Gareth. I do my mum's shop via Ocado and any ideas greatly appreciated. Microwave if possible for the ease for her carers.

[@OnlyADownstat]

am sure M&S used to sell "gunpowder chilli paste" - not sure if they still do
