Sulphur Dioxide is used as a preservative. It is especially used for things like dried apricot and other fruit. It helps them keep their color as well. Unsulpherated dried apricots are black. Dried fermented grape must is a semi fermented wine. Lambrusco wine is partially fermented grape must.

Cracked me up when I saw you doing this pie. About three pie videos ago I mentioned this pie and put a link to it. As I put a link I think the comment got removed. Basically, I was saying as far as supermarket pies go, this is as good as it gets, especially for the price. I think it is a good pie, but nothing special and a 7 is what I would also give it. However, if you can't get a proper pie from a butchers i.e. don't live in Lancashire, this is about as good as you're going to get.

I think that pie is not bad at all for the price. Sure, the pies you've been getting lately from butcher's shops are better, but they are also more expensive. As I am not a fan of kidney, i checked the Aldi website and an almost identical steak pie minus the kidney is available for the same price, £1.49. It does however contain a lot more beef, namely 40% versus 26%. *Edit:* I've just eaten the steak only pie (£1.49) and while the meat was tasty, the pastry was absolutely awful. I discovered a new butcher's shop just outside of my town the other day and it was selling beef and onion pies made on the premises. Totally delicious. The sausage roll, too.

I do sometimes crave a ready made pie and the ones you had from a local farm shop in a video recently were fabulous, but this thing! What actually is it? Driven by the need to churn out stuff that people can allegedly afford, all supermarkets attempt to palm these inedible chunks of dough (and er..... is that meat inside? ) on us! It looks horrendous! Still you seem to have enjoyed it Gareth, so it must have something going for it. I'll pass though, thanks. I don't have a lovely farm shop with delicious pies nearby but I can order lovely farm shop ones on line, but they cost around £24 for six pies. But I'm waiting till I can afford those. I guess it's better to eat good pies, little not often, than swallow this nasty looking thing!

Some liver is a bit too sweet so blending bland beef with a bit of rich kidney, heart, liver, makes an actually tasty actually better value meal.

After watching your reviews on those delicious looking 'proper' pies, this falls way short. OK it's £1.49 as opposed to £2-odd, but look at the difference in size, and filling! If you were just buying for one, one of those proper pies could be cut in two with one half banged in the freezer for another day and therefore you get two decent meals out of one delicious pie. And whilst it would work out slightly cheaper, there's obviously no concoctions of 'chemicals' keeping it from going off!

You can’t beat proper made pies from a butcher or farm shop. I found a fantastic pie maker recently so I’m just going to buy the quality pies I find are very good and also very reasonable at £2.50 per pie ,which are all homemade.

Just makes you want to go back to the local pie shop again. That is an average pie from a supermarket again. Why can't they fill them up like the local pie makers do. We would not mind paying an extra pound for the pie to be full. Good review bud. All the best.

That looks like an absolute bargain for £1.50 and those ingredients are just preservatives in tiny harmless amounts. £1.50 bear in mind, less than a coffee.
@PotatoPirate123
@PotatoPirate123 Жыл бұрын
Yeah people need to get over themselves. These pies are made to a budget and the preservatives are also an essential part of keeping that price down - the longer something is shelf stable the cheaper they can make it, as they can produce more of them.
