No idea how the Cornish (contentious?) Pasty is being considered a snack but not complaining either

Coming in at a whopping 1,331 calories and 28.4 grams of saturated fat it’s gotta be tough to beat

  3. That’s absolutely dire. They’ve poured as much sugar, salt, fat, and non-food additives possible into 3 pots and added flavourings to make them seem like real food. One of them as part of a meal deal is a guilty pleasure, but all 3 together are a war crime.

  6. It’ll put you on your way to an early grave but that’s a good bargain

  11. You would have been better off with a big bag of those extra vinegary crisps everyone is always raving about.

  16. I imagine if you ate that for lunch you’d be hungry again within 30min

  17. They probably downgraded the pasty to snack because Ginsters is dogshit and nobody was buying it as a main.

  18. I haven’t had a rustlers in like 7 or 8 years.

    This is kind of tempting ngl.

  20. Thats insane you can get all of that. Which is the snack here

  21. I love that co-op offer a Cornish pasty as a side, it’s a bit smaller than the standard one but still basically another main.

  22. Don’t forget you’ve got to go down the high street to sort out your life insurance, Del.

  23. I’d prefer a bottle of piss over that can of shit. On the other hand, I’m smashing the filthy food.

  24. As a Cornish maid, I still have no idea how Ginsters can get away will selling those things as Cornish pasties. It’s the culinary equivalent of putting your dining table through a wood chipper and still presenting the pile of sawdust as a table.

  28. More to the point, is a rustlers burger the only item you can get in a meal deal which you can’t just eat straight away?

  29. Meal deal, sure…. But I’ve met people who would take a 4pack of Stella, 10 pack of Marlborough and a sharing bag of onion rings for lunch.

  31. Gut biodiversity rant…

    The issue with these isn’t really the taste or the lack of nutrition, it’s the active damage they can do to your gut biome due the sheer number of preservatives and emulsifiers in them.

    Essentially your gut is a full ecosystem, primarily of bacteria, which creates your energy.
    Preservatives (in particular) are compounds designed to denature/“kill” bacteria, to keep the long-life food from going mouldy in its packet.

    Multiple studies have shown how eating lots of these reduce the biodiversity of the bacteria in your gut (due to these components) making you less able to metabolise food/less good at creating energy.

    This is a big issue of eating “unhealthy” food people always forget about.

  32. That Co-Op meal deal is a banger isn’t it! A Ginsters Cornish Pasty as a snack beats all other deals in my book. I like the addition of the Rustler, that’s a classy touch!

  33. I can feel the lard on the roof of my mouth just looking at that pasty.

  35. I’ve never had one of these Rustlers burger things

    I from a Brit but live overseas and just come back to visit family

    It’s just a microwave burger? I’m not loving it, not gonna lie

    How are they?

  39. Cornish pasty being counted as a “snack” is a fucking gamechanger for my view of co-op.

  41. When I worked the twilight shift at Tesco’s I had a colleague that would put the ginsters pasty in a bowl, douse it in vinegar and microwave it. Then eat it from the bowl of hot vinegar pasty water.
