ASDA JUST ESSENTIALS Vs MAYFLOWER CURRY 'N' CHIPS Comparison 

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 😃😃

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

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. 😋

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

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 👍🏻

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.

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 🤝🏼

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.

I've often wondered what these are like...kids go to their dad's every weekend and I do hate having to put oven on ....airfryer hob etc when it's just me. This would be perfect ...esp with rice or homemade egg fried rice ...becomes a fast easy tea.

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.

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 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁

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

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 🤔😂

Cheaper to buy some frozen chips and the mayflower curry sauce you make up from a powder and is banging as you've said 👍

The mayflower powder curry sauce is brilliant. Just add water tastes the exact same as a takeaway

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.

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.

Had the Asda curry and chips the other day as an accompaniment to their chicken curry with rice. Not bad at all. Quite enjoyed them.

When I lived in Yorkshire loved chip shop curry as it had raisins in it 👍.

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

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.

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.

Mayflower is the best curry sauce you can buy, it's exactly the same as my local restaurant, can't beat it.

Every time I come back to the UK, Beef Pie, Chips and Gravy with Curry Sauce at the first chippy. Maybe a fritter.

Fry onion add chicken stock stir in mayflower sauce powder.Dont use oxo but good stock from carcass or boil two drums for 400fls spectacular

Hi I like the asda essential chips and curry in fridge overnight 4 minits in the microwave fantastic

I used to buy the Asda one years ago, it is very nice. They also used to do chips in gravy, and cheese omlettes, I loved the omlettes, there was 2 in a box, microwave them, they were light and delicious, I wish they still did them now.

Another great review Gareth love. May flower curry sauce. I make that a lot cheers Haaretz xxx👍👍👍👍👍

Gareth you make me laugh, don't change anything in the way you do your videos. Within a few minutes you forgot the price, turning 50 is the problem age is creeping up with you. 😄👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We use mayflower curry sauce at work all farmhouse inns use the same curry sauce it is stunning

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

Yep ! Mayflower every time 💯always have the curry powder sauce mix at home 😋

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 .

I buy the curry sauce by mayflower it's really nice because you can add what you want into it, also make as little or as much as you want!

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

The fun bit is you make us laugh, the serious bit is your taking the hit so we don’t have to 👍👍

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

I love chips and curry sauce from the Chinese or the chippy, these look a lot like my plate once I’ve got the chips out and poured the sauce on. I’ll grab some and give it a try.

Just need to pop out to Farm foods for curry and chips! My mouth is watering 😋

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 👍

I wish the manufacturers would keep the curry sauce separate from the chips. I would much rather heat the chips in the air fryer and the curry sauce in the microwave. I just don't like the chips and sauce all mixed together. I was in Farmfoods this morning and saw these in the Mayflower cabinet, but I didn't buy them.

Loved this dont edit the bits you forget or get wrong just real life videos brilliant

Did a Tesco shop today. Been binging your channel for the past week, so I bought the cheapest alternative to everything I usually get. Cant believe how much I saved . Let's see how it goes! Thanks your channel is helpful, not just entertaining 👊👊👊

I've had the Asda ones, done in the oven. They're nice and have a korma flavoured sauce.

Love mayflower and i add chinese five spice to it,a wee sprinkle of five spice on the bugget ones will enhance the flavour no end.

Another great video Gareth , it appears a lot of the Asda essential range is not bad quality at all . Regards mark

I've had both of them and like them both ... what I usually do is cook a few extra chips in the airfryer and add them to it .

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.

Great video mate...love curry sauce and chips with salad cream all over them.yum yum..🤣🤣

You made me and the missus hungry gazzer.. So we chipped some nice potatoes.. Fried up a packet of butchers choice sausages.. Then made up some lovely mayflower curry on the hob.. Tipped all over the chips.. Bit of salt and vinegar.. Bang bloody lovely.

You could always make yourself a fav sarny and use up the sauce as a dip to enhance and fill your tum.

I have never eaten chips and curry sauce but would like to try it now. The Mayflower one looked good. Not sure why but crinkle cut chips always taste better🤣

Made me giggle when you forgot the price I do this a lot and love your videos I love the comparisons ❤

Great review,i buy McCain micro chips and Asda chip shop curry sauce granules if Iam feeling decadent!The McCains are expensive but it stops me from going mental..and its got to be crinkle.

Iceland used to do curry and chips… they really were delicious. Then they stopped selling them 😢 great review x🥰

Just essentials one is my favourite

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.

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.

You can get nice big packets of mayflower curry sauce powder, only takes 5 mins to make mix with water on the hob.

I’ll take the mayflower anytime Gareth, had the asda one before, too much coconut for me, but both of them could definitely do with more chips in them

Thank you as always, this is a great public service in these times I am old fashion I love salt and vinegar on mine

Good video gareth. At a time when we are all looking for value for money mayflower never let's you down. Their curry sauce is very close to takeaway quality imo.

Both go beautifully on homemade chips and rice.

mmmmmm, curry sauce and chips, that brings back memories, i would pay Asda a visit but it is such a soul destroying place, i will have to get one of my minions to go in my place

Gareth in farmfoods is the meal in the freezer

You been in my freezer,got both of them,great for a quick tea.

I buy the Mayflower tub of curry powder , you just mix it with water it tastes exactualy the same as Chinese curry sauce , it lasts for ages makes lots of portions.

Asda one if you had sauce left add in some rice and veg or if on a day after doing chicken any chicken bits as well to give a single portion tasty lunch. I have no idea what is in Chinese Curry I am allergic to even tiny bit if 😂 cross contamination and that is Epipens out and off to hospital. I eat the hottest Chilli/Mexican or Indian food no issues at all.... Chinese Curry smells so good as well.

Thanks for putting me on to the farmfood 8 pack fishcakes exacjly the same as the chippy fishcakes and they charge nearly as much for one as it costs for a pack of 8 luv em

I had royal game and mash potatoes garden peas yummy in my tummy.

I was getting my hopes up that one of them wouldn’t have wheat in them. I crave chip shop curry so much.

Ooooh, nearly 50k subscribers. I'll be celebrating for you with a good stout (stoot)

Top review, Gareth. Thank you. They just get better and better, and they weren't bad to start with ! I'm not a Curry Man I'm afraid, but they both looked nice I have to say. Don't think you would be disappointed with either. Cheers !

The mayflower sauce mix used to be available to buy in b and m.. Its well nice

Yes the Mayflower Curry Sauce is very good. 👍👍👍👍👍

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 😅

gorgeous these with sausage or a meat pie mmmmm, especially the Mayflower Curry sauce !

I never cook a ready meal in it's plastic i take it out put it on a plate, I then put a cover over it that's got holes in it does it perfect. If you do it in the plastic you could get chemicals coming of the plastic

If it wasn't so expensive, I would love to visit the UK and have a curry. They say that it's SO expensive to visit London though

The crinkled chip probably hold more sauce than straight ones. They say that about pasta too, the more sauce it holds the better. However, you can always stick the Asda chips on a butty and with all the leftover sauce - dip yer bread! 😁😋

The only Mayflower products I have tried was the fried rice and the chinese chicken and mushroom from Farmfoods, everyone likes them in my house.

Mayflower hot curry sauce only £1 in Iceland for the tub, use it for chips 🍟 or chicken 🐔 curry XOXO 🍛 😋

Just the job Gareth, for if you don't fancy a big dinner, I love curry and chips x thank you 💞

Leftover curry sauce? A slice of bread and butter is your friend. I buy the Mayflower extra hot curry sauce mix from my local Heron Foods and cook the chips in the deep fryer.

I get the chip and curry wow 👌 spot on mate lovely

You made me fancy making some mayflower curry sauce! No chips in stock though unfortunately lol so just had buttered bread with it a love it haha

I do love Mayflower curry sauce 😋😋

Our butcher gets that mayflower sauce in and its the closest thing to a take away I've had. Cheers Gareth !!

I have had the farm foods ones for there price i like them .Bisto do a curry sauce now i have tried it but thought it was nothing special they also do an american style hot and spicy that i did like and many others than just gravy .

Love some curry chips. Think I’ll get some from chippy, tomorrow. I’m so hungry right now. Gonna do a burger or something.

Great videos Gareth, thank you very much.

Another fab review Gareth. You are so right, you can't beat a Mayflower curry sauce as a quick make at home one 🙂

Hi, just thought I'd chip in with some information. You can Mayflower Curry sauce 😋

Try that mayflower curry sauce they do in the range it's soo good

If you do a price comparison, you have to do it on a like for like basis. ASDA product costs 0.225p per gram and Mayflower costs 0.36p per gram. Mayflower costs 60% more than ASDA.

I love the seal peel Test Gareth

I'm partial to curry and chips, thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜

Great review again Gareth. For 30p your better off with the better one. And yes as l have been saying prices are just going up.

I'd whack the contents of both those on a few buttered muffins after being drowned in salt and vinegar. God bless this kind of food

I love mayflower curry, l buy the box , it’s only £ 1.19. 😋 Great review Gareth.👍
