The suit jacket deserves a like in it's own right, very smart. I love it when you like the food you're reviewing. Keep up the good worth Gareth. 👍👍

Job to go wrong with good old shepherds or cottage pie and that looks a nice one , cottage pie is my go to meal and the freezer is always well stocked with both, I’m 86 and can’t always get out so they are a godsend with a bit of broccoli peas and carrots on the side and lashing of thick beef gravy.

That looks proper good. Filled my freezer with £20 worth of meat from our local butcher yesterday. Chicken, Pork, Sausages, bacon, burgers, minced beef - a staggering amount of scran for the money (should see me through for a few weeks as the missus is a veggie!) Looks like I may be opting for the homemade 'Cottage Pie' option, unless I pay them another visit.... Or go to Aldi 😊

The clocks are going back and that shepherd's pie & peas are the EXACT thing I fancy for my tea tonight🐑🐑🐑👍👍👍

The days of cheap meals in ALDI and Lidl are mostly history

I was in costa last week. I was a bit peckish so was looking at their sandwhiches, it was £3.50 for a prepacked bacon and egg . Just watching your video the sheperds pie looks inviting, filling and tasty, id rather have the pie which was a penny less than a cold bacon and egg sarnie everyday.

The excess plastic comes off after it's been in the oven, it doesnt melt 😉 looks good xx

Just what I’m making for dinner tonight. Home made of course. It’s nice to know a ready meal is worth buying.

Get yourself an Aldi Aberdeen Angus pie @£5.50 . The beef steak filling is absolutely incredible. Pie serves 2 and comes in a black box . You won't be disappointed.

Hi Gareth from Spain where is is partly sunny and mostly cloudy. 17°. It doesn't look bad at all, although that's a lot of gravy for the amount of meat - I prefer mine to be a little drier so that is how I make them. It is still a left over meal as far as I am concerned - it's what you make with the left over meat from a Sunday roast

Looks good but £3.49 for one portion and from Aldi is pricey.£2.99 for me

0:01 The Poppy....I wear mine with PRIDE too.... Thank-you to all the Serving (past and future) and those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for me to be a free person to this day. Thank you Gareth.

Not only did the meal look pretty decent, Gareth looked smart today also 👍 Great vlog mate, nothing wrong with that food whatsoever, even I'd eat it 😂 Have a great weekend Cheers,🍻

Good on you for supporting the boys.

Hmmm, scrumptious. Perfect plate of food for the time of year. Not a bad price for 4.00grms either. Must say I like your threads. Makes you look right dapper. 👍

Nice one Gaz - i'll be trying that. If only the lamb content was as high as the wool content in your jacket 😃

Looking very smart today Gareth!

Trying to find a local butcher is somewhat of a challenge these days. We haven't got one in our town

That is real hearty comfort food.

You seem to find a lot of new products where you shop. I rarely find new products, just the long-time favorites that haven't changed in years (except the portion sizes keep getting smaller). It keeps your videos interesting.

Just made a cottage pie for the same price, serves 4......pretty darnn good if I do say so myself! x

Looks good nice put some cheese on top of the shepherds pie makes it very tasty 🍜🍜

Looks like a nice munchie! l wish we had Tesco & lceland in Canada so l could try these 'exotic' to me frozen foods.

Your hard work is very much appreciated Gareth, thanks for another honest review 💜💜💜

Love a good shepherds or cottage pie Gareth,looking very dapper in the dress jacket by the way,I especially like your poppy lapel badge,very smart, that looks so tasty and not a bad price if you can't be bothered making one from scratch,another good review big pal

Gotta have peas with shepherds pie....."GIVE PEAS A CHANCE!"....was the best slogan on the bridge over the M25! 👍.....I see you remembering that slogan with your poppy! It went a couple of years back...someone painted over it with "THANKYOU NHS"....a year later..someone else painted over that with... "HELTA SKELTA".....

Sounds lush, Gaz👍. It'd be with sprouts and brown sauce, for me🤤

I don't think you need to worry about the film melting. It never does in a domestic oven. I don't think they get hot enough.

That look good Graham, True you can't beat home made I love cottage pie use a good mince beef with creamy mash on top. Once before I was making a spag bol cooked the mince and the ragu sauce and realise we had no pasta or spagetti, I poured the mince in to glass dish and topped it with mash, That was nice a spag bol pie. A tip for the mash on top after spreading the mash crush a bag of ready salted crisps and sprinkle it over the mash and brown it off under the grill.Great review , Take care😋👍

Why do stores change a traditional recipe thinking they know how to make it better when in fact they usually end up ruining it , I'm surprised there wasn't cheese on top of it

Looks really nice and very similar to the Marks and Spencer version. And a penny cheaper as well! I know where my money is going now lol

Love shepherds pie, don’t buy it pre made though, just make it yourself. It’ll always be better than supermarket bought.

Can’t beat them microwave bisto cottage pies. About £1.50. Never normally eat microwave meals but these are very nice.

Shepards pie is 1 of my favourite winter dishes. 😉 Always home cooked though. Mmmmmmm. 👍

Thank you for the video,looking smart today Gareth. ,Loving the reviews Gareth xx

It looks good but not for me I don't like the smell of lamb not touched it for over 30 years. I make my own cottage pies I normally make about 6 and freeze them and they always have loads of meat in them and I drain all the fat off I often find that bought ones give me terrible heartburn with all the hidden fat in them so homemade only for me.

I've had that and it was very good, i now buy the larger pack of 'specially selected' cottage pie ( it's doesn't cost much more ) and get two meals out of it.

Love the content mate. Don't worry about the plastic mate, the melting temperature for the plastic is 300 c , so unless you are using a furnace it won't melt lol.

14% lamb it's almost meat free . I think I'd making my own I'd enjoy it more

This one looks good - i would also do peas and maybe sprouts. The amount of gravy looks reasonable but i am like you I use the water from veg to make the gravy

That shepherd's pie looks spot on Gareth 😋 its just made me feel very hungry, can I ask you where you got your poppy from it looks really nice we are looking to purchase 1 each but I haven't come across a poppy like the 1 your wearing thanks in advance.

My favourite i like to cook is, 500gms beef mince cooked brown and drain fat off, add chopped onion and an oxo cube and cook stirring on gentle heat till onion is cooked. I then add shredded carrot, a half tin of peas, chopped baked fresh honey roast parsnips, chopped small fried red pepper and a tin of Branston baked beans. Add 600ml beef stock gravy and gently bring to boil and simmer. I then add salt to season and taste as it cooks. Add creamy mash over top in the dish with a nice coating of extra mature cheese and cook for 25min fan oven 180 middle shelf. I would also use the same ingredients without the topping etc for another meal but add chunks of sweet potato to it and serve up in a homemade batter pud cooked in an 8-inch deep round tin which I'm very good at.

Looking smart Gaz. I love a shepherds pie. I would make it myself though. If I was coming in from the pub or a ghastly day at work this would be the ticket mind you. Thanks for the video as always!

You look very smart today have to say. Since watching your videos I have to say you’ve grown in confidence, always love your videos even the ones where you don’t like the food as much. Me and my partner always smile at your videos

It looks good but you can’t beat a proper home made shepherds pie

Shepherd's pie spot on 👍🇬🇧

I genuinely have to say, your food reviews are very original and authentic compared to the majority of other KZfaqrs doing similar reviews. Highly useful, too, for future shopping lists and trying new foods. Big thanks and love the channel!!

just had the new ploughman quiche in aldi. was spot on

I'll keep saying it, please try the Aldi piri piri king kebab mate. Great review as always Gaz 👍

For a ready meal that looked Bloody Lovely and at £3.50 it's not so bad. Jack's, (a Tesco brand available in some local stores too) have got the usual Spag Bol, Shepherds Pie, Cottage Pie etc., on offer in my local private shop at any 2 meals for £6 but your Aldi looks far superior. I'll have to make a trip to Aldi soon I think.

This is my type of food that looked really tasty another great review pal.😁👍.

Looks very nice but I make my own, handy to know they get your approval though. It's the long cooking time that puts me off as I can make a big pan of it in the same time and freeze some. Thank you buddy 😀👍

My homemade ones are 80% lamb and there's never any left, my kids love it!!

Looks good for a winter warmer, stay well.

That did look very tasty Gaz ,and I must say,your looking very Dapper in your sports jacket ! 👍

Looks lovely….. £3.49 is a good price. 👍. Get what you pay for… Will let you know. Will try it….👍…

Great little containers. My wife always saves them

Looks so nice added to my shopping list next week when we go Aldi xxxxx

Haven't tried aldis but morrisons is one pound seventy cheaper and very nice .tesco also do a much cheaper one but a little bit dry.

£3.49? Not really a bad price for a meal in todays market. It could have done with some more veg content though. Still, a bit of broccoli, cauliflower and peas and you have a decent meal. The deciding factor is that it should taste good, which apparently it does. Another great review 👍🏻. You have really kept up your roll with this one. Hope you can keep it up mate 🤞. Glad to see the poppy being worn. Sadly they are getting fewer each year and it’s hard to find poppy sellers in the usual places.❤️.

I went to Aldi after the beef and onion pie review and bagged two pies and bonuses. They had chicken and mushroom for the same price, so I bagged them aswell ❤

Do they not do a larger one that serves two? Like their cottage pie? I would always get that as it's only like £1.30 odd more.. In any case will definitely be picking this up tomorrow, if they have it..

Gravy and spud with a bit of meat, three and a half quid seems a bit steep.

I've been using the water from my veg to make gravy for years! Not only does it save energy, but you get the goodness from the veg, which usually goes down the drain. I don't add salt to my veg, because the extra salt will end up in your gravy! EDIT: I bought the Aldi Chip Shop Pies, Chicken and Mushroom. They're in my freezer. For 50p more, you could've got a four gang 13 amp trailer socket from the middle aisle! 🤣

Looks really good. I think £3.49 is up there, but is still cheaper than some charge for a sandwich, and this will be way more filling.

That looks spot on mate. Pea's lives matter 🥳

Not to bad for a lazy meal £3.49 value for one considering its lamb.

Pity about the salt content because that does look very tasty, Nice comfort food and we all need that once in while. Price wise well it would cost a fair bit to make it at home. Looking very dapper there young man.

That looks nice. Its part of their Gastro range and I have had the frozen pies before (you may have even reviwed them in the past) and they were nice as well. Might have to try this one out as well. Theres a chicken and bacon one as well by the looks of it. Good review as always G.

Aldi food is just as good if not better than other food outlets, good value. Have a nice weekend 😊

Hi Gareth, I prefer to make my own cottage pie, I can put my own amount of carrots, onions and potatoes in and on mine as I see fit , I like to make cheesy mash and pipe it on and stick it in the oven to get a nice crispy top, that can feed three people and cost less than a fiver. But for somebody living on their own I suppose Aldi’s offering is good value. Thanks for a other great video.regards Jimf

Good to see the Poppy mate and also good to see the bacon grill demo recently. I hear Westlers Sausages in Lard are the same as Compo Sausages - have you ever done a review or found them? From a fellow Veteran.

When I visited from Australia I was so impressed with the quality of your frozen meals. There are of course the cheapies but there are also a good range of ones that approach home cooking and you just chuck em in the oven. So good. We don't come close at home.

Canny Craddick used to dress very smartly for her cooking programmes too. Very smart, well done. Pie was ok too, but 14% is low. Need to peel another shepherd.

It looks good. You've said it tastes good. A bit expensive for only 56g of lamb though.

Good on you Gareth,wearing your poppy with pride,like I do 👍the shepherds pie looks good to me,nom nom 👍

Shepherds Pie soup ☺️ I would tend to eat it out of the container - on my own.

Looking smart today gareth in the javket and poppy. Love a good shepherds pie, didnt see any escapees today

Morning Gareth! As an ex-forces man, it is a fine thing to be seen wearing the commemorative badge so 'early' - well done you, sir! 14% lamb? So one of New Zealand's finest critters will make a squillion pies (rough estimate?) Gravy looks to be the saviour here, but how much water went into the pie in order to produce the yumminess (tech. term Gareth) that people will pay almost £8.75 per kg. for? Surely most of the cost is going to befall the delivery and handling charges? VBW x

My local butchers is Edwards of Conwy, butchers and assistants are all lovely. Their produce is expensive but tip top quality.

Nice amount of gravy 👌

What’s the difference between shepherds pie and cottage pie. Maybe do a comparison video

Looks lovely Gareth thank you for ur great review

Season your peas they taste much better. butter,salt, black pepper, in moderation of course.

Just eating one of these while watching your review. I got mine with a 30% reduced sticker 😁 I agree it was very tasty, I'd give it 9.5 out of ten...👍 Will definitely buy again.

I'm glad you were not peas-ed off with the shepherds pie!

Loving your work, very down to earth and humble.

Nice presentation baldy blumenthal. Would look better with micro herbs. 😂

Bit pricey for 1 person but I do love seeing a man enjoy his food ❤️

I had this shepherds pie last night and really enjoyed it too another superd review thank you

Well done! Wearing a poppy!

That looked tasty! I agree it could do with more meat than 14%. Enjoy your weekend pal.

A Shepherds pie sarnie. Ya can't beat it. 😁

A tin of beans was always 400g...not anymore

That certainly looked good Gareth. Very impressive with your dress honouring our fallen hero’s!

Looks really good, just a shame I'm not fussed on lamb. Deffo prefer cottage or cumberland pie. Pricy but nice for a treat

Nice one Gareth rushing my juice nearly gone 👍

Bonjour mon petit pois, Gareth. That looks like a tasty meal. Just hope the Shepherd doesn't mind you eating his pie !!!!!!!!!!

Cottage pie is a favourite of mine. Price seems reasonable

The Shepards pie takes a back seat here G Man, Wearing that jacket with the Poppy says all about You brother.. Bravo my friend...
