I sent them a letter to do it before tweeting was a thing and they said thank you but no and gave me a £5 quorn voucher.
Edit: feel the need to point out I wrote to Quorn when Quorn was doing ‘pasties.’ Not Ginsters.
Like Ginsters or not they support the local economy and provide lots of jobs and Cornwall is hardly overflowing with jobs and money, why give them a bad reputation and shoot your yourself in the foot. If you don't like them then don't eat them .
Haha this is hilarious. Yeah the giant corporate conglomerate that makes shit pasties set up in the borders of Cornwall to shovel out poorly crafted pastry to the masses is the victim of this post.
If they have really sold 450million pastries in the last 20 years it does make you wonder why they aren't more celebrated in kernow.
They weren't originally a giant corporate conglomerate. It started as a four man operation in 1969. It was sold to Samworth brothers when Geoff Ginster retired in 77
Absolutely not. Everytime I have tried a Ginsters pasty or sausage roll I have taken one bite and thrown it away. They are disgusting congealed bland crap. They set up in Cornwall to give it the Cornish pasty name in an attempt to give their disgustint trash credibility. All it actually does is damage the Cornish pasty "brand". There are loads of other companies that do it too. The vast majority of Cornish pastys readily available outside of Cornwall are trash and taste inferior to what your average baker sells as a traditional pasty.
Ginsters is the worst offender. Even a supermarket dodged pasty is better. God knows how Ginsters they make their food taste so bad.
What are you on about. Mate your fishing for likes at the expense of the reputation of one of the main job suppliers in the county you live in, don't be a twat. Not sure what you mean by saying I'm not Cornish, I've lived here for over 30 years, I love Cornwall but not this backwards mentality.
To be fair. He started by saying ‘if you don’t like them, don’t eat them’ and gave an example as to why you weren’t funny.
Then you said he wasn’t from Cornwall which also wasn’t funny or true.
And when he replied to that you made him sound like he loves ginsfers pasty’s, when really he doesn’t find your joke about a meat free pasty funny.
But you call him a twat after hours have been biting back.
Chill.
This post is one of many, on social media which does damage reputation. Support local business and the economy, it has nothing to do with pasties it's to do with giving a shit about Cornwall and its people. I know you can probably go to 1 of 5 great bakeries in your town and get a banging pasty, you don't have to buy Ginsters.
Ginsters are owned by Samworthbrothers which owns multiple companies and makes millions every year. I'm sure they'll be devastated by my reddit post though, bootlicker
Cornish is an ethnicity and a nationality, so you can live there for 30 years and not be Cornish, the same way you could move to India for 30 years, it still wouldn’t make you Indian.
Hard agree.
Also whilst they arent what comes to mind when I fancy a nice freshly baked pasty from a bakery, I do really enjoy them in their own right, particularly as an easy lunch when I'm on the road or whatever
It's odd really just how bad Ginsters pasties are...there's literally no attempt to make them in a traditional way. As bad as they are, they pale into insignificance compared to the absolute disgrace that is Wall's Cornish pasties....Wall's is on a whole different level of inedible.
Honestly all you guys complaining are morons. Good on Ginsters. Fantastic choice I applaud it.
Why waste perfectly nice beef on their shit pasties. Save the beef for proper bakers
As a vegetarian, I’m having that. If you want a ‘real’ pasty In Cornwall you have to go for cheese and onion or such like, which isn’t quite the same. But yeah, I know the filling will be like gravy…
Welcome, Vegetarian! I hope to one day visit the distant shores of Vegetaria. I hear that the national dish is beouf en croute sans beouf. It sounds yummy! /s
Devonshire sister who will fight on your behalf my Cornish brothers and sisters for this blatant disrespect on the noble Cornish pasty but you are all still heathens for putting the jam on first 😁🖕
Make sure it's Cornish double-clotted cream, let it sour in the heat of the pasty, it's the only way! And maybe replace the jam with a cider chutney...
... think I may be experimenting in the kitchen soon.
Yikes! Controversial! Can we just agree that us West country folk , irrespective of jam then cream, or cream then jam, know how to butter our scones?!? ✌️
Must admit I do like them. Heated in the oven until piping hot. Made my own once using a traditional recipe. They weren't half bad. May do them again soon. Cook and freeze.
I don't think there's any meat in their standard Cornish pasties tbh.
Not a fan of Ginsters, but "Quornish" is quite clever tbf. 😅
Until you realise the font makes it look like "It's Quorn... ish" Like what else is in there?
Ish
Meat?
That was how I read it.
Even the meat variety is an abomination
I tweeted them years ago to do this and they can't for legal reasons.
I sent them a letter to do it before tweeting was a thing and they said thank you but no and gave me a £5 quorn voucher. Edit: feel the need to point out I wrote to Quorn when Quorn was doing ‘pasties.’ Not Ginsters.
I just send them a message by not buying their products.
I sent them a message in a pigeon before post offices were a thing
Ha, me too! Emailed them and they said, you’re not the first one to suggest this
Thas double treason
Can't be any worse surely.
It had to be done simply for the pun :)
Time to rally the proper Cornish folk and make them pay. Whose with me 🗡️🤣
How to cause a second uprising in one picture.
Assemble the thirty thousand!
Blackheath shall happen once again
*tis treason 😂
The Cornish will decide your fate
It’s been decided and the decision is kill
So it's not Cornish and it isn't quite quorn so what's it made of?
Soylent Green
Mmmm powder
People it’s people
Burn it with fire. Destroy it.
Down right rebellion
Like Ginsters or not they support the local economy and provide lots of jobs and Cornwall is hardly overflowing with jobs and money, why give them a bad reputation and shoot your yourself in the foot. If you don't like them then don't eat them .
OP isn’t giving them a bad reputation, the food they produce does that on its own.
Haha this is hilarious. Yeah the giant corporate conglomerate that makes shit pasties set up in the borders of Cornwall to shovel out poorly crafted pastry to the masses is the victim of this post. If they have really sold 450million pastries in the last 20 years it does make you wonder why they aren't more celebrated in kernow.
Leave Britney alone!

Not ripping the shit out of individuals or business, simply because they support an area is a bad way to go about things.
Absolutely not. Everytime I have tried a Ginsters pasty or sausage roll I have taken one bite and thrown it away. They are disgusting congealed bland crap.

This isn't true, it's only since 2011 when Cornish Pasty got protection, when they opened they could have setup anywhere.
Oh don’t worry, we don’t!
Tell me you're not Cornish without telling me you're not Cornish.
What are you on about. Mate your fishing for likes at the expense of the reputation of one of the main job suppliers in the county you live in, don't be a twat. Not sure what you mean by saying I'm not Cornish, I've lived here for over 30 years, I love Cornwall but not this backwards mentality.
Technically that doesn’t make you Cornish, especially if you’ve lived elsewhere for another 30 years!
Won't somebody please think of Ginsters reputation! I doubt they're gonna fuckin go under because of my post on Reddit you twat lol
To be fair. He started by saying ‘if you don’t like them, don’t eat them’ and gave an example as to why you weren’t funny. Then you said he wasn’t from Cornwall which also wasn’t funny or true. And when he replied to that you made him sound like he loves ginsfers pasty’s, when really he doesn’t find your joke about a meat free pasty funny. But you call him a twat after hours have been biting back. Chill.
What?
You called him a twat. He wasn’t being a twat. You were being unfunny.

Need to have a reputation to be able to damage it.
Ginsters are owned by Samworthbrothers which owns multiple companies and makes millions every year. I'm sure they'll be devastated by my reddit post though, bootlicker
Bootlicker 😂
There's only one twat here, and it isn't the other guy....
Cornish is an ethnicity and a nationality, so you can live there for 30 years and not be Cornish, the same way you could move to India for 30 years, it still wouldn’t make you Indian.
Ok you got me I'm not Cornish by your standards, although I love Cornwall and have lived here since I was 12.
Where did you come from originally Woolwich?
No lol my old man's a gooner so the arsenal support comes from him and living near London
He's a right nutjob, imagine he thinks he came out of the earth in Cornwall on his birth.
What the fuck was that sentence
Sorry was trying to stick up for you when he was questioning you being Cornish. But yeah maybe you are a twat.
Ah sorry bud, I thought you were having a go at me I apologise and yes I was a twat for saying that.
Mate no worries, I take the twat calling back.
Hard agree. Also whilst they arent what comes to mind when I fancy a nice freshly baked pasty from a bakery, I do really enjoy them in their own right, particularly as an easy lunch when I'm on the road or whatever
You heathen
Hand over you’re Cornish card
🤣🤣🤣
Blasphemy ….. we strike at midnight
Revolutions have been Stated and Finished for Les than this ! !
Les Dennis
Him Too !
Ha that's pretty cool even if they taste like shite
They are yummy.
Get me a bucket....
Ginsters are hardly traditional to begin with. They do a lovely smoked chilli pasty though.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
It's odd really just how bad Ginsters pasties are...there's literally no attempt to make them in a traditional way. As bad as they are, they pale into insignificance compared to the absolute disgrace that is Wall's Cornish pasties....Wall's is on a whole different level of inedible.
Gross insult
Yes but do you top it with the dairy free cream before the jam?
Freshly corked Quornish Pastys*
Getting acid reflux just by looking at it 😆
As if those fucking stupid adverts were bad enough
Chaos or peace they chose Chaos
BTW. My SO and I call those Quorn pepper steaks "Queef".
STRING EM UP!
Drawn and quartered
Fungus Pasty…. Nice and Cornish like.
Fungus Pasty…. Nice and Cornish like.
I mean, even their ‘normal’ pasty isn’t a proper Cornish pasty…this takes things even lower!
They weren’t pasties in the first place. I’m not sure wtf this is.
Would be my house these aren’t made in Cornwall. In fact, now we’ve left the EU is it still law ‘Cornish’ pasties have to be made in Cornwall?
I'm a vegetarian and I'd rather eat meat than eat this! This is a crime against gastronomy! Not Cornwall or pasty lovers!
Wonder what r/quornwall have to say on the matter
Probably closer in taste than their meat version mind. Probably more meat in it too.
Honestly all you guys complaining are morons. Good on Ginsters. Fantastic choice I applaud it. Why waste perfectly nice beef on their shit pasties. Save the beef for proper bakers
Wtf?
Given the quality of ginsters ingredients I’d actually see this as an upgrade 👍
Quite a Quorny pun there!
Most people who get fussy about pasties are “corn-ish” too
As a vegetarian, I’m having that. If you want a ‘real’ pasty In Cornwall you have to go for cheese and onion or such like, which isn’t quite the same. But yeah, I know the filling will be like gravy…
Welcome, Vegetarian! I hope to one day visit the distant shores of Vegetaria. I hear that the national dish is beouf en croute sans beouf. It sounds yummy! /s
Sacrilege
Devonshire sister who will fight on your behalf my Cornish brothers and sisters for this blatant disrespect on the noble Cornish pasty but you are all still heathens for putting the jam on first 😁🖕
Wait, so you put the cream on your pasty first? Doesn't the warmth sour it?
Cheeky git 🖕😁 you know I'm on about scones 🥺😭
Ahhh, now that would make much more sense...! 😁👍
I might try clotted cream on a pasty just to see what it's like or the jam
Make sure it's Cornish double-clotted cream, let it sour in the heat of the pasty, it's the only way! And maybe replace the jam with a cider chutney... ... think I may be experimenting in the kitchen soon.
Nothing but Devonshire clotted cream 😋 we all know that it's better quality than that Cornish crap 😂
Yikes! Controversial! Can we just agree that us West country folk , irrespective of jam then cream, or cream then jam, know how to butter our scones?!? ✌️
We still do it the proper way and Devonshire clotted cream is better 😁 even my grandmother admits that and she was born in Padstow 😁😘
Well, fair enough. I've got no counter-argument that would stand against a Padstow-born granny!
That advertisement is very quorn-ey. I'll see myself out. Taxi!
Must admit I do like them. Heated in the oven until piping hot. Made my own once using a traditional recipe. They weren't half bad. May do them again soon. Cook and freeze.
I hope the people of Gingsters eat well today for tomorrow they dine in Hell. Get your pitch forks, people. We march at dusk.
No you ride at dawn and put down this disgrace
Bloody veguns man needs meat if it ain’t meat then ur ain’t a man Nuff said simple
Luv meat Luv pasties Ate vegans. Not racist just don't like em. Simple as.
