I bought a CO OP Cornish Pasty from our local CO OP convenience shop yesterday it's the first time i've had one and they were really nice better than the well known brand's Anybody got any favourite own shop brand of food
 
Quite like shopping in independent stores because they care about their Produce , there are some lovely ones in my local covered market , found some nice places in both Lincoln and of course York last weekend making me wish I lived there but of the mainstream shops I quite like Waitrose and we have a Fenwicks in Newcastle but its only for specific items because need a second mortgage to shop at both. I know you are a very busy person but making your own pasty must be better than any shop bought.

Looked it up says it was made by Branston but under a Premier Foods label apparently long stopped Production [presumably because Branston Pickle sells better] . There was an attempt to get it manufactured again but Chris Evans waded into the argument and campaigned for its return , enough said!

When I was ateacher in a private school many years ago the food was not - shall we say - brilliant. We used to get through a jar a day of Pan Yan to disguise the taste of whatever we had - even considered putting it on our rice pudding as that was often not good!

As this was a boarding school we were there seven days a week, living on the premsies. I was junior maaster science and maths!

When I was in college we would stare at the dining room ceiling and bemoan the vitamins that were up there. We knew that they were on the ceiling because they certainly were not in the food.

When we ate it by the bucketful in the mid 1960s it was made by Maconichies
