I have had the cottage pie and the lasagna. Cottage pie , I think there must be a shortage of potatoes and mice because it has the thinnest layer of mash on top and so much gravey in the mince that... See more

What's happened to Bisto powder quality?

My mother always swore by Bisto when I was a child and used nothing else for making gravy. I'm now in my late 70s and have used Bisto all through married life for making gravy but goodness knows what's happened to it in recent years. Following the instructions on the packet (which I never had to) the gravy would come out like dish water! I use my own measurements but have found that I now have to use more and more gravy powder to get a good consistency (I prefer thick gravy). I don't use granules if at all possible but feel that I'm being forced to as the quality of the powder is now so poor. I'll be using a shovel soon to get a decent, tasty thickness of gravy! Also, I always purchase where I can the packets containing 454g of powder. The suppliers of these are now few and far between, unless you buy online (which I don't), I prefer to shop local but unfortunately my local shops do not stock the 454g only the 200g which again I felt I was given no option but to purchase. Unfortunately this will not last long due to the quantity of powder that needs to be used!

Waste of money

Most flavourless non thickening gravey on the planet,i am so sickened that as i couldnt get my usual gravey which by the way is less than half price and a hell of a lot nicer i ended up paying £4.55,i would rather go without Bisto gravey than buy that again!

Yuck - Repulsive Bisto Dinner

My husband and I each ate one of the chilli con carne with rice meals. They were the most repulsive, vile things I have ever had the misfortune to eat. There was barely one piece of edible mincemeat because it was all gristle and disgusting hard bits of who knows what. It was barely suitable for a dog. needless to say I will never ever buy one of these microwave meals ever again. A very, very poor excuse for a meal. Extremely disappointing and waste of nearly £6.00.

Where's the flavour gone?

Bisto Reduced Salt Gravy Granules.
I noticed lately that the amazing Bisto gravy flavour has gone, and it's now bland, almost tasteless. What happened?
Won't be buying again, until I hear the old flavour is back.
Sad, as I've been enjoying Bisto my entire life.

Mess

Ok, bisto powder is really good. The packaging can only be described as wasteful and messy. A box and an inner bag, no matter how you do it, you will end up with powder all over the work tops. This fab product needs to be in one container. I have never had gravy granules all over the work tops . It can not be profitable to use two packages, the mess does put me off sometimes, please mr bisto send me a reply ,I do buy your products.

Weak & Nasty Bisto Gravy Granules

After year's of buying Bisto gravy granules I've got to say, that whoever had the idea to try and flog us off this cheap, nasty, poor version of Bisto has shot themselves in the foot.
I for one will never purchase this product ever again.
It seems like every big company on jumping on the band wagon of welcome to rip off Britain.
