Pasties

Personally I'm a cheese and onion man, eaten cold. But I know a lot of people love the traditional Cornish, straight out of the oven. Either way, pastys are immense.

I hate pastys.

never had one. Id like to try

ditto.

"The traditional Cornish pasty is filled with diced beef, sliced potato and onion, and baked."

Holy shit, do you reckon aphex twin eats these?

The ones I've had (in Wisconsin) taste like someone boiled all the flavor out of meat, onions and potatoes and then put the waste into a flavorless bread-like pocket.

How is a good one prepared and where do you get one?

They look and sound like a pot pie folded in half.

i thought this was going to be about those things that stick to women's nipples.

Ginsters

These are almost as good. NSFW!

Used to love a cornish in my meat-eating days... did anyone get Philie T's zine with Luke Vibert's pasty recipe in it?

These days I'm a Greggs vegetable pasty man.

Greggs pastys are fucking wicked.

Oh no man, come on. I mean, being veggie is a good cause and all that, but surely there are better savoury pastry snacks out there than a Greggs?

Pasty trivia: the ruffled edge of a pasty is called the crimp. It was originally designed so that when miners were chowing down on their pastys, they could hold the crimp and not get their main pasty meaty goodness dirty.

Noooooooo

Au contraire, I love my local Greggs, it's the price/quality ratio. It's the lush pastry I'm after, the slightly disappointing filling isn't my focus. I'm a pastry man, and I love their pastry!

Although someone was murdered outside my local Greggs a few weeks ago.

they are like hot pockets. Americans would need them to fit into a toaster, but I'm all about it right now. I want one.

I love how they were invented for coal miners. One end meat, the other end dessert. So inventive.

I always wondered about this. In theory, a good idea...but what happens if you take the last bite of the savoury meat bit, and it mingles with the start of the sweet jam bit? I don't want that. I would need a pastry partition in my pasty.

Cornish pasties are amazing.

I will eat a Ginsters chicken and mushroom when I find myself at a service station in a state of malnourishment

It happens to the best of us. Those bastards prey on the desperation of motor-side service users

I like sweet stuff on my meat. oh shit that sounds wrong. One of my favorite foods is sausage egg and cheese sandwich on biscuit with a dab of jelly. People look at me cross eyed when I request jelly but it works.

imo pasties shouldn't be made in the traditional Cornish way. that crap was designed for miners, and is traditionally rock-hard (to withstand being tossed down mine shafts) and unpleasant to eat and stodgy (not terrible or anything but over-hyped). pasties were of course eaten before Cornish miners took them to other places and made them known (they had to leave Cornwall to find work) and the farmhouse version of pasty is just better. The oldest reference to pasties comes from Devon and talks about the transportation of venison for use in pasties.

(lol?)

My dinner's going to involve a Samosa, the pasty of the East.

pasties are amazing.

The Cornwall Pasty company make an awesome Steak and Stilton pasty, absolutely delicious I ate too many of those when I lived with my folks. Havent seen any shops up here in Manchester but it might be for the best.
