The best Cornish Pasties I ever had were made by a tiny bakers in Harwich.
Champagne
Parma ham
Sherry
I get the picture, but Cornish Pasty stretches the credulity a bit. Who would want to bootleg that particularly vile local brand of inedible snack?
I so have the need for a Ginsters Pastie now...![]()
. I found a pube in one once, probably the closest thing to meat one will ever see.![]()
if you are despertate nip to a mainline station in London and get a west cornwall pasty company one. they are bearable. the beef and stilton pasties are good
The station ones are good post pub/football munchy.. however they are cooked to nuclear volume.. many a time I have removed the skin from inside my gob because they were so bloody hot.
Must've been an American pie.. I found a pube in one once,
I was told that the virtually impenetrable and wholly indigestible pastry was packaging and was never intended to be eaten. The idea was that a Cornishman could take his lunch down the mine and not contaminate it with the evil toxic metallic gunk that was sticking to his fingers. Eating a complete pasty is like getting your supper from a chippie and eating it, including the newspaper it came wrapped in. It's just wrong.
The pastry was eaten. That was the whole point of the crimping. The crimping was to get a hold of the pastry so the rest (clean) could be eaten.
