After sex and beer, Pasties are possibly the nicest things on earth. As a proud Janner, I would argue that Devon ones are the best, like my Gran used to make, but a Cornish one can be just as scrummy.

Sex and a pasty and beer , what better in what order I would make a pig of myself, lets see beer pasty
and sex or beer sex and a pasty, What combination I don't Know, one thing I do know all them crumbs
and beer stains etc, I wonder would Missy wash the sheets after.!
A Cornish Pasty
A Devon Pasty
You will notice a distinct difference. The Traditional Cornish is crimped along the side whereas the Devon is sporting a top crimp. This is supposed to be the way to identify where the pasty was born but is not a very reliable identification method. I have seen pasties in both counties crimped similarly, with much the same contents. They are both delish.
Here is a huge pasty, a whopper made by Ron Dewdney the infamous Plymouth Pasty Maker behind Ron Dewdneys and brother of equally infamous Ivor Dewdney Plymouth Pasty maker.
It should be made with shortcrust pastry using lard
The pastry should be circular and then folded over to make a semicircular D shape
It should contain Beef skirt,potatoe,turnip (swede) onion and be seasoned with salt and pepper.
The following ingredients should not be found in a pasty
Carrots
Chicken
Tandoori Chicken
lamb
The correct contents should be sliced or diced but never minced.
If you really must a cheese and onion is acceptable and a home made traditional split with apple in one end and savoury the other is fine
Not sure if many have tried to buy a pasty t'up North in the UK?
I went to a bakery and was presented with these weird square flat things, labelled as a pasty, but not even close.
I have friends who ask us to bring Pasty's to them whenever we visit.
@Greenbeanz, do you know the story between the two Dewdney brothers? I've always wondered, never knew. I'm assuming it's a Noel and Liam style hatred.
For the record, Ginsters Pasty's are not even close to being like a real one!
I had a pasty once , and it had peas in with the meat, that's not a pasty is it.
My dad used to go on a pasty making frenzy every once in a while putting all sorts of shit in um, whatever was to hand I think most of the time.
He's dead now but I assure you it wasnt pasty related.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

@0james0 You are right mate Ginsters are plain wrong. I don't Know the Dewdney story no, but It would be interesting to find out. Ivor seems the most successful but they have both done all right. I like Hills you know the Friary Mill ones.
I like Friary Mill, but they are quite posh pastys, I like mine more rough and ready. Ivor Dewdneys are my favourite, despite the fact they use the cheapest meat and grubby spuds!
A good new pasty discovery I made recently was a little butchers, at the top of market road in Plympton. Massive pastys, loads of meat and cheap.
