The Pasty

[Dia bando]

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.

And
Photographs will follow.

Sex and a pasty and beer , what better in what order I would make a pig of myself, lets see beer pasty

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.

[Beanz]

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.

[Beanz]

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
