The Pasty

[Beanz]

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.

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

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.

No that is not mate. Peas in a pasty is enough to get you sent to Coventry in the Westcountry. Do it twice and you end up in Dartmoor.

@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.
