@ Cubster, Pinched across the top you say for a pasty?, hmmm now that is a new discussion altogether some say the side crimp is the 'proper' way. You'll be putting your jam on first for a cream tea next...oh sorry THAT is the cornish way. Historically speaking the pasty was invented in Devon as the earliest mention of it comes from there. I wouldn't tell that to any one from Cornwall though...

[Biggus Dickus]

Mmmmmm................Devon.......Cornwall........I like them both..............
...............There's only way to sort this out....

Hmm1 Devon pasty. Doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?

Well we have a Bolton delicacy called the Pasty Barm.

This is a Carrs ( has to be Carrs which are made in Bolton) pasty which are superb in a Giant Barm cake with a drop of HP Brown sauce. Delicious and filling!

I also like Pies from Pools of Wigan . THese can be found sometimes in the freeezer dept and come from the capital of pie eaters !

@ Cubster, Pinched across the top you say for a pasty

Niet tovarich, it must be pinched across the top for a traditional Cornish pasty. Other regional pasties are no doubt available (and edible) in various configurations, yet to be a true Cornish pasty it has to have a top crimp.

And a sister-wife.

Doesn't it depend on where you are or what you're doing? Meat and 'tatie pie with red cabbage is fantastic on a cold, crisp Bonfire Night; a Burbushes' Beef Growler from Tebay/Westmoreland M6 services hits the spot after a hard mountain bike ride, and a fresh, straight-from-the-oven apple pie or rhubarb crumble with cream can't be beaten - for smell as well as taste! A Cornish pastie tastes far better on the beach at Newquay than it does on the mean streets of Lancashire ... And a pie and a pint is terrific - though I'll forgo the mushy peas please, Carvel ... nearly as bad as specknoedel!

Gotta have mushy peas! Another traditional accompaniment!

[Comte Michel]

a Burbushes' Beef Growler

That conjures up some images....

Mushy peas - nooooooooOOOOOOO! The one thing in the world I simply cannot eat. Vile, despicable things.

For me it would have to be Cottage or Cumberland Pie as I don't like lamb

When I eat lamb I end up like this
