Just recently we have twice eaten some rather good ones bought in branches of a specialist outlet in London and also had some good ones in York a year or so back. Some of these had fillings that were variations on the theme: Lamb & Mint, Chicken Balti ... but you still can't beat the original! <br />St Piran is new to me though - what a good idea (and way) to celebrate his day.<br />hopeeternal<br />'Meanderings through my Cookbook'<br />www.hopeeternalcookbook.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559862206054673677.post-62344765654857821622011-03-05T12:34:38.722+00:002011-03-05T12:34:38.722+00:00You're quite right Dom the crimp was a sort of...You're quite right Dom the crimp was a sort of handle to hold the pasty by and sometimes there might have been apple or jam in one end. Someone told me very recently the story about saving the meat until the second day. The pastry is also supposed to be tough enough to be dropped and not break the pasty open - I'm not sure I'd want it that hard!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045660787350825648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559862206054673677.post-23381723639388495402011-03-05T12:20:57.426+00:002011-03-05T12:20:57.426+00:00They look amazing - the pastry is just the prefec...They look amazing - the pastry is just the prefect colour.<br /><br />Interesting as always :-}Brownieville Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492647486930989408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559862206054673677.post-22014328556812378402011-03-05T10:57:45.380+00:002011-03-05T10:57:45.380+00:00delicious!... I love a good old fashion Pasty... I...delicious!... I love a good old fashion Pasty... I was always told the crimping was a handle created for miners to hold onto as they had dirty hands... the crust was never eaten... was also told (by a cornish man) that the pasty usually had savoury in one half and sweet in the other... it was essentially a packed lunch in one bit of pastry!... lovely post as usual xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431297921869969693noreply@blogger.com
