Topic : The Great Pasty Saga |
|
| alan |
Being curious why the Co-op sells Spanish pasties I e-mailed them, and this is the answer I got: - "Thank you for your recent enquiry concerning the sourcing of pasties in your local store. . Whenever possible we source products from United Kingdom producers in the first instance, only importing from approved overseas suppliers when British produce is either unavailable, or excessively expensive. However I will pass your concerns to the relevant departments." Apparently I would deduce that there is a shortage of English pasties  |

Good job I don't like pasties, can't even remember the last time I had one! The only thing I miss from emigrating from Lancashire was Hollands Pies. I'd sell my soul for a cheese pie and chips |
|
| skippy |
the coop sell hollands pies alan  there in the freezer my fave is the hollands hotpot yumyum |
|
| alan |
Might try there again. Not been using the Co-op whilst they had the silly bags, but my spies tell me that they've now got sensible bags. Bring on the Hollands pies |

Alan, according to the Hollands pie web site www.hollandspies.co.uk/where-to-buy/pies-close-to-you , you should be able to buy your strange Lancastrian delicacies at most of the local Coops. Bueno, Alan, de acuerdo con el sitio web de Pie Hollands, usted puede comprarlos en la mayoría de las tiendas de la cooperativa ALternatively try a cracking Pukka Pie (Made in Leicester) available at Morrissons.... |

Thanks tetleydrinker, maybe strange but not as strange as Spanish Pasties! |

Cornish Pasties are best from Cornwall.The best around here originate from Crantock on the north Cornish coast and can be bought on the pie stall in Morrisons.Some stores brand them as "Crantock" but I have seen them labelled as "The Best". Steak & Stilton my choice. |
|
| tetleydrinker |
Steak and Stilton ! An abomination, surely Stilton is from Cambridgeshire, Should it not be made with Cornish Yarg cheese ! Mind you Steak and Yarg pasties do not sound the most appealing According to my in depth pasty research a proper pasty should comprise of shortcrust pastry, potato, swede, onion and skirt beef seasoned with salt and pepper. Anything other than this and they should in my opinion be labelled "Cornish pasty shaped pies" e.g. Crantocks Steak and Stilton Cornish pasty shaped pie |
|
| skippy |
i thought stilton came from leictershire |
|
| Peter |
quotei thought stilton came from leictershire From near Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire www.stiltoncheese.com/US/pr/us.html .. and what's that got to do with a pasty |
|
| alan |
My Stilton comes from Sainsbury's. Love it with a nice malt |
|

a true cornish pasty, one half of the pasty would be meat and potatoe the other half would be jam this was so the cornish tin miners could eat there dinner and sweet straight after each other there would be a thick pastry top so they could hold the pasty with there dirty hands in short they would eat the pasty upside down starting at one end and working on to the other. |
