I'd love a Cornish Pasty!

[Vimto]

I live in Garstang in Lancashire. Can anyone inform me where I can obtain a real Cornish pasty without having to buy them by post which makes them both very expensive and not entirely fresh?

[craft1948]

Can't you make your own?

[Fitzer]

After we stayed in Padstow for my fish cookery course we had some sent home from these guys http://www.thechoughbakery.co.uk the delivery does add to the price but they freeze beautifully and as they're made the morning of dispatch they're about as fresh as you're going to get (unless you bake your own :-)) Since only pasties prepared in Cornwall can be called Cornish then you haven't got a lot of choice

^ it wasn't //cook// yourself people were suggesting steve

[ummmm]

I agree Steve, they will probably be better.

What a load of twaddle! You can make Cornish pasties anywhere, as long as you label them "pasties à la mode Cournouaille"

[humbersloop]

sorry to digress there op, agree with fitzer

[Fitzer]

Not a Cornish pasty then Mike, same as Parma ham etc. If Vimto had only wanted a Cornish 'style' pasty then they'd have no problem.

[craft1948]

Littlesteve I was 'telling' anyone to make their own, as Vimto wanted them fresh I asked if he/she could make their own. There's a very good comprehensive recipe on line from the cornish pasty association. If it's not something they fancy doing fair enough.................

^ Not telling

Mmmmm, I quite fancy a pasty now... I did say I would bring dinner home, and there is a stall near the station... could happen!

[Vimto]

Many thanks Fitzer for that address. I will have a look with great interest as it looks, as you say, that I will have to go to the source of the Cornish Pasty . I totally agree with you Littlesteve. As for your solution craft1948; if I could answer your response in the affirmative I wouldn't have had to ask my question in the first place which would, no doubt, have negated your need to have made such a puerile reply. See Littlesteve's comment (above) for the cause of commom sense. Incidentally, what brand of cigarette are you smoking?

[ummmm]

lol

[Fitzer]

Here you go http://www.cornishpas...uk/images/recipe.pdf, I would make my own but I'm rubbish with pastry, hands are far too warm

[craft1948]

Thanks for your post Vimto, I'll bear it in mind for your future posts. My cigarettes at the moment are E-Lites (thanks for your interest)

http://www.cornishpas....uk/images/recipe.pdf try again without the comma!

I was brought up in Cornwall. I remember once asking my Grandmother for the recipe to her pasties. She didn't know. It was just a case of ...... a handful of this; a pinch of that; a bit of something else etc .................. not much help I'm afraid :o(

[China Doll]

Pretty sure the hairy bikers did a decent recipie The Builder... I've not tried it but I seem to recall bookmarking it as some point because I thought it looked good and I thought I'd try to make it. Unfortunately there's not been a blue moon recently which is generally when I put it to practice my baking skills.
