The Gregg's Boson Particle

[DTCwordfan]

I discovered this on the Internet

Finally, Cornish scientists have found the missing part of what makes a Greggs' pasty so "nice".

The Large Pasty Collider, located close to Helston (a stone's throw from Lady J) used a medium Cornish pasty and a steak bake and the resultant collision between these two pastry delights (well one's a delight and the other garbage) gave evidence of the already-established fundamental particles of gravy, gristle, entrails, genitalia, onions, pastry, lukewarmness and now, finally, the elusive "Greggs boson", the particle responsible for giving such a hideous combination of crap it's so called delicious taste, has been identified as part of this.

[ummmm]

I have never eaten a pasty.

pmsl!!

it's all Ginster's propaganda you know..

[DTCwordfan]

a good Cornish pastie, you don't know what you are missing, ummmm - and they are not all meat and pastry - a true pastie uses chuck steak with diced onions, turnips/swedes and carrots (maybe a bit of parsnip).....originally like the Bedfordshire Clanger, they were split into two with apple on one side, giving a full meal to the tin miners etc...

Ummm - how come?!

[DTCwordfan]

I laughed when I saw it too, sloopy, on a scarlet fever forum site

[ummmm]

Just never liked the look of them, I don't like pastry either.

What's that really splendid pasty shop in Looe called, remind me dt, the one down near the quay - think it's a woman's name

[DTCwordfan]

that I do not know, sloopy, but from a quick search would guess it's Sarah's or Palfrey's

Sarah's!

Outstanding pasties, get hold of one

[albaqwerty]

The decent bakers surely would have identified the fruit end from the meat end?
Unless they'd fallen out with their hubbies...

[DTCwordfan]

tell you what is good as well ré Looe culinary offerings, sloopy, had a Treleavens ice-cream? Their gooseberry ice cream, and then their tequila and lime and voddie grapefruit sorbets are brilliant.

exactly alba, if they had fallen out, they would probably have done a "boxie" and filled one half with tacks.

[albaqwerty]

could have done that yesterday DT, and not told him which end had the tacks, in fact, I could have made the whole thing :-D

[humbersloop]

how did I miss that??

[shaneystar2]

I'm in the middle of making pasties atm.Skirt ,onion ,swede ,potato .The pastry is resting in the fridge .My Mum was a Falmouth woman born and bred .She could make a pasty that covered the plate and lasted a week :)
Mine never taste the same as hers but they're not too bad .

[DTCwordfan]

well done shaney.......the Sarah website has even a recipe.....all comes down to the quality of the ingredients and seasoning - as well as the pastry making - so are you a cock or a hen when it comes to pasties....?
