My former in-laws were from West Cornwall and my then mother-in-law (God rest her) like most Cornish women, regularly made her own pasties which were great. Mine overlapped the plate by inches on either side and swiftly became forever known as a Bismarck, despite my father in law (GRH) having been in the battle to sink the Bismarck in WW2 as a young sailor on the Prince of Wales.

Ahh but do you like gravy with your chips?

I know they say you should try everything at least once, hence I have eaten a dudney pasty ONCE! However, this Yorkshireman has never ruined a plate of chips with gravy or cheese for that matter. Curry sauce at a push. Mushy peas always.

I must admit I really don't understand cheesy chips.

I was in my local chippy in Preston & this bloke had chips with tonnes of grated cheese on top then covered that with lashings of graaavy.

They do love their gravy in Lancashire.

Wrong on every level. Be like having gravy on a pasty. Don’t tell me some people do!
Mind you, if I ever had to have another Dudney's I’d probably smother it in gravy, curry sauce, cheese and mushy peas to make it in some minor way palatable!

I never get to grips with how many people vote the worst pasty on there as the best.
