Your Favourite Pasty?

[Ponty]

Dewdneys.

Cheese and onion...

 

[Quintrell Green]

For me, overall the best is Hampsons of Hayle, but for traditional match day, it has to be from the Ivor van walking up to HP from the Brit

How can you forsake one of Cornwall's finest fo an Ivor? We always bring ours up from Hayle wrapped in insulation and suck em down in the garden of a local public house!

Hampsons must be quite some pasty to drive 30 odd miles west to buy it in Hayle, and then drive 70/80 miles east to attend Argyle, especially when you have Premier pasties on your local business park run by Frank Bradshaw and the lovely Fiona!

Is this a wind-up ?

No. I love 'em.

Morrison's vegan pasties are quite nice too.

Love meat but hate fat and gristle.

On match days, I get my pasty from the white van parked opposite the Brit on the junction with the
Life Centre car park. I’ve no idea whose they are, but they are a proper Cornish pasty and DEFINITELY NOT a mulched up mixture of slop in a non-Cornish pasty looking pastry, otherwise known as a dewdney.

Or as it should be known - the Dudney :funny:

Having grown up in Hayle and now being landlocked in lockdown in Gloucestershire, I occasionally dream of a Philips. A large. It’s like holding a small baby they are that big. And when at their best, pound for pound, no other pasty will touch them.

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!
