ALERT: Pasty Updates

[roydo]

Chicken and cheese is an underrated combo.

There is a reason for that. And now you are going to tell us that you will accompany that with the devils own sauce, mustard, arent you?

Is a pasty just a meat pie in the shape of a taco/calzone?

Here in Fatmerica, a pasty is something used to cover nipples.

I was actually going for Encona.

But mustard you say.....

Kind of. Well yes really. The key to the original pasty was that it was actually designed to be a full meal for tin miners in Cornwall. So it is taco shaped, but had mince beef, potato, and swede, all sealed in a pastry shell, which is dead solid. You could literally leave it on a shelf or put it in large pocket till lunchtime.

Then some folk started lobbing chicken and cheese into them ffs.

mustard

The only "food" that was used as a weapon in a real war. Uggh

I guess an Empenada is as close to a pasty really.

That is amazing. I'm imagining endless possibilities for fillings.

It's not a weapon, it was just misunderstood.

Oh god, dont you start. Pasties should be like I described. Everything else should be called a pie, or a slice, or something. Taste a real, Cornish, one, and you would not dream of calling anything else a Pasty. Trust me. @Groucho should stick to cakes really.

As @blue4eva77 alluded to previously, I'll call them empenadas.

Any hint of an English origin and Americans will assume they taste like sawdust.

Ha Ha Ha

Thats the one !

English origin

Ah, well thats just unfortunate. The Cornish do not consider themselves very English. At all.

You're right in that it's supposed to be a meal in itself.

I did at least, leave the afters out.

They were taken to South America by Cornish miners. The locals took to them.

They're a very good copy of a pasty. Simple as.
