Originally posted by maxibuddah Got to live up to your stereotype Mark, can you imagine the outcry if I had turned up with a nice 4 lead salad for goodness sake? Anyway pasties are good for you, there are plenty of veg in them, potatoes, swede, peas and carrot, very nearly all of your 5 a day in a single handy size package.

I thought we should return to pasties, the main purpose of this thread, just consumed a Bentleys award winning pasty, complete with carrot and swede, truely excellent, short crust pastry and  plenty of lean meat. No mention made of Cornwall, but unlikely as it was made and eaten in Pudsey and being in Yorkshire the inmates don't recognise the rest of the country or indeed anywhere else.

Is this some sort of brandy and babycham substitute?

The best pasty I ever had came from.............................Devon, Ethel Braithwate's little shop in Lynton (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=51.22934,-3.833666&spn=0.000752,0.00202&t=h&z=20&layer=c&cbll=51.22934,-3.833666&panoid=lHFVIuaqMr3P-iiIN9AfZg&cbp=12,107.2,,0,0).

A beautiful steak and Stilton job it was too.

My sailing highlight, having a ding dong battle with a flying fifteen in a pursuit race while sailing a 420 with an even more novice crew than me with no trapeze and no spinnaker and holding them at bay for most of the race until I f**ked up the last mark rounding.
