Why do we love Cornish Pasties?
What is it a about Cornish Pasties that we love? Is it the secret seasoning that those nasty Cornish people mix with the locally farmed vegetables that makes us crave them fortnightly? Is it the myriad of flavours that are offered that tempt us back to discover the next mouth watering serving? Or can it be that they put something else in the cornish pasty that makes us crave the golden cased meal?
In our opinion there are many different reasons as to why we love the pasty, but it is reliant upon one thing and one thing only…your first experience of a true cornish pasty, not the type that Greggs or Bakers Oven put in the window, these are not original cornish pasties!! No these are a hybrid of the authentic oggy, they are filled with ground beef, a very thin layer of vegetables and air… a true Cornish Pasty is cram packed full of goodness…take one apart and you will see that the pastry case traps a bounty of fresh localy farmed vegetable, the finest meat content, whether it is Lamb, Chicken or Steak…there is little room for air!
The Cornish Pasty also reminds us of those summer holidays in the South West, sitting on the beach with mates watching the surfers in Newquay whilst biting into a Lamb & Mint Cornish Pasty and washing it down with an refreshing bottle of Cornish Ale! Happy Days
