Pasty Dilemma

[mattdaniels]

The gf fancied pasties for dinner. So being a true gent, I found a recipe and have had a go at them.

Having announced they are in the oven and will be done in 50 mins she said did you use the peas and carrots from the fridge.

Erm....thanks Hairy Bikers but no mention of peas OR carrots. http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/396158/Hairy-B...
Have I committed a pasty faux-pas?

Potato, swede, onion, carrot. No peas.

cornish pasty content = meat, potato, swede/turnip and a bit of salt and pepper iirc

Hmmm may have missed the swede as well. It's basically meat, potato, onions in some pastry.

^^^^^^That's four of your five major food groups right there. Have it with a beer and that's your five-a-day!

There is so much win in this thread, not what I expected. Thanks chaps.

[mattdaniels]

Although - I did do some peas in the end. But just as a side you understand.

Apparently if it has carrots it can't be called a Cornish Pasty even if it is made there. Just to confuse things even more the Cornish have swapped the terms 'Parsnip' and 'Turnip'.

Or summat.

And the booze??


Looks good...Man size pasty for the win! (Or have you got really small plates?)

[mattdaniels]

I promise that's a proper dinner plate.

The secret to a good pasty is lots of black pepper.
