If theres one thing that gets the blood boiling down in the South West of England it's the ingiedients and method of making a Pasty. Pasties originated as a solution to provide tin miners with an all in one meal including meat, veg and a seperate chamber for dessert enclosed in a pastry crust with a thick rim that the toxic fingers could hold whilst eatingthen throw away.
Since moving down to this part of UK I have become keen to find the true pasty and so far the picture is blurred.
For example on this blog is a video of "how to make a cornish pasty" which uses Lamb! Now I'm a newbie but the general consensus is that Beef Skirt is a must.
I'm also tickled by references to a local blogger - the Pasty Muncher who continually challenges UK Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver to introduce traditional Cornish Pasties ontohis menu at the New Fifteen Cornwall restaurant.
Amongst the DC crew is there anyone who can confidently post details of a truely great pasty please.
