Mail Order Cornish Pasties

Evening

So, been drifting around Cornwall for a good few years now and every year there's a quest to find a good local pasty. This year has it's challenges and we're staying local. We've found a fantastic pasty shop in our local town, it's called Sarah's Pasties in Looe. They will deliver for a minimum order (no problem with me!!). They will also do postal orders, check out their website.

We have the original "pasty"in our area ,did you know they did not originate in Cornwall

Ours have savoury one end and sweet the other as in the real farm workers pastie meal

Nah, that was tin miners in Cornwall. The crust was the handle and was thrown away after eating the two course savoury and sweet filling as obviously it was filthy and coated in arsenic from being held in a miner's hands. That is why the genuine Cornish pasty is crimped along the side and not on top.

We still showed the way ,as farming came before tin mining

ps Old photo of Tin miners shows pasties both side and top crimped wrapped in cloth being eaten

This has just solved a dilemma for us. Our veggie box has a swede in it,  and (cheating I know) but we have some pastry in freezer. I think I might get OH on the case tomorrow!😁

Have you been to Anne’s Pasty Shop in Lizard? Superb. Obviously when out and about becomes the norm again.👍
