Welcome Pasty man- your name made me remember an incident at Tintagel, a harassed mum and screaming unhappy offspring being dragged up the steps....heard shouting
"If yoou don't behave yoou wont be gettin your pasty" in broad Cornish accent, we found it funny, you probably had to be there.......any way welcome Pasty Man

(I think so Deb! )

G'Day Pastyman,

Do you pronounce that with a long or a short "a"?

Welcome to the site anyway!

Nev

[Millymollymandy]

Short 'a' Nev, like in northern 'bath'. I say southern 'barth'. But we southerners don't say 'parsty'.

I could have said pronounce like pasta but remembered a Kiwi friend calling it 'parsta'.

Anyway, hello Pastyman and welcome to the site!

[Wombat]

Yep! Us too! Thanks M3

Hi Pastyman, and welcome!

[Andy Hamilton]

have found this site to be very helpful over the past couple of months.

glad to hear it.

welcome to the site and do true cornish pasties have carrots in them?

[Martin]

lived near you on a boat just after I got hitched - had her moored at Gweek creek - smashing part - lovely and warm, even in winter!

[Ranter]

Hiya Pastyman,

Your name brings memories of the wonderful pasties I get from the farmers market. Not remotely Cornish, but very tasty.

Damn it, hungry again.

Anyhow, welcome.

[Shirley]

Hi from up north in aberdeenshire, also feeling hungry at the thought of pasties mmmmmmm

Hello and welcome pastyman. Tregony a beautiful part of Cornwall. Stopped there once on the way to St Mawes. I live in Cornwall to at the moment.

[Sharon]

Welcome, Pastyman

Your garden sounds great. *Blush* this is the first year we've tried potatoes - no room in the garden so we put them into a couple of old (leaking) black bins and they are doing well. Think they should be ready at the start of July.

regards

Sharon

Andy,no we do not use carrots in Proper cornish pasties,unless of course you buy so called cornish pasties at motorway service stations.

Welcome Pasty Man!

We are very fortunate to have a Cornish Pasty Man in Trowbridge (Millie have you had a pie from there? ~ he's quite charming!) who sells pretty good pastys of all kinds including the original type too. He is proud to have his black flag with a white cross in it on his counter.

Here's to your first spuds!
