Posh pasty

Post by Gob »

TV chef James Strawbridge, of the Posh Pasty Co, has launched the world’s most expensive oggy with the help of the Padstow Pasty Co, with a recommended retail price of £10.95.

So what makes this pasty so special and wallet-munching? Is the steak made of gold, the crimp spun with the finest silk? No, this effectively is the best alternative to that Cornish staple, the crab sandwich, that you will ever taste. Made with white crab meat, 100 per cent Cornish butter pastry, clotted cream, white wine, samphire and seaweed, it’s a gourmet pasty like no other.

​​​​​​​I would buy one, would you? What's your attitude to expensive "one off" ephemera?

A perfect "in his face" projectile for Donald tRump.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

I know this 'hand-food' only from the Michigan Upper Peninsula, where it is everywhere--easier to find than a big mac.

But I was more interested in the fish version mentioned above. Looking at the map, Cornwall is within smell of the sea almost any where.
So why the BEEF form as the official, only genuine pasty"

Well, that works out to about 15 bucks American and I've spent that much on an upscale gourmet burger, (and crab in a wine cream sauce ain't bad) so I'd probably be willing to give it a try...

I'd want some Tabasco sauce (or similar type hot sauce) to sprinkle on it to liven it up a bit of course...

Not true. Gob told us last month that Vegemite was Marmite for the weak.

Reality is for people who can't handle Marmite. Vegemite is for people who can't handle Reality. And drugs are for people who can't handle Vegemite.

Vegemite is for poofs.
