if you haven’t tried the Greggs stuff from Iceland,

Probably comes out the freezer from Iceland warmer than you get it at Greggs IME.

Really been put off the place by some shockingly tepid offerings the last few times. 😐

I'm not trying hard enough: stayed in Helston earlier this year* and wasn't aware of Anne's Pasties or Gear Farm. After trying plenty we thought Philps were the best of the 'common' pasties. Mrs a11y's revisiting Helston next month so I'll get an order in...

(* and a week last year, and another week the year before that - I really should try harder)

Don’t think I’ve seen a corned beef pasty in Greggs down sarf.

Luckily I’ve got a knock out old school independent pie shop nearby. Since I’m dining alone this week-last night was a fantastic curried beef pasty that I’d not had before. Tonight is the tried and tested (and their bestseller) steak & Stilton in proper pie format

Just realised I had a cheese n onion pasty earlier while delayed for 3hours at the train station

@jonswhite

Pasty = Beef shin skirt, potatoes, swede, onion, salt and pepper.

Fixed it for you.

Someone mentioned pasties from a butcher being the best. This statement is mostly true.
However when I moved to our mill town of Marple many years ago, I spied a queue outside the local family bakery, yep they make the best pasties in the area and now bake several different fillings of veggie options as well as the usual meat and potato. 'Archer's' is the name. They also bake the most delicious fruit tarts - drool.
