West Cornwall Pasty Company does pretty solid grub. They're not shy with their HP sachets either, 'cept I always end up struggling to hold the pasty firmly in the paper bag with one hand, whilst failing to administer said brown sauce with the other.

I had a burger.

I went to a Wimpy once too. It was somewhere in Essex and I had the veggie burger. I remember it being good but I was v v drunk at the time so it might have been shit.

There was a Pasty stand inside Kings Cross that might have been this one that was pretty good.

the veggie burger (spicy bean-burger) used to be A.
last time i had a regular wimpy tho the onions tasted like bits of cellophane that had been sat in lukewarm water for a week and the burger matched it for flavour

originally it was designed because the miners' hands would be dirty so they held it by the seam and chucked it when they'd finished. also believe they could be made partitioned with a savoury filling in one half and a pudding in the other?

You're only supposed to throw the knob away if you've been digging all day in an arsenic rich tin seam. Soft Sowsneks (Cornwall is further south than you!) are allowed to eat the crust.

Greggs near my work just had a refit and now offers eating in facilities if I am prepared to pay VAT on my mexican bandito baguette. Also they now put some doughnuts etc on shelves within reach of the grasping public, so that we can put it into a paper bag ourselves (i.e. it has gone delice de france style posh).
