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.

Sticky fingers.

I went to Wimpy once. It was good, Wimpy.

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.

West Cornwall Pasty Company

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

i'm sorry for whatever (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 3 August 2011 18:19 (twelve years ago) link

I remember being very entertained by the real plates and stuff but like I said - very very drunk. Might have been Ilford.

The only one of these I've ever had is Pret a Manger. I used to get sandwiches there fairly often when I worked near one in NYC.

My favourite disgusting fast food meal is a Whopper meal, but don't see BK so I guess I'll go for Pret, the middle class option.

That picture's from their website, where they're trying their damnedest to make the food look as appetising as possible.

wow, i just learned via wikipedia that empanadas originated in Europe. for some reason i thought they were an indigenous Peruvian creation.

i like to imagine that the isopod is really a gentle, sweet lapdog and not the cartoon-evil hellspawn from the murky depths it appears to be.

Yeah, it's actually odd that they don't do the cream-tea-to-takeaway thing, I've certainly seen that in other bakeries.

Cocktail pasties is such a delightful oxymoron, isn't it?

fuck i had no idea you were supposed to chuck the handle

southern softies dolefully chewing away

r|t|c, Wednesday, 3 August 2011 21:05 (twelve years ago) link

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?

i'm sorry for whatever (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 3 August 2011 21:06 (twelve years ago) link

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.

tbh the crust isn't much fun unless you've got brown sauce handy tho

Due to a local colloquialism, swede can be referred to and advertised as turnip whilst in a pasty, but only swede may appear in a pasty.[6]

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).
