why would they only offer delivery for the meat varieties?

feel like somewhere in the vicinity of Port Vale somebody is opening a doomed gourmet oatcake shop as we speak

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?

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.

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]

pasty wiki has been thoroughly illuminating and will enrich my weekly reduced ginsters from tesco after football experience no end

Ginsters are only actual Cornish Pasties on a technicality.

I wonder if they'd send a box of pasties to canada.

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).
