What's the name of the pasty shop in Hayle on the corner as you go under a umph gert big viaduct? Not been that way for years but they were real beauties.

I've heard many good reports about this place, Gob. There's also a butchers on the main road in Tideford that sells pasties and I keep meaning to stop and grab one.

Never had a pasty from there but it sells the best bacon I have ever bought.

The butcher's on Congreve Gardens, is that Honicknowle?, also sells awesome pasties.

I also had a Pilgrim pasty in the pub that I can't rmember the name of which is run by the old footballer out in Ivybridge. Pilgrim pasties are top notch too.

The Duke of Cornwall, Good boozer!

So the upshot is the only place you can't get a decent pasty is at Home Park, any shop that sells ginsters or outside of the real West Country. Anywhere else in Devon and Cornwall is to be recommended. Perhaps there is an idea for a travel company. You get trips for "little railways" so why not one for "Pasties around the S.West". If people from other parts of the Country realise with education what a real pasty actually is then we could travel further afield and not be so disappointed.

Dang me,you lot know nothing about pasties- four pages of opinion and still no statement that the only real pasty is the giant steak one sold by Ellis bakery in Tavvy.

Actually, there's a proper Cornish pasty shop in Copenhagen, run by an Argyle fan. And another Argyle fan tells me the pasties there are very good indeed.

Did I see correctly that Choughs of Padstow put a dollop of clotted cream in theirs? I was busy drooling over Alex Polizzi.

Peggy, I was trying to suggest some business for the Westcountry Tourist Industry. Denmark can look after itself or sell lots of pasties to people from around here who can afford a holiday there if decently employed as a result of this inititative. I am trying here.

You can buy "proper" pasties from a shop up here in Derby, but then they ask if you want peas or gravy with it!!! I just always bring a big bagful of Ivor's back up everytime I come back down for work!

Gravy! With pasties!

When we moved down here my wife used to want serve pasties with salad! She is now my ex-wife.

I would like to add a supplementary consideration to this thread - do you have your pastie with ketchup or brown sauce? I hope that's not too contentious an issue.

It might not be contentious, but it is nicked off of Danny Baker

That isn't the place down one of the side isles connected to the Westfield Mall is it? It is quite an authentic pasty-type shop, and theirs are very good! Think it's called the 'Cornish Pasty Shop'?

Think I'm getting pasty-obsessive.

That's why Danny Baker has a sausage sandwich as the subject and not pasties. Anyone who has anything other than the pasty completely on it's own is in urgent need of education or counselling or both. Total sacralege.

It's got to be red, surely?

Thats the place, can remember the first time I saw it and got all excited by the proper cornish pasties poster. Dashed in so quick the wife thought I'd found a tenner on the floor. Anyway asked for " a pasty please" and the person behind the till looked at me like I was daft and said what kind? That was me finished with the shop there and then... and besides lamb and mint? in a pasty? sorry that is wrong!!!

and got to agree with sensible no sauce or side dishes with mine please!

I'm wondering when this thread might broach the subject of the cider served at Home Park in the 'refreshment' kiosks. Brewed and bottled in... Birmingham.

Made in Birmingham. The cider. At Home Park.

SORT IT OUT, BRENT!

Not interested in cider. So I don't care what we sell at HP. I just cringe, though, whenever Jock talks about drinking "Thatcher's Gold" - that's too close to that woman for comfort!

Sorry about that. Drink TG as a last resort really, Henry Westons Vintage is now 3 for £5 in Sainsburys so I'm a happy chappy

That would be a Danish pasty then.

Really good pasties from St Stephens Bakery in Plympton, closely followed by Friary Mill.

I'm getting my teeth into this important subject. The Spar ones are sold in a chain of 57 Spar shops owned by Gilletts of Callington. I'm trying to find out who supplies them.

This is actually a very good point. I think Argyle should be selling locally produced products wherever it can. There must be a Westcountry cider maker that could supply us. Why stop there? Pasties are an obvious product to be sourced locally.

It would be easy to action and would nicely fit in with the stated objective of becoming an entrenched part of the community.

It's not just who is supplying them, it's who is buying them that should be in the dock. It takes two to create a monster..... and I don't mean the Watford FA Cup quarter monster.

I just knew he was the right man for the Trust!

No - he imports them from Cornwall.

We sell Cornish Gold (medium sparkling) and Cornish Blush (sweet & pink) ciders in our bar. They're made in Cornwall. We used to sell Weston's organic but decided to go for a small local company. Whether they'd be geared to supply as big an outlet as Argyle I doubt.
