    I though it has some apple in the end as a dessert, and the crust goes in the bin as it's a handle.

    A meal for real men, C. AW should feed his pansies proper Cornish pasties to harden 'em up imo.
    When I was young and full of rage
    I hated Tottenham to the core
    But now I've reached a gentler age
    I hate the fùckers even more.

    I once made one myself with all the traditional ingredients. Lard pastry, skirt steak, the lot. Made lovingly and, when I ate it, it just tasted like a Cornish Pasty. The only saving grace is to season it properly and go particularly heavy on the pepper. Ketchup was still necessary to give the thing some flavour.

    I can imagine.

    I'm going to have a go at a pork pie this weekend. I've never done the hot lard pastry thing.

    Stick to your poncy crap then. My dad ate a Cornish pasty for breakfast, lunch, tea and supper and lived til he was 102

    Now a pork pie is a different beast altogether. Again, not much to it in terms of ingredients, but infinitely better than a Cornish Pasty. English mustard is a necessity with a pork pie, though, imvho.

    It speaks volumes that apparently the South Americans evolved the empanada from Cornish miners who went over there, but with a little imagination and some flexibility on flavouring, they managed to turn it from a stodgy lump into a delicious and delicate treat.

    I agree that they appear to need something; I'm just not convinced the The World's Blandest Food Product is the thing.

    If I had to eat one every day, I'd pray for an early grave
