    Traditional pasties also used to have pastry so tough that they could safely be dropped down a mineshaft and not break! Sometimes jam up one end too for dessert.

  • I made Cornish pasties on Saturday out of the Be-Ro cook book. Very nice.

    can you still buy the Be-Ro cookbook? I've never had one before are they worth buying?

  • Didn't traditional Cornish pasties have meat and veg at one end, fruit and custard at the other, and a thick crust to hold it by and discard so that the tin miners didn't poison themselves? And hasn't the food safety executive thingy banned this?

    Just to let you all know the pasty recipes were delicious!

    Have worked my way through all the recipes now :D

    And also send off for the be-ro cookbook, received it today what a brilliant book :T
    when I think of all the money I've spent on cookery books in the past I would only have needed this one!

    thanks spendaholic & squeaky for bringing it to my attention!

    You're welcome :) I think it's about time I started charging Be-ro a commission!
