Curried vegetable & cheese, onion and chive pasties


It seems I have a bug. Friday being a day of high expense, we needed a solution to Saturday. "I'm going to make two types of pasty to take to the jazz festival" I proclaimed. Now I feel like pasties can conquer the World. They must be one of the most convenient non-convenience foods there are. In days of old in England, you can see why they were the ultimate portable food to take to the fields or the pit. Virtually any filling can be used, but never deviate from the traditional when in Cornwall. No chicken curry or chili con carne allowed. You will be met with deadly stares if you suggest a pasty should be anything other than the hallowed version traditional in that area. it is so revered, in fact, it has 'Protected Geographical Indication', similar to Champagne. The Cornish Pasty is indeed the finest you will find.

So I don't have my mum and dad's baking gene....


Before retirement a few years ago, my Mum and Dad had their own successful bakery and shop. My dad baked and my mum worked as shop keeper. My dad's bread was legendary, people would come from far and wide to buy a loaf.
