Carrots are an abomination or something.

Swede or turnip?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:13, Reply)

Most countries call the swede a Yellow Turnip
so both are right I guess. Cornish elders generally call a swede a turnip and vice versa. Something to do with the Radon I think

Swede is an abbreviation of Swedish Turnip (I think)
Edit: It is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutabaga

So if I read this correctly
For a relaxing bath I need turnips and not swede

Do Devon put carrot in a pasty?
Fuck me, I knew they were retarded but fucking hell.
( Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:14, Reply)

Devon not only claimed for a while that they invented it.
But they crimp along the top, which is really fucking wrong. I'd rather watch the Ken Bigley video on repeat than see a top crimped pasty.

Side or GTF?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:13, Reply)

Damn right
Its crimped on the side for a damn good reason.
( Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:14, Reply)

and this is?

Miners could eat them underground with dirty hands.
The crust was to hold, not to eat. They would chuck the crusts down the mine to feed "the knockers" for good luck.

So what difference would it being on top make?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:17, Reply)

when they are crimped on top it doesn't make a handle
just a sort of line.

I like the crusty bit though
*is confused*
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:18, Reply)

Just agree that it should be on the side
And we can stop this ridiculous conversation

*calls the whole thing off*

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:22, Reply)

Didn't bring them a lot of luck.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:17, Reply)

Did back then
Cornwall was one of the richest areas in Europe. When they stopped eating pasties down there things went to shit.
( Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:18, Reply)

So what you're saying is
"There's no earthly reason to care where the damned thing's crimped except if you're a hide-bound traditionalist spastic that still believes in fairies".

Gotcha. Go Devon!

They also taste different
but don't let that bother you
( Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:34, Reply)

I shan't, no bother there.
A pastie's a pastie. I couldn't care less if it has carrots in it, or not.

Not like a french person to be so blasé about food

( Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:39, Reply)

The word pasty is derived from a French word.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:52, Reply)

no one gives a fuck

(PsychoChomp, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:16, Reply)

Well Sporto does because he asked so once again you are wrong on the internet.
and MK is the only place shitter than Devon
( Peej, Tue 28 May 2013, 15:17, Reply)

Gregg's pasties are crimped along the top.
Gregg's are the premier baker in Britain, so it looks like you're wrong. Soz.
