For some reason I have never liked Cornish pasties.
I have tried them again periodically to make sure I still feel that way, but in the scotch egg/pork pie/sausage roll etc domain that is the natural habitat of the pasty, I find they hold the least appeal. There’s nothing in them I don’t like, so I think it might just the proportions of the ingredients. I have tried so-called top end ones too, I am not basing my aversion wholly on the likes of Ginsters…

More exciting news and views coming up soon. This is fucking internet PLATINUM.

so-called top end ones are invariably shit in my experience
best pasty I've had comes from the hot counter at my local Sainsburys.

don't bother with any of this award-winning bollocks.

I think this weekend might be the time for me to make some Scotch Onions

Onion, covered in sausage meat and breadcrumbs?
Just a guess.

I came up with the idea years ago
and have never done it.

I'm not a fan of hard-boiled eggs, so I thought that I'd make a scotch egg, but with onion in the middle. I intend to try one variety whereby I roast a some shallots, then wrap them in sausagemeat and breadcrumb and then roast again, and one which uses a pickled onion, wrapped in sausagemeat and then roasted.

Cornish Pasties are vile because of the swede.

I'm now doing that thing of supressing audible laughter, but failing to stop my shoulders from undulating with mirth.
