Cornish Pasties In Pattaya

[syd barrett]

I have been buying my 'Yorkies' Cornish Pasties from Friendship Supermarket. At 79 Baht they represent reasonable value for money because they are large and filling, but I feel that they lack proper seasoning (salt/pepper/herbs/spices).

Can anyone recommend an alternative Cornish Pasty in Pattaya?

I,d be willing to do several hard days labour to get my hands on a pasty like that here in Korat.

Ohh Mrs.

Have you tried Simple Simons in Jomtien ?

Try Fresh Baked in Jomtien.

To find, go to Ace Cafe from Thapraya (near the Hanuman Statue) and turn left down the road towards View Talay Residences. Its in the strip mall immediately on your right ...

To be clear I am suggesting a business called Fresh Baked, not Ace Cafe.

Palmers aren't half bad.

Wish you all the best on that quest Syd, i have tried all the Cornish Pasties i have come across in Pattaya over the years and still come back to the Yorkies variety, packed full of filling like none other, and i like the pastry.

[QED]

Sorry but as a Cornishman I have to inform you that you will not find a good pasty in Pattaya. I have searched for one for the last 4 years, to no avail.

I am currently in negotiations with Ivor Dewdney for distribution rights in Asia, I will let you know how it pans out.

Old Plymouth Argyle joke - they have a new keeper, Ivor Dewdney, you won't get nothing past he (pasty in Janner dialect)

Could you tell us where exactly the rendavous (rendezvous?) bar is? If there is a proper cornishman making proper pasties I need to check it out. Can you buy them uncooked to take home as well?

Hungry now

[canopus1969]

The best so far - including Yorkies and the rest - is Mr Moo's next to Big C - South Pattaya

No only for the 2 of us

I am from London but we eat Cornish Pasties. I've had a couple from the mobile bakery which plies its trade round the streets and they were very passable indeed. At 90 baht they were not cheap but well filled and tasty.

[pattaya_girl]

This thread is making me very hungry.

I love Cornish Pasties.

[moo9]

I would be more than happy if somebody could explain me what Cornish Pasties are! Can Middle Europeans eat it?

[Humphrey Bear]

Big pastry envelope, filled with cooked veg and the occasional bit of meat

Legend has it that the were taken down the Cornish tin mines by the Conish miners - complete meal - meat and veg at one end - dessert at the other.

Gawd knows how they tasted in the middle.

Interesting how Cornish Pasties are the subject of discussion. This was in the Plymouth Herald newspaper

Legend is right! Then Cornish migrated to the USA and especially the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where their mining skills were needed. They started sharing their lunch pasties with the locals, many of which were Finns. These Copper Country Finns took off with the recipe and today you can find numerous little pasty stalls where you can drive up and buy a pasties.

Here's a link to a recipe I posted last week on another thread:

My heritage is from the UP of Michigan and my mother made the best pasties anywhere. But I guess that's a prejudiced view. Her pasties were as big as a large dinner plate and had plenty of potato, beef (not ground beef) and onion and rutabaga(a turnip) When she was a young girl she made them for the copper miners in the family and boarding house to take in the lunch pail down the mine. They would stay warm until lunch time.

I really miss those tasty pasties and talking about them makes the mouth water. I have had Yorkies and just not the same.

LongBall.... I was born in Ontonagon. Right now we are negotiating on a new rental home that has an oven up here in CM. My mouth is watering about having the first pasty fest in the new kitchen! Nothing like them.....

[Ulysses G.]

Are American pasties better than British ones?

[pattaya_girl]

Right - Next time I take a trip back home, I am going to bring some back with me and put them in the freezer. Yummy

[T_Dog]

Had a Cornish pasty in a pub in London once and it was fantastic. The bartender said it was his own recipe though, so who knows if it was a genuine British pasty. I love the Copper Country pasties.... hard to improve on them. I think the calorie count is in the thousands with about 50 grams of fat though.... not the healthiest food unless you need a lot of energy to move rock.

I'm from St. Austell. Do you know what the owner is called?

Always makes me laugh when i go into the Londoner in Bangkok as they have a sign on the wall advertising 'traditional Cornish pasties' made with lamb!!!!

Hey my family all were born in Calumet. Most worked for C & H mining back in their hayday. Mom made pasties for all the workmen in the house to take down the mines for lunch.

I was the only one in our family not born there as the family left during the depression years to make it in Milwaukee. But I was in Calumet most summers all my young life.

Pasties

Wow, small world! Calumet is the center of Copper Country pasties. The guy that put our first TV in had a shop up there, ham radio operator, cross country skier.... Trying to remember the name. I went to "Tech" so I spent a bit of time in Calumet. Here's a couple of videos on pasties.

(Pasty comparison)

So you can find pasties in the UK, in Pattaya, in the Copper Country, and in places in the west where there are mines like Butte Montana and Kellogg Idaho.

Talking with a Brit friend he tells me the true Cornish pasty is made in such a way that about two thirds of it is the meat and potato and last last third or quarter will be a dessert like apple or cherry filling.

I think he was pulling your leg, I have lived in the UK all my life and have never come across a CP with fruit in it.

Many many years ago that's how they used to make them for the miners, a complete meal with a big crust down the middle to hold with your dirty hands and discard afterwards. Pretty clever really.

These days you won't find them like that though, but many small bakeries will do fruit pasties.
