syd barrett Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 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? Photo: An Example of a 'Yorkies'Cornish Pasty'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo: An Example of a 'Yorkies'Cornish Pasty'. 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 ?

Jingthing Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) 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 ... http://www.ace-cafe-thailand.com/Map.html To be clear I am suggesting a business called Fresh Baked, not Ace Cafe.

QED Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 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.

yogi100 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 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.

Gawd knows how they tasted in the middle. 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: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Home-Pie-Nee...57#entry2947457 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longball53098 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 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.

T_Dog Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Are American pasties better than British ones? 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.

Check this site out: 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 History on its side.) (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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
