Cornish pasty bakeries
Oct. 20th, 2019 02:14 pmLast summer I had mentioned finding decent Cornish pasties from Annandale Water motorway services up here in Scotland. In visiting Cornwall last week I made sure to eat more Cornish pasties (steak and vegetables enclosed in pastry). The requirements are quite particular so many pasties sold as traditional seem inauthentic to me. Once a BBC cookery show featured a recipe for a non-traditional pasty and BBC Radio Cornwall was amusingly full of indignant callers the following afternoon.
After school when I used to wait to head home from Truro by public transport there was a branch of Rowe's bakery near the bus station from which I was in the habit of eating a takeout pasty while waiting for the bus. Occasionally I see Rowe's pasties also turn up in Asda here in Scotland. While I do like their pasties, on this latest visit I found the long-established Warren's bakery pasties to be preferable and on our way back out of the West Country was happy to stumble upon another branch of Warren's in the Cullompton services on the M5.
