He's not the greatest chef, but I think he deserves a lot of the credit Jamie Oliver is getting in England for turning people on to growing their own food and eating right. He does wonderful "reality" series on BBC4 (unfortunately not available here) to help people get back in touch with what they eat. His philosophy on meat is a good one--he raises his own too!Jeannine from Pittsburghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530097754090425013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-70926572157319167022013-04-18T12:38:06.287-05:002013-04-18T12:38:06.287-05:00Looks like a GREAT meal!

It was apparently invented for coal miners (or maybe tin miners if it's Cornwall) as a way of taking their lunch underground. Reportedly the traditional ones had meat in one half and fruit filling in the other. Isn't that clever? I am sure you could google so much more about the humble pasty but that's what we Brits are told and why would we question the folklore?! Yours look terrific by the way. Pasty shops are ubiquitous in the UK, one chain dominates. You should corner the market in Missouri before they find out!! Bettyhttp://www.bettywestern.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
