The Tooting Wurzel has been working hard

Sorry these have been sporadic. Sadly work has been getting in the way! Pastywatch continues....


Oggy’s still rates as the best.


Rowe’s are rubbish – minced beef – for those not 'au fait' with pasties it has to be chopped steak!
I also have to dispute Morris’s Pasties claim to be the best pasty (as voted for by the Times and Telegraph) – and it was tasty but a very poor amount of filling – not enough meat (story of my life!). I’m sorry I haven’t got any pictures up yet.

I hasten to add that this is only my humble opinion and no way should be used a benchmark in pasty-tasting.



I was also going to include the links for the companies above, but apparently cornish pasties companies are big into franchises, and as such, the only notable things their websites show is how to get a pasty franchise. But hey - if that's your things there's plenty out there!

I should also explain that they have a delightful version called a ‘cocktail’ pasty. This immediately makes me think of Ferrero Rocher – ‘with these pasties monsieur, you are spoiling uzzzz’ – it is in fact a mini pasty! A scaled down version if you will. I can’t wait to have a party to serve these little treasures. They are fabulous.



I am visiting Truro tomorrow, so if you're really lucky I may have some fresh pasty news.



I am also now a member of the allotment society (membership - humans: 45 collies: 1) and on Saturday I (mostly) planted purple sprouting broccoli, little gem lettuces, broad beans and peas - so I will be including updates on this too - providing the slugs don't get there first.



Before I sign off I thought you might like to see where I sat last weekend, whilst supping a pint of fine Cornish cider:




We were at a lovely pub called the Boathouse, this is the view, and here's the map

As well as doing this I also have to do a professional blog as part of my course, along with a website, so this is why it's taking me so long! I will, of course, add links to them here....
