Right, last week I went to the Pasty shop in Tavistock. Nice place, nice waitresses
I felt like going the whole hog (excuse the pun) and having a sit down meal. I went in, found a nice little table where I was served by a (admittedly not one of the nicer ones) waitress. I ordered the GIANT Steak Pasty, feeling a bit conservative.
When It arrived I had two thoughts. 1) This plate is quite small:huh: and 2) This doesn't really seem like a giant Pasty to me. Nevertheless I ploughed into it.
My first big decision was where to start. Up close it was very big, and not accustomed to eating a pasty with a Knife and Fork, was pretty flummoxed. I took an end off it, and ate it. It was perhaps some of the best pastry I have ever eaten. It was almost literally melt in your mouth, Golden and Buttery.
As I moved into the middle of the Pasty, After the fine start I was distinctly underwhelmed by the quality of the meat. It was slightly tough, and hard, which is not what's needed in a pasty. The vegetables in it were of an acceptable standard, and of a desirable texture.
By the time I had got 3/4 of the way through, I had realised I had had enough. It was a desperate situation, what was I to do? Cut my losses and leave the Pasty, or battle on and force that Pastry down my throaght. In the end I opted for the Latter, and was not dissapointed,the Pasty was so good
On the Pasty scale I will give it an 8/10. The Pastry was heavenly, but it was slightly let down by its filling.
I didn't over do it did I?
