 I'm a pasty connoisseur mate and I'm telling you Ginsters is for Gimps! I shall defend Plymouth's honour on this occasion as I'm rather partial to an Ivor Dewdney myself. But which Ivor? I'm baffled as to why the Ivor Dewdney business in Plymouth - which has a branch in Newton Abbot - appears separate from the business on Sidwell Street in Exeter trading under the same name. There's also Ron Dewdney trading in Stoke in Plymouth. Has there been a bloody family war amongst the pasty-making Dewdneys? As for Gingsters, mass-produced from an industrial complex in Callington! Name of Callington Town's ground, anyone? |

I'm sorry guys but I like Gingsters pasties.
I took Ivor Dewdney pasties, clotted cream and scones back to the RAF when I was in basic training at RAF Swinderby. we all had to bring local produce back for a feast. mine was the favourite!!
The pasties here in Wales are crap. they are corned beef and potatoe mushed up and squirted into a lump of pastry.

I can't remember for now what happened but there was a split as you say, mind you Ivor Dewdney in Plymouth got prosecuted many years ago for dirty kitchens full of those mouse droppings.
Gingsters are not teddy oggies mate, they are the worst tasting things claiming to be pasties, the factory needs blowing up.

Barnecutt's Liskeard for me.
The West Cornwall Pasty Company one's "up country" are alright. The only other option up here are Ginsters, which, I agree, are very poor.
Nice bit 'o skirt. That's the key.

I read last year that there is a power generating unit in Holsworthy (combining threads!!) which was producing power from farm waste but had recently switched to using Gingsters waste pasties and sausage rolls which produce more power per ton of waste. |

At the risk of upsetting the PC (Pasty correctness)brigade on Mothers Day, it's no surprise to learn that Ginsters' method of saving the planet involves using the disgusting contents of their product. I would venture that the very best pasties are those to be found in the market towns of the south West and those at Liskeard are indeed superb. Mass produced rubbish is indeed mass produced rubbish - after all one wouldn't expect to compare a McDonalds with a Gordon Ramsey would one' As for "Dewdneys" I always reckoned them to be an Exeter product and regarding Plymouth ~ I'm trying to be nice to them (honestly I am  ) but that idiot Gordon Sparks with his "Aaaaaaaaaaaargyle aaaaaaaccent" isn't exactly the best advert for such a "city" of culture is it? Unfortunately up here in "Sophisticate City" the best pasties I have found are in The Danish Patisserie ~ corner of Munster Road/Filmer Road, Fulham SW6, The Beigel House (opposite the Police Station) Stoke Newington Road N16 and those sold by the vendors on the racecourses of the South East, although they contain steak and as Rob so rightly points out; the authentic meat content is indeed a nice bit of skirt. Personally, I'd accept steak as long as it's served by a "nice bit of skirt"!Also, I always prefer the pasty eaten (as it was intended) - cold. Usually they implode when heated up which is at least an improvement on a meat pie I purchased at Scunthorpe once which exploded spewing out red hot gravy (and what numpty would put gravy ina pasty?)on making a hole in the top so hot was it. Timbo would have enjoyed that! ;D

You just could not let the chance go by merse, to have just another dig at Devon and its people, how funny that you feel you can call me a sad little man, when you surely have that title well and truly won.
Gordon Sparks speaks with a local accent, one that is still found in Devon and its the people who have always lived here, who will retain it
Its the same all over the country, Bristol has its own accent as does Liverpool and Sunderland, one is not better than any others, just is best described as regional.
You do make me laugh, you go on about the "Sophisticate City" yet most people would think of the cockney accent when they thought about London. Lets be fair here, it sounds very common and not really fitting in such a Sophisticate City" but then that would not matter to you, your only pleasure it seems comes from trying to rubbish everything that is a part of Devon, yet you still want to support a Devon football team.
The very best pasties will be found in many small town bakeries, Okehampton has a great shop as does Bideford, I have driven past the one in Bideford for six years twice a week, I stopped and bought one from there at last two weeks ago and boy was it a good pastie.
So many that I have tried from so called pastie shops that have opened in Torbay, have all the meat on one side and the potato on the other side, they claim its the way Cornish pasties are meant to be made. I hate them like this and they soon end up in the nearest street bin I can find.
