Pads, is it true that they used to put meat at one end of the pasty and custard in the other so that you get your mains and dessert in the one pastry container?

I can't quite believe that but a friend from Cornwall when I was at university assured me that that was what they took down the tin mines to eat!

If that was true, what must it taste like, the bit in the middle that tasted of both savoury meat and sweet custard???!!![:-))]

It was Jam at one end and meat and potatoe at the other, the thick turned crust at the side  was for them to hold them with, as in the tin mines they would come in contact with arsnic., and could not go to wash there hands so they would eat the pasty and chuck the thick crust after eating, , sad that as its my favorite bit [:)]
