Gardengirl Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 We know someone who found his wonderful apartment in Nice through a 'particulier' magazine/paper. His terraces were bigger than the whole of our little apartment!JoPS The pasties sound wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 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???!!![:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pads Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 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 [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
