West Cornwall Pasty Company

Another delicious thing that we discovered in the UK was the pasty (pronounced pass-tee). Many of the Tube stations include locations of the West Cornwall Pasty Company. I think that a pasty is the same thing as what was once called a "hand pie." It's a pastry folded up with meat, vegetables, etc., on the inside. My favorite was the apple and pork version. Delicious.

Is that like Sweeney Todd? Remember that play?

Now in America we call it a hot pocket. Right? Just kidding. I think those are probably a million times tastier. Also, thanks for the clarification - I kept thinking it was pronounced "paste-y."

Did you go to Sweeney Todd? Scary!

Hot pockets need help - not even close. Yes, the pronunciation could get a little awkward...
