| - I asked my daughter where she wanted to go and have dinner. She texted me back, "Cornish Pasty". I thought that she had dropped the "r" in Pasty. I, not being of supreme intelligence, thought it was "Pastry". So, I Googled, "Cornish Pastry". The search result returned "Cornish Pasty". Still, in my supreme intellect, I thought, oh they dropped the "r" in Pasty. I clicked on the link to their site and then I realized that I, again, had been fooled by my supreme intelligence and in fact, the correct spelling was "Pasty".
Now, on to the hard part. I still hadn't had my V8 moment because I didn't know that a "Pasty" was a culinary item. As I began to search the menu online, I thought to myself ( I would have thought to someone else, but no one was around) "Hey, wait a second......Pasties are a dish!!!". But, now having seen the fare (albeit electronically), I knew I would love this food.
As with previous reviews the place is narrow and small. But, what they lack in structure, they make up for in ambiance, knowledge and service. I ordered the Bangers & Mash and my daughter ordered the Eggplant Parmesan. All I can say is WOW. The pasties were excellent. And, for dessert we ordered the Chocolate Bread and Butter pudding with creme anglaise. One of the best desserts I have ever had. I have truly expanded my culinary palette.
