| - OK, the first thing you need to know is that Teddy's Pasties bear no resemblance to the Pasties you will get in England.
Having said that, he does do a damn good job of trying. The problem I think starts with the size of the bloody things. A half pasty should not be an option, it is a meal in and of itself. Teddy's are HUGE.
The pastry was a nice short crust, the taste was great, the texture was where it let itself down. It had an overly processed texture (too long in the food processor), where in England you find a more hand cut texture to the veggies, can visually see the veggies (Carrots, Turnips, Potatoes, Onions, et al) and because of the size difference you can pick out those individual flavours.
When you bite into Teddy's it just looks like a slab of meat.
In summary:
Take the half option
Enjoy the taste ( I did add pepper to mine, personal taste)
Do not expect it to look like a Pasty bought in England
Finally, just enjoy a damn good meal for a great price
BTW.
I bought a full Steak Pasty as I thought I was hungry at the time. I ate almost half for lunch and brought the rest back to Colorado that evening for tomorrows lunch. Seriously, that's how big they are!
