We ordered a variety of pasties: the Royale w/ cheese, Shepherd's Pie, Chicken Alfredo and the Reuben.\n\nNow, you may wonder...what the HELL is a pasty? First of all, it's pronounced 'pass-tee', which is a meat pie. Not to be mistaken for 'pace-tee', used to describes a person's pale complexion or those nipplage stickers burlesques dancers use. \n\nIt's the British version of a Spanish empanada. And, IT IS HUGE!! I like huge....food... ;o)\n\nI ended up ordering the Shepherd's Pie. The flaky shell crust hides the meat and potatoes, on the inside. The meat was well seasoned, super yummy and blended well, with the mashed potatoes. I was craving for more, after my first bite. Actually, it was so good, I can still imagine the taste of the pasty, in my mouth. Hello, drool!\n\nA single pasty will cost you about $8. It's enough to fill up a single adult. We didn't get sides, this time around. But, we will next time. And, oh yes, there WILL be a next time!!\n\nThe church pews are a nice touch. The service super friendly and helpful. I got no complaints and I will come here, again. Oh, why don't we have one like this in San Diego?!? Why? Why? WHY?!?\n\nUntil the next time Cornish Pasty Company..... *le sigh*"^^ . "17"^^ . . .
