Why don't they sell corned beef pasties in England ?

Question

My friend goes to uni in Portsmouth and asked her London friend, and apparently they said "Eurghhh who would want that in a pasty ?"

:O p.s I am Welsh

Answer 1

They do and they are yummy. Gregs the Baker definitely does them.

Answer 2

they do

they did when i lived there

the one place i remeber that sold them was the chain of bakeries Firkins

but as a Scot i found it a peculiar thing to have in pastry and didnt indulge, saw one cut open and decided it looked like dog/baby food

ugh

Answer 3

I live in the North east & plenty of shops & cafes sell them.

Answer 4

Er cos it is quite weird to have corned beef in a pasty?

Answer 5

As advised, they do. Greggs do them. They are a quite tasty and cheap hot snack. However, I must concede that the filling does look strange.  :-)

Answer 6

Pleanty of bakeries do, although aparantly they are less of a Southerner thing and are favoured mroe in the Midlands and the North. I certainly have certainly seen or eaten  them in Stoke, Liverpool, Manchester and Durham/Newcastle.

If you realy want them try asking a few different bakeries, particularly if you can find that rare delight, an independant bakery or a butcher.

Answer 7

They do - try Sainsburys.

Answer 8

try greggs.

Answer 9

They do in Stoke on Trent. Wright's Pie Shops.
