Pasty Number 4

We went to Liskeard today and I did some research so picked this recommended baker.
I wasn't disappointed.
Filling
Fine to very good. Minus for Veg in cubes and all though seasoning was good not quite strong enough
4/5
Casing
Splendid. Slight lamination but not flaky.
2.5/3
Presentation
Not bad baked on premises.
Only £2 for big pasty
Excellent gingham paper bag
1.5/2
Total 8/10
Rest of day spent deep in antiquity and geology.
The Trevathy Quoit vs Cheesewring
humans vs nature.
Nature wins
Unfeasibly large slabs of granite balanced in a threatening manner.
I was scared.

How exciting, another 8/10 savoury! You must be delighted. But will it be bettered? Time is running out for piefari. As a point of interest, have you ever come across a 10/10 antwhere on your travels? Today, I am playing at a wedding, so it will be yet another buffet from hell. I'm going to take a nice corned beef sandwich instead.

The perfect pasty is yet to be found.
I suspect it will never get graded.
Allah makes perfect stuff not us humans.
Anyone remember Nadia Comaneci?
No I didn't either.
But her perfect score surely made all subsequent gymnastics pointless.
Best pie I ever had was a Scotch pie from the grocers in Durness.
9.5/10
(you have to go there to find out why)
