As a coeliac, I can’t eat pasties and most takeaway food, so the pasty-tax was for me creating a level playing field in taxation.
It just shows how the country wants to eat themselves to hell and then travel there in a dump truck.

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Pasties are like all food, okay in moderation. DS do a Cornish Slice which I enjoy perhaps 2 or 3 times a year. Even before coeliac, I didnt eat a great deal of pastry

Traditional Cornish Pasties, were brought to Oz, for the same reason as in Cornwell . . .
The Ideal Miners Meal, for use in an underground “Crib Room”; where miners sat at meal breaks. Drinking Hot black sweet tea, playing cards {Cribbage, hence name of Meal Room} and using the Heavy Pastry Handle curled over the top, to pull apart & enjoy the Vegetables. Only eating the bottom half of the thin pastry, holding the veggies.
The top heavy pastry is thrown away: to stop Cornish Miners, from eating the Heavy Metal slush, from the hands & the dust in the Tin & Copper mines. Protection from unhealthy heavy metals.
So to truly enjoy a traditional cornish pastie . . . throw the top thick pastry away, and enjoy.

It’s a long time since I’ve played cribbage.
