I'm not Gemma, but I like 'em. If you're ever in Mexico City you should try one too. Apparently, a lot of English silver miners from Cornwall came over to Real del Monte in Mexico, and brought along pasties (pastes in Spanish). It's now a traditional food in some areas of central Mexico.

have fun!
 

Have a great vacation, Gemma! I've never been to London.

:)

I love Cornish pasties and all kinds of meat pies, but you should see the way my eldest son wolves them down...
Marsopa, if you ever have the chance, do go to England, it's worth it.

Maria,
Avoid Mrs. Lovett's meat pies by all means. But if you have no other choice, select mushroom leek.

I am really surprised that Cornish pasties are available in Mexico City! Is
there a specific neighborhood?

Why, Poli?

Have you seen the movie Sweeney Todd?:eek:
If you haven't, here's a synopsis. Sweeney is a London barber who cuts his customers throats Mrs Lovett, his landlady, owns a meat pie shop, and uses the murder victums to stuff her empanadas.
If you haven't seen it, I hope this doesn't dicourage you from viewing it. Dispite the gore, it's a wonderful adaption of the Broadway musical.

I haven't seen it, and even though I love Johnny Depp I think I never will...:yuck:

Thanks, Poli, for reveal your real name.

Have a good day.

What's his real name?

You must have missed it in the may little threads today. My name is David, but for reasons that should be obvious to any of us in this forum,
I chose a pseudonym.
All the best

Nice name. When my little one was born we were not sure whether to call him David or Pablo. He ended up being Pablo, but I like your name too. Why did you choose Poli as your alias?

Poli, is a nick name very curious, in really, before I tought you was women, 'cause your nick name is seems to a name of a girl here in my country that types of nick name mainly the girl used them, well, anyway your nick name is nice, in really my nick name like seems a nick name of a girl but is nice, al leats, I like my own nick name.

Regards.

They're all over the place. You can find a good shop inside the northern bus station (la Central del Norte), near Indios Verdes.

I think that's a great name! ¿Porqué será? :thinking:

Not to mention the fact that another member did choose to use David as his username. He hasn't been around for awhile, though.

Conozco la Cental del Norte. Es moderna y limpia. En Inglaterra tambien se encuenta tiendas que venden pasties en estaciones de trenes. Creo que es un surcursal. No obstante su producto es mejor que la mayoeria de la chatarra que se vende en centrales de buses o trenes

El lugar que vende pastes en la Central del Norte sí es una franquicia pero son buenos los pastes. Si quieres pastes aún más auténticos, debes ir a Pachuca o a Real del Monte.

Son una comida similar a las empanadas que proviene de Cornwall, Inglaterra y por los migrantes ingleses, llegaron también a México. Cuando vayas al DF o al Estado de Hidalgo, los debes probar. Son una delicia. :thumbsup:
