RMweb Gold 81C Posted April 29, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2016 This is weird. My pasty has almonds on. Dont remember Ivor Dewdny doing that. 20160429_100653.jpg It looks like something left in the road after the horses from the local riding school have passed.

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted April 29, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 29, 2016 When did the fruit van arrive Rob? Looks like it has the late 60s markings - all the weights and numbers in a box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general for your 1957(?) period stay away from the wagons that have all the details within a white-edged box. Mind you such a mistake is more expensive in a larger scale....Ooops.

Fat Controller Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 That's right we have Oggies. If you go far enough west, to Latin America, you'll encounter something called 'empenadas'. They're a mixture of meat and potatoes in a crimped pastry case, though they tend to have chilli instead of white pepper. It's said they were exported to the area by Cornish tin-miners, who went to open up mines in Chile, Bolivia, Argentina and elsewhere. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozexpatriate Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) If you go far enough west, to Latin America, you'll encounter something called 'empenadas'. They're a mixture of meat and potatoes in a crimped pastry case, though they tend to have chilli instead of white pepper.

I had empanadas in the 80s, made by Nicaraguan refugees from the Contra war. They definitely had chilli in. Wikipedia has this to say on the origins of empanadas: Empanadas trace back their origins to Portugal, and the northwest region of Spain, called Galicia, (Spain). They first appeared in Portugal around the time of the establishment of trade routes to India and the establishment of a Portuguese Colony at Goa, and believed to have been derived or influenced by the Indian Gujia or Samosa, known in Lisbon as the Chamuça da Goa. They first appeared in medieval Iberia during the time of the Moorish invasions. A cookbook published in Catalan in 1520, Libre del Coch by Ruperto de Nola, mentions empanadas filled with seafood in the recipes for Catalan, Italian, French, and Arabian food.The Cornish story sounds a bit apocryphal. Versions made with masa are very good too. Of course Wikipedia also says this on the pasty page: "The pasty is now popular world-wide due to the spread of Cornish miners, and variations can be found in Australia, the United States, Argentina, Mexico, Ulster and elsewhere." The references to other dishes comprised of meats encased in folded dough were interesting. Edited April 29, 2016 by Ozexpatriate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianusa Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 The best pasties were made by your mother especially if 'er were Cornish! None of this foreign stuff! Amazing how we check out this thread to look at train pictures and end up with pasties! Brian. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
