A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

This is weird. My pasty has almonds on. Dont remember Ivor Dewdny doing that.

It looks like something left in the road after the horses from the local riding school have passed.

Is it too early for some weekend photos...

 

 

 

Not a lot stock wise for use in my late '50s period but this bauxite beauty turned up today.

When did the fruit van arrive Rob? Looks like it has the late 60s markings - all the weights and numbers in a box.

[2ManySpams]

I think this is more in keeping with your BR period:

No idea Chris, just went on Bachmann era 5 from their catalogue.

Not always that reliable these days Rob...

 

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.

[gwrrob]

In other news I've managed to get that photo enlarged.

It reads 'Kingsbridge' - HTH.

[bgman]

Pastys aren't from your side of the water either

Looks like a Welsh effort to make a Real Devon beauty !

Motive power is provided by a BR Standard class 3MT 82006.

Some nicely restrained weathering there Rob

That's right we have Oggies.

[Fat Controller]

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.

I had empanadas in the 80s, made by Nicaraguan refugees from the Contra war. They definitely had chilli in.

The original must have been a very sharp picture.

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.

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!

"Have you had the empanadas?"

 

"No, I always walk this way."

Maybe because I'm an old romantic but as we have someone on here that follows the possible PL champions this weekend.I'm offering him a chance to choose anything photo wise Sunday if they do it at Old Trafford.

 

Over to you David (Cary Hill)

Back to the branch and a sunny morning sees Bert Grump meet 82006 with the token.

 

 

 

Plenty of trees from the usual sources.

 

 

 

Would /should the BR toad have been lamped like my GW versions.

[Trains&armour]

I like the new van!
