This is a silly question. Pasties are very popular in Michigan's upper peninsula because of the minors coming to work in the copper mines.

So the question is do you eat it with gravy, ketchup, or plain (no gravy/ketchup)? Most here like it with gravy or plain and think ketchup is blasphemy

Plain - but it should be moist enough that it doesn't need sauce. That's the idea of it - a meal you can slip into your pocket.

I usually have a little ketchup on the side to dip the crimped edge in after I’ve had the main bit

As someone who lives in Cornwall,

the correct way a pasty should be simply eaten directly from the bag, as it was invented to be a meal to enjoy quickly on the go without the need for utensils.

Anything else is just plain wrong “Me ‘ansome”

Remember also it’s Jam first….. no debate, to do anything else “makes ee a bleeds emmet”

I normally say people in the UP are weird anyway but that’s another discussion

The Cornish liberation front will have you hung if you have any “sauces” with a pasty

You don’t want to start that debate again … I almost started a war!

P.s… since the cream is the butter substitute.. shouldn’t you spread the cream, the dollop the jam?

People who think it is appropriate to add extra condiments to their pasty should never be left in charge of a pasty.

And a pasty was savoury one end and sweet the other.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong !!!!!

The scone is always served warm so the jam goes on first to stop the cream from melting….

That way the clotted cream can stick to the scone without running off and making a right old mess of your chin. You’ll learn your lesson if you do it the Devon way.

It’s called science…..

Now you know…..

P.S. a vegan filling in a pastry crust is in no shape or form a Cornish pasty

I have Devonshire pasties as they are the original and best. No need to add anything when it's so tease in the first place.

Cornish pasties are poor imitation. So people need to add flavour.

"A true Cornish pasty is a thing of beauty do not defile it"

Meh!

It's just snobbery, a few years ago I did an introduction to whisky tasting course and we learnt about the correct water to whisky ratios and so on...

However I said that surely the way to drink it is how you enjoy it, the guy running course said"exactly"

If I like a pasty with ketchup or brown or even chilli jam then that's how me going to eat it up nom nom NOM !

unless you are buying me said pasty then I'll eat it exactly how I want.

FREEDOM for pasties world wide, pasty solidarity.

On its own when out & about.

Lunch at home with HP sauce.

Tea, with mash & beans.

Definitely don't buy one at a hose motorway service outlet unless very rich.

The Cornish Liberation Front, spitters. The only people we hate more than the Cornish Liberation Front are the Liberation Front of Cornwall.

And what did the Devonshires ever do for us??
