From Cornwall to Canaries....

[redswanlady]

Just to let you all know there is a Cornish Pasty Shop opening in Puerto Rico soon..... The Pasties are being imported from St Ives in Cornwall so, yes they are "proper" Cornish Pasties. The shop is also going to sell a variety of other bakery goods to tempt you all.

Will keep you posted for that opening date........

[BIG TONY]

Several years ago I saw a sign in a shop window in the C.Centre saying:-
"We sell Peters Pies" Personally I'm glad to get away from the crap British diet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[big jim]

wish you all the best and save me a cornbeef pasty 4 when we move over

[shirley]

My man only asked me today, this new pasty shop? does the lady come from cornwall, will they be proper cornish pastys? Well now ive just told him, ALL THE BEST: shirley

[big craig]

i wish you all the best and hopefully you will be open by sept.i remeber a wee british baker that used to be down behind the highlander bar,and i used to love that wee shop b4 it shut.so i hope everything goes ok for you.maybe a few of the bar owners on here might give you some custom??

[mary]

I dont think i ever had a proper cornish pasty in the uk so i can wait to try these. I understand that there are loads of dfferent flavours and not just beef and veg


Good luck red swan

[redswanlady]

To LYNNE100

Funny thing, that your canarian man likes english food, We have friends a couple, She english he canarian, and he loves corned beef hash,roast beef dinners and so on.I suppose its like we were in england, eating chinese, indian etc.

[redswanlady]

The location will be revealed soon..... we hope to appeal to the Spanish as well as the Brits, Welsh, Irish etc etc residents and visitors alike.

[redswanlady]

Thanks Libbyo, we hope so...

[redswanlady]

Pasties have arrived, electricity is on HOORAY!! Opening is in our sights....

[shirley]

REALLY! GOODLUCK REDSWANLADY; It takes guts to open up a business in a foreign country, especialy catering for the people from your homeland, but it is what the tourists want here, and us expats as well.
See you soon for some REAL CORNISH PASTIES for my better half, and as ill try anything once, I will be sampling some of the mystery ones.:boozy: :wub:

[karen0603]

[simmo]

We will be over there next Thursday , So we will be trying them , It's years since I have had a real cornish pasty.

[shirley]

Redswanlady, Please put me down on your order, for 1 medium sized xmas cake.

[redswanlady]

We have Large, med & Sml Steak, Beef Madras, Cheese & bacon, Lamb & Mint, Breakfast, Veg, Spicy Chicken, Apple and Sausage rolls.

Something for everyone, also do beach packs for those on the way to Amardores, and will be doing quiches in the near future and mincepies on the run up to xmas.

[MacTaliy]

Got your leaflet the other day, good luck with your venture, RSL

[redswanlady]

Sorry I missed you MacTaliy, hope to see you soon, (remember we will deliver to you so you haven't even got to come down the hill!!)

[mary]

Well Ma Bakers is now open.

I have just finished off my sausage roll and Dr paul and i shared a small meat pasty. Absolutely delicious. Proper sausage rolls in lovely flaky pastry.
Unfortunately i now feel i've got to work my way through all the flavours - just in the name of research, you understand.

Good luck Redswan

Do we have weight watchers here yet, because i think i might need some help in a few weeks

[crazimum]

You won't need weight watchers Mary, Just nip down and pick your pastys up and walk back up throu Rico, I'm sure that exercise would make the pasty worth while without the worries!

[redswanlady]

Glad you liked your lunch mary, and thanks for all the support we have been getting from members on here, had a few of you up to sample the pasties.
