Nasty Pasty

This subject cought my eye over on yahoo Answers “I’ve accidentally eaten a Ginsters pasty- who should I phone?” and following a chance mid morning snack down G'Exeter Quayside I felt compelled to ask my own - Can you get worse than Ginsters?

Quayside - Mid Morning??

The Londis shop at the Quayside happens to be one of the four Homebrew Stockist in the whole of the South West. It is also one of the few places that you can buy Tartaric or Citric Acid over the counter so after the fourth time the work computers didn't I took off to make my purchase.

Whats the Crack??

The Assistant in Boots "dear" told me that they no longer sell it at the pharmacy as it could be used to cook up crack - hmm but its still on sale online and at homebreww shops...

Tartaric or Citric Acid is used to heighten tang and help preserve country brews such as elderflower champagne and cordials thus necessitating the trip to Londis.

I remarked to the store manager how the site of rows of homebrew kits took me back to my own brewing days and thought aloud that I should check my bins and barrels to see if they were stil fit for purpose. The helpful chat made a smart gesture and bunged me a tub of sterilising solution powder to spruce up the old equipment in the hope that I'll return and become a regular customer.

In recognition of this gesture I stopped by the Bake & Bite counter at the other end of the Londis shop and got a made to order green Thai Chicken salad baguetter along with a medium Cornish Pasty from the Hot Counter.

Maybe it was just too early and or too hot but I sat facing an audience of mallards, swans and pigeons and munched away. I am sad to report that it was a greasy guey blobby nasty pasty.

Munch on!
