Half way through Peter Kay's book, 'TV, Big Adventures On The Small Screen', on audible, and, although he goes over some old ground ,it's still very funny.
His description of his visit to Bernard Manning, to see if he was a possible Den Perry, is hilarious.

Yes. Although as he says himself, wait until it's in the 99p bargain bucket.karlypants wrote:

It's on a barm, and it has to be Carrs. I demand no others.Norpig wrote:That's not a Carrs pasty is it?

I had a couple of carrs pasties at lunch with a whist pie.
The whist pie was very salty (this maybe due to not eating salt since my stroke) and a meat and potato along with a cheese, onion and potato pasty.
I have to say that I felt rather disappointed.
The pastry of the pasties were different than usual which weren’t very good.
Greenhalgh’s flaky cheese and onion much nicer with their soggy yummy pastry.
The whist pie I feel is far tastier from the ye olde pasty shop.

I have to buy them frozen. The nearest place that stocks them fresh is Leigh. If I'm in Walkden I can always get a few from Piggy In The Middle on Bolton Road, but I'm not often up there these days.karlypants wrote:I had a couple of carrs pasties at lunch with a whist pie.

Pastry is different these days, but to a man denied them in the wilds of Warrington, they're heaven on earth.

Why change something that was good? I just don’t get it.
When we went to family gatherings, there was always a couple of trays of Carrs cheese and onion and meat and potato and they were lovely.
I think I’m better off sticking to the ye olde pasty shop then as they haven’t changed their pastry and don’t look like ever doing.

You mean flour cake of course!
And before you even start to argue this is what John Carr, of Carr's pasties says, and he should know...
John Carr, at Carrs Pasties, said: 'Back in my day we called them flour cakes, but nowadays the most popular term around Bolton and parts of the North West is barm cake.'
ANY northerner knows a barm's a barm... except for Bolton-based Warburtons

This has stirred a memory. Mum always wrote out a shopping list on a Friday night, in preparation for her Saturday shopping trip.
Every list started with the same two items. Bleach and flour cakes.
Even now, bleach looms large. She just can't get enough of it.
