What's Tasty In Your Neck Of The Woods? March 19, 2017, 02:48:45 pm Well for now the weather in So Cal has been warming up so taking a short walk or drive to a local eatery is very doable.Today, like almost every Sunday, I find myself sitting around the shop staying out of trouble. Feeling a bit peckish, I took the short walk to the Pasty Pie Kitchen on Katella in Los Alamitos for one of my very favorite quick and easy delights. A small Beef Pasty Pie.An old school English meat pie wrapped in a delicate and delicious pastry shell. Ahhh...the wonder and simplicity of it all. Tender, and full of flavor. The pies are made freshly every day right before your eyes. The beef carved from the bone and mixed with carrots and potatoes the baked in the oven ready when you are. No waiting. Fresh, hot and delicious. There must be something that makes your mouth water. Some local cuisine you long for. Vegetarian splendor. Fruit filled delight? Perhaps a meal you only had once and long to repeat. This is my all time fall back. Beef or Chicken makes no difference it's all good. Open 7 days a week. Just waiting to please. Mmmm...that was delicious.Kent 2 Likes

They go a long way back... popular with Cornish Miners in the late 1600s like my ancestors. During the '49er rush here in Calif. miners from everywhere settled in towns like Grass Valley and the hunger for Pasties came with them. Even today there are Pasty Shops up in the gold country still making them for sale. 1 Likes

Re: What's Tasty In Your Neck Of The Woods? Reply #5 – April 12, 2017, 08:30:40 pm There is a recent arrival in Long Beach, CA called Steel Craft on Long Beach Blvd. It's a group of Steel Cargo containers each catering to one basic food item. Burgers, Waffles, Ramin, Pizza, Shaved Ice and Coffee. The burgers are wonderful. Try one of the several choices with a fried egg. My daughter loves the Ramin and all they have to offer.What's on your dinner menu?Kent
