Pasty/Bridie

[Minnie18]

Can any kind Dibber fix this for us? 🤞

Is a pasty and Bridie the same thing or different things? 🤷

Also is there a fish called a Bridie? 🤷

Thanks Dibbers, hope you have all had a lovely day 😊

I don’t think they are the same thing. I see a pasty as a Cornish Pasty. I would expect it to have some beef, potato and veggies in it I think. And more of a shortcrust pastry.
A bridie is ( from faint childhood memories) a Forfar Bridie and I would see it as more puff/ flaky pastry and just some sort of meat and maybe veggie filling.
I am in no way whatsoever an expert, I don’t really eat them, just all from memories.

A bridie doesn't have potato in it, a pasty does. A Forfar bridie is also made with shortcrust, not flaky, pastry, but bridies made in other parts of Scotland may be flaky pastry.

I used to have a job where I visited offices in Angus, one of them being in Forfar, and lunch on those days was always from one of the bridie shops .

See, I just remember getting a bridie when I was little with my dad and he called it a Forfar bridie now I know it should be shortcrust cool.

Never heard of a bridie but a pasty where I’m from is a pastry pocket with some kind of filling - cheese and onion/beef/potato etc.

a bridie is filled with steak or mince and onion,and can be shortcrust of flaky,a pasty is different as it can have all sorts of fillings.

We live in Forfar and they are definitely two different things - shortcrust pastry with meat filling, you can also get a flaky pastry version and also with or without onions - both famous bakers shops are very nearby so a regular purchase here 😊

A true (Cornish) pasty is beef, potato, turnip and onion in shortcrust pastry.

I used to love a pasty but they tend to repeat on me now, I said, they tend to repeat on me now
