Pasties – In Search of a “Proper Job”
Time to take a sanity check on the state of pasties in Devon. With the increase in petrol stations being converted to “fuel and fill pit stops” it has come to our attention that the most readily available pasties are mass produced poor immitations of the proper job.
The recruitment of a proper pasty muncher was required and checking out this blog post about shopping online made us think about sending someone deep undercover to expose the real state of Devon pasties.
We sent our undercover mystery shopper (in the guise of a go ahead business woman) to check out what was hot on the pasty front and are sad to report that ready to go pasties and pies leave a lot to be desired.
You might have thought that being selected to taste pasties would rank highly as a great job – and as such worthy of inclusion on the list of top jobs in a recession however the suffering that our researcher undertook must not be overlooked.
Ginsters and Peters Pies dominate the filling station “food on the move” shelves and are at best poor and were condemed as being far from”proper jobs”.
To make matters worse Ginsters are from Cornwall which begs the question why in these economic doldrums are local petrol stations not stocking local food?
After only three days of work our mystery shopper decided that she’d had enough of crusts and fillings and left to look for other jobs that would be a better fit for her talents and interests.
The last we heard she had landed a fantastic job with an agency that supplies models of high street fashion shops and had recently returned from a swimwear shoot in florida where coincidentally she discoverd that “pasties” in the US has a very different meaning to the humble meat and vegetable pasty in these parts.
More top jobs – modeling lingerie.
Some top jobs just come out of the blue and her next assignment is hoped to model underwear for leading high street lingerie shops. Most girls love sophisticated lingerie claiming that it makes them feel empowered – smart and business like but confident in the knowledge that if they get knocked down by a bus they’ll look amazing for the doctors in A&E.
We wish you well in your future work and hope that you never forget the taste of the microwaved ginsters on the A30 between Okehampton and Launceston.
Munch on!
lingerie modeling is not for everyone though. But this is lucrative and fame is just around the corner. NIce job if only I’m qualified (lol)
Pasty Taster…. Where do I apply.
Sadly the Pasty market is the same as everything else nowadays, just one or two big manufacturers dominating the marketplace.
I agree, not everyone has the body to model lingerie. Well I hope she stays happy modeling. The pasty market is indeed dominated by one or two key players, same thing goes for most industries.
Great post, like the Peters Pies stuff.
Looking for the proper job, is that what you mean?
This job is really interesting, if you know what I mean 
Thanka for sharing it with us.
i would hang onto a job like that, pasties are great and with the economy a job is a job.
checking out this blog post about shopping online made us think about sending someone deep undercover to expose the real state of Devon pasties.
well if you love what you are doing then go for it(in this case going as a undercover mystery shopper) LOL
It does sound like interesting job, but don’t know if it can give decent proper income or not. But in this time, i guess every jobs is count
This is a unique chance to earn some money without expensive photo shoots or spending time away from the kids. Some top jobs just come out of the blue and her next assignment is hoped to model underwear for leading high street lingerie shops. Most girls love sophisticated lingerie claiming that it makes them feel empowered.
A growing number of plus-size models are redefining what society considers beautiful, and the heroin addict-looking supermodels of today could soon find their jobs in jeopardy.
Its really hard now to find job that we love to do. All the jobs that we done currently is a “must”, no matter we love it or not. So i assume if you get the jobs that you love, then just go for it. Its hard to find it this days.
Wonderful post you have here. Well, I think that most girls like this kind of job – moderating and doing underwear. Most of them think of Victoria secrets catalog and Gucci.
It is a sad state of affair for cornish pasties, hopefully the authentic real deal will not be lost to cheap mass-manufactured imitations. Thanks for the interesting blog, keep up the good work.

You really think modeling lingerie is an easy peasy job? Think again.
Did you see the news, new Tescos built next to the Ginsters factory in Callington. To get the pasty from the factory to the Tescos, it has to go via the distribution depot in Britol, they could walk it there! Apparently, this is all in the name of efficiency.
Your mistery shopper should try a Warrens Bakery pasty, the basic Cornish are really greasy! Nice to see more and more local shops popping up and doing their own though really, they sell very well in a standard Devon summer, just to keep you warm!!!
