Pasty Bolognese

Last night I made some short crust pastry following using Delia Smith’s recipe because I had a lot of problems with Julia Child’s when I made a quiche the other day. Today I made some Bolognese sauce with diced potato and used that as a substitute filling for what might otherwise have been a cornish pasty (well, I made five pasties). They turned out to be rather large. The idea is that I shall take them on a walk I am doing tomorrow with my friends Tom and Terry. I think I might need my 30L ruck sack for the job (as opposed to my 10L size). The pasties seem to have turned out well, although I think they would be better eaten with new potatoes and tomato sauce. I hope they won’t taste too dry when we are out in the woods.
