Life Pasty

A Cornish Pasty for one's whole life

Inspired by the original Cornish Pasty, which is filled with meat & veg at one end and fruit at the other, giving a whole meal in a convenient pastry case.

The idea could be extended to include, say, soup or prawn cocktail at the start, followed by meat & veg, fruit, then a pint of ale and perhaps a cigar.

The logical conclusion of this line of reasoning is the Life Pasty:

At the start is a teat, dispensing appropriately formulated milk, followed by baby food etc.

As one progresses through the Life Pasty, it need not be restricted to food, but may be extended to any consumer items. At mid-life crisis, for example, it might contain a sports car.

Inevitably, one fateful day the next 'bite' of the Life Pasty would contain something such as the front of a bus travelling at 40mph.

This might be seen as the embodiment of destiny. Rather than your life being fortold in the stars, it is set out in your Pasty.

I have posted the Life Pasty on behalf of my colleague Hayden, who is a constant source of amusement.

       I'd hate to think what you'd have to use as a preservative.

       I should probably clarify that the idea is to extend the Pasty concept to a full meal. The Life Pasty is an exercise in taking that idea to it's logical conclusion.
