Pick Your Own Pasties: Build Your Perfect Pasty Box

There are people who know exactly which pasty they want.

Traditional Cornish. Every time. No discussion required.

Then there are the rest of us. Perhaps you fancy Steak & Ale today, Chicken Tikka tomorrow and something completely different at the weekend.

Maybe everyone in your household has their own favourite. Or perhaps you've spotted so many tempting pasty flavours that choosing just one seems unnecessarily difficult.

That's exactly where Pick Your Own Pasties comes in.

At Proper Pasty Company, you can create your own mixed pasty box, choosing from a wide range of meat, vegetarian, vegan and even dessert pasties.

Choose your favourites. Try something new. Fill the freezer.

Your box. Your pasties. Your rules.

Think of it as a Cornish pasty pick 'n' mix.

Instead of buying a box containing one predetermined flavour, Pick Your Own Pasties lets you decide exactly what goes inside.

Proper Pasty currently offers Pick Your Own boxes containing:

Each box can be filled with your chosen combination from the flavours currently available through the service.

That means you don't need six identical pasties, unless of course you want six identical pasties... That's entirely up to you.

We've kept it simple.

Head to the Pick Your Own Pasties section and choose whether you'd like a box of 6, 8 or 10.

Then select a flavour for each position in your box.

• You could choose six completely different pasties.
• You could choose three favourites twice.
• You could fill half the box with Traditional Cornish and use the other half to experiment with speciality flavours.
• Or you could build the most gloriously random pasty collection Cornwall has ever seen.

Once you've made your selections, save them, add the box to your basket and complete your order. For help on how to order, please visit our helpful How to Order Cornish Pasties Online page.

Your chosen pasties are then packed for delivery to your door.

This is where things get interesting.

Proper Pasty currently advertises 25+ pasty flavours across its wider range, while its Pick Your Own service offers an extensive selection of speciality flavours.

You'll find familiar favourites alongside flavours you might never have considered putting inside a pasty and when there are more than 25 speciality flavours waiting to be discovered, choosing just one seems a bit unnecessary.

Discover our selection and check out our dedicated 25 Pasty Flavours: Which One Should You Try Next? blog. 

The answer partly depends on how adventurous you're feeling.

Pick Your Own 10 Pasties

For the serious pasty household, there are ten.

The Pick Your Own 10 currently lets you select ten 283g Medium pasties in your chosen combination.

This is where you can really explore the range. Keep a few classics and add several flavours you've never tried... And don't forget pudding.

A Cornish pasty box also makes a wonderfully different food gift.

Rather than choosing one flavour on somebody else's behalf, you can build a selection around what you know they enjoy.

Love traditional food?… Keep things classic.

Love curry?… Add the spicier flavours.

Vegetarian?… Build around the meat-free selection.

A notorious sweet tooth?... You know where the dessert pasties are.

Proper Pasty's current Pick Your Own products also offer a free personalised gift message and the option to choose a delivery date, making them suitable for sending directly to somebody else.

• Birthdays
• Thank-yous
• Father's Day
• Moving house 
• or simply because someone deserves a box of Cornish pasties...

We're not convinced you need much of an excuse, so why not explore our Cornish Gifts ideas and check out our The Best Cornish Gifts for Food Lovers: Send a Taste of Cornwall blog. 

There's another very practical reason to build your own pasty box.

The freezer.

Proper Pasty's Pick Your Own pasties arrive frozen in thermal packaging and should be placed into the freezer on receipt.

Current product guidance recommends keeping them frozen and cooking them directly from frozen rather than defrosting first.

That means you can create your own stash of different flavours and choose whatever you're in the mood for.

Monday might be Traditional Cornish.

Wednesday might demand Steak & Gravy.

Friday?... Thai Red Chicken.

And Sunday evening might mysteriously become Dutch Apple & Custard time.

That's the beauty of having a mixed pasty box waiting in the freezer.

There's one obvious question when you order several different flavours:

How do I tell my pasties apart?

All pasties have their own unique markings to help identify them and Proper Pasty includes an A4 cooking guide with pasty markings with every order.

Need any additional help to identify the flavours, please visit our How to Identify Pasty Flavours guide.
