Best Pasty Ever (+ our introduction to Vanilla Slice!)

Mmm, the pasty! I was actually introduced to the pasty before moving to a British commonwealth; they're quite popular in the Upper Penninsula (say ya to da UP, eh?) of Michigan. Anyway, Reed and I ate the best Cornish pasties at the Ross Bakery, in the sweet little town of Ross, Tasmania (the picture at the left is a church in Ross - sorry, no pasty pictures!). This bakery was a little slice of heaven, everything looked amazing. The pasties though....oh my. The crust was perfect - buttery and flaky. The whole meal was rather noteworthy, considering we followed the pasties with an Aussie dessert delicacy: the Vanilla Slice. The Vanilla Slice consists of two pieces of filo-like dough, dusted in powdered sugar, sandwiching a ginormous slice of vanilla custard (seriously, it was like four-inches thick!). An outstanding meal all around!
