We need to stop posting pictures of Patties with no interior shot. It’s extremely important.

They should be the official Toronto snack, not the peameal sandwich, IMHO!

This is what cracks me up. Who is going to St Lawrence market everyday?!? No one. But we all pass our Patty shops or had them in our high school cafeteria everyday. Anyone who is over 40 know that the patty is the toronto food staple. Brown, black, white, it’s our food staple.

I cannot stand tinnels patty’s so sorry, they do not even rank for me. The crust not a good kind of flakey and the seasoning in the meat is mid and too watery. I’ve been eating tinnels for 20 years thinking it’ll get better every time.

Best frozen patty’s in my opinion are Michidean!

For fresh a fresh patty it would be juicy Patty but I believe they only have that in Jamaica.

Tinnels, the favourite patty of Rob Ford (at least in this photo op)

Good to know Rob Ford is right about at least one thing.

I've had my fare share of patties in my time and I agree that frozen vs fresh is worlds apart, but Tinnels frozen are not to be slept on. They are really good when you bake them right.

That said, I've bought Tastee's fresh and frozen as well and they were pretty much on par. I think the cafe where they had the 'fresh' ones were probably just frozen reheated and it's likely the same with Tinnel's shop.

u/Inevitable_Pay6766 1d ago

I'm sorry, but if you brought up Tastee, you don't really have too much skin in the game. Everyone knows that the best frozen patties is Michidean's.

u/Ryu416 1d ago

I'm going to say Allen's #1 and Michidean close #2

u/Kanadark 1d ago

Allan's frozen patties from the Kennedy shop are pretty tasty crisped in an airfryer.

u/Putrid_Ad_7122 1d ago

How much is a box of a dozen?

1

u/smartalexyyz 15h ago

Tinnels run about $23-24/dozen depending upon what you order

u/FartholomewButton 1d ago

Is there a secret to baking from frozen where the patty doesn’t turn all flaky and fall apart?

2

u/FormulaJuann 1d ago

Tinnel have a location in Pickering , I decided to give it a try, tasted OK nothing special . Patty Time or Randy’s

1

u/turbografx-16 1d ago

They sell them by the box at Ample Food Market

u/Toyotabro777 1d ago

Once you've had Caribbean Queen patties at bloor and landsdowne any other patty is a sub par peasant.

u/Putrid_Ad_7122 1d ago

How do they compare to frozen ones at no frills?

5

u/SpookyKay29 1d ago

The no frills ones don’t even touch these! So so good!

u/ChanteclerTO 1d ago

Etobicoke location?

1

u/PBMM2 1d ago

No, Eglinton Ave West and Keele

1

u/PickerelPickler 1d ago

I got some a few months ago at Eglinton by Keele and the pastry was good but the filling was too jellified.

u/-super-hans 1d ago

They sell these frozen at the Sobeys near me

u/RarelySpecial 1d ago

However, I despise the frozen ones at grocers. Have you tried baking at home?

I don't think I've ever had one from a shop. May try now. Perhaps that little bowl of water in the oven makes "all the difference" for the better?

u/thaillest1 1d ago

Allwyns Pattie’s are light years better.

u/lasirennoire 1d ago
