face like a half-eaten pasty


similar to the 'head like a half-eaten mango'- derogatory description of facial features, in the case of the pasty, perhaps referring to pimples, but more likely to be an attempt to reduce the person's credibility, eg if they were wearing nice clothes, the reference to the face would undermine the social success: I wouldn't use it, but someone else might say: 'I'm talking about the one with the face like a half-eaten pasty.'
