Foreign Food

And isn't there a difference to it's content end on end Vince?

Wasnt there a law a while ago where all the ingredients of a cornish pasty had to be produced in Cornwall--Vince??

I may well be wrong, sure Vince will correct me, but did the original pasty not have potato on one side and veg on the other??

I thought it was meat and potato at one side and then your pudding (sweet) at the other. You hopefully ate the savoury end first, then the sweet end. The handle bit of the pasty was usually grubby by then and got thrown away.

Yes, I think you quite right Ruth. Knew it was something at each end. Just trying to get brain back together after recent events

I fully understand Dave  Our friends in Cornwall always make them with lamb too, no other meat will do. They don't bother with the sweet bit now, I think that was so the tin miners only needed to take one package of food to work with them, keeping everything nice and compact.

I think Vince will confirm exactly that

I hope so, or I'm going to be in bother  He's more of an expert than me. What I do know is that the ones that arrive at most of the pasty shops in a frozen state to be cooked each day are no where near like the proper ones made from scratch daily at a few local bakeries - The Cough in Padstow being a fine example.

Never really enjoyed a pasty since eating the real thing on several Cornish visits

We only ever buy them in Cornwall Dave, proper ones. I heard a Cornish lady on the radio yesterday saying that a pasty should never under any circumstances be eaten with a knife and fork, hand held only
