Cornish pasties given protected status

[Biddlybee]

A pasty by any other name

[SIZE=-1]A genuine Cornish pasty has a distinctive 'D' shape and is crimped on one side, never on top. The texture of the filling for the pasty is chunky, made up of uncooked minced or roughly cut chunks of beef (not less than 12.5%), swede, potato and onion and a light peppery seasoning...[/SIZE]

...[SIZE=-1]from now only Cornish pasties made in Cornwall and following the traditional recipe can be called ‘Cornish pasties’.[/SIZE]

The more important question is whether Ginsters is pronounced with a soft or hard "g".

It is irrelevant, because all their 'food' is dog muck.

Cornish pasties come from Devon. Those cunts west of the border will pay for their lunch-related larceny and no mistake.

Reminds me of another protected food, Stilton cheese. The people of Stilton are not allowed to call their cheese Stilton.

I've never come across a decent Cornish pastie. It's sad that the Cornish apparently have nothing better to be proud off.

I have visions of Cornish pasties roaming free in special pastie preserves, untroubled by pastie hunters.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

It has always baffled me as to why people living far away from Cornwall, choose to call the humble pasty a 'Cornish pasty'. I come from Devon, and no-one there calls it anything other than a pasty. Pasties are a common snack in Devon.

The Cornish may lay claim to the invention of the pasty but in reality they just adopted it. It is well known that from about 500 BC and earlier the Cornish were trading with the Phoenecians, selling them tin. The Phoenecians in their turn introduced the precursor to the pasty. It was a triangular pastry-food filled with meat or vegetables and we would recognise it today and call it a Samosa, as it was fried rather than baked. I know because I was there at the time.

I can't believe the original Cornish Pasty (which was invented some 500yrs ago) contained pepper..pepper cost around 3d a pound back then .. which in today's terms is about £300 billion per pound... 500,000 billion times more than the average Cornish tin miner earned in a year!
