Got to say Rupert that sounds nice, even though it's totally wrong that there's no meat in it.

The odd thing is that I'm veggie, so have never eaten a genuine cornish pasty. But even veggie ones with peas in would be just too horrible to contemplate!
Personally, I like the ones that my (Cornish) mother-in-law makes for me - potato, swede, leek and blue cheese. With short crust pastry, of course. Yum. And properly crimped. The other complaint I hear from meat pasty eaters is that of there being mince beef in them, not skirt. |

I've had a Rick Stein pasty in Padstow and have to say it was quite disappointing really.
The best pasty ever.... probably a Chicken Tikka one from the shop at Daymer Bay after a bit of a brutal introduction to wave sailing last easter. 30 odd knots, 5.2m on a 103L board- that's small kit for a big bloke. I'd shreaded my hands on my boom, 'death grip' of fear combined with fine sand from the shoredump; and the pipping hot pasty filling dripped onto the fresh wounds- absolute agony, but it was so tasty I persevered. |

It's all part of my secret plan to get you all to eat pasties and turn into phantom sailors Dougal.

Yeah but who defines the recipe of something like a cornish? As I said I bet there were 100 different recipes floating around Cornwall years ago that should be able to be called a cornish but because some burocrats and marketing people have decided on it they cannot anymore.
I wish they'd do it with cider then we could outlaw things like woodpecker and white lightning... Edited by maxibuddah - 18 Dec 12 at 10:59am |

'provenance' id definitely a marketing trend in the food industry... but there's also legislative controls in place to protect geo-specific recipes and products:
I believe a 'Cornish' Pasty falls within this legislation.

Who mentioned cornish? Wasn't me, I only said pasty, which of course can come from anywhere in the world. The eu have only defined cornish pasties so everyone else can do whatever they like so long as they don't call it cornish. |

I was only working from memory from the last one I had from morrisons so can't say it would be authentic.
Anyway what is authentic? There are many recipes that could be genuinely called authentic that come from Cornwall which means no one can definitively say what is. I bet that the miners who had them originally didn't care as long as there was stuff in them that was edible and I suspect that it varied person to person. Based on that assumption from me there cannot be an authentic pasty as they would have all varied due to the ingredients the maker had to hand. Strikes me that trying define what is authentic is little more than a marketing ploy based on nostalgia to separate you from your money. All that it means is that you end up branding a product/area based on a marketing persons idea. |
