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

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.

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.

Yes, yes, I see now.  Fiendishly evil sir.  I was wondering why I had this sudden affinity towards bandits and an urge to be nice to Phantom sailors.  Thank god no one has mentioned fairy cakes - we'd all be wanting Solos!
 
 
What could possibly go wrong?

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

ahhh,m so that's the reason.... there was me thinking there was no correlation with my wife signing up to instagram to share photos of baked goods with her friends and me buying a lavender-iced solo.

Pity I'd wrecked my back by then - would have been interesting to see how Minisail V's GP would have gone. Maybe next time!
 
I'd like to amend 'would have won' to 'could have won', there were some well sailed boats there that weekend.

The key to winning is not to leave all your gear in your brothers car overnight and relying on him turning up.

Best Cornish pasties I can remember tasting are the ones my auntie made when we used to visit.... used to overhang the plate........... beautiful....... a meal in one. Simple wholesome inexpensive ingredients.... mmmmm... I'm getting inspired to knock a few up (got her recipe at home)........!! Approve

I was in the "Original Bakewell Pudding Shop" in Bakewell where the original secret recipe is held. When I was standing waiting to pay the customer ahead of me, an elderly man of irascible countenance was paying his bill. The assistant asked if he enjoyed his pudding? "No, that was not a real |Bakewell Tart". The assistant was amazed, "What was wrong with it"? "Too much cinnamon"! "B,b,b, but this is the real shop where we make the real puddings to the original recipe"! "I don't care, that was NOT a real pudding". The Empire was founded by men like that.
