Hi Westcountryers,

Only just saw this sub-forum, what a good idea.

I moved to Cornwall 12 years ago, so I'll probably need to be here for another 150 years or so to be considered a "local".

At least I'm not sat on the beach feeding seagulls tho .....

I moved to Bristol in 1996, but Kent is still 'home' to me!
I love Bristol, though. And have never felt like an outsider because it's so diverse here. I did when I lived in Ely, Cambridgeshire for 5 years.

I do envy you the beautiful Cornish countryside! Where did you live before you became a Westcountryer?

You reckon it'll take 150 years to be considered a local? If my experience of the Cornish is anything to go by it'll take more like 150 generations!

PS Not that as a Devonian I like taking the michael out of Cornish people.....much!

One hates to be the bearer of bad news Ali, but are you cuirrently in Cornwall? The Corish pasty now has EU Designated Place of Origin status, and so any pasty made in the same way as a Cornish one but made elsewhere cannot be called a Cornish pasty.

What fillings are you putting in them though? A fresh baked pasty can be a delight!

I could pretend but alas no Dave, anyway havent we got enough bureaucracy in this world without adding more! Grrrrrrr.

I'll be adding chuck steak, potatoes,swede,onions and gravy, sometimes I add sweet potato for a southern twist. Yummy all the same... :)

Yup, that sounds like a proper job Cornish pasty - beef, sweede, potatoe & gravy, that''s all it needs!

A good Cornish pasty is a delight - but whatever happens, never mistake anything with Ginsters on the label for a real pasty.......

Aren't bad is the operative term - it does seem to depend on what day you catch them on, so presumably their bakers have slightly different takes on the recipes. I do like their stilton & broccoli ones, which are best eaten on a match day in the hour or two before kick off, as they know masses of people will be in for a pasty and do a large batch specially, so they haven't had time to sit around in the warming ovens for hours.

Most of the best pasties I have ever eaten come from independant bakers dotted around the place, who have their own take on each type - and the worst independant bakers do much better pasties than Ginsters do!

I have eaten 'things' that were quite correctly referred to as 'Cornish Nasties'.
Not made in Cornwall that's for sure! They are the reason the name Cornish Pasty needed to be protected.

Taff gets his pasties from a local butcher (to order). They are huge but then he needs them when he's watching the Rugby matches and naturally they have to be washed down with a few cold lagers. :lol:
Funny how after the rugby season he suddenly decides pastry is bad for you :roll:

Theres no gravy in a proper cornish pasty, just a tablespoon of cold water. Ask Anne on the Lizzard, she makes the best I have ever tasted.
