See ... I would have plumped for Lamb as the meat and potatoes and carrots as the veg.

See thats a variation but its not a traditional cornish pasty, a proper cornish pasty would contain only beef, potatoes, swede & onion..............if I was being really pedantic I would state that it should be split in half with a savoury and a sweet halves

My mum was born in the tiny fishing village of Mousehole in Cornwall, so I am half Cornish. I haven't lived in those part of the UK in a long time and yes I definitely miss the odd cornish pasty.... (big sighhhh). I now live in Calgary,

I lived in London for almost 8 years before I came to Canada. The closest I got to a Cornish pasty was from the "West Cornwall pasty company" on the Strand in central London. I often wonder whether it would be something that would take off here. I know they were not "proper," but not at all bad.

OGGY OGGY OGGY !!! OI OI OI !!!!

HI
Thanks for the heads up on the location of cornish pasties will be scouting them out at the weekend and I so know what you mean about Scotch eggs I missed them so much I ended up making my own :)
