Now, pay attention everyone; there are many pastry based products that claim to be a Cornish Pasty.
Rule One: A pasty from Cornwall is a pasty. Never refer to it as a Cornish pasty.
Rule Two: A pasty has never had one half meat, one half fruit. That's just Cornish myth.
Rule Three: A pasty has a crimp that goes around the side, NEVER EVER over the top!!!!
Rule Four: If the crimp goes left to right, it is a Hen pasty (female), if it goes right to left, it is a **** pasty (male) )
Rule Five: The ingredients of a pasty are chuck steak, potato, and turnip/swede. They go in raw and are cooked in the pastry. Peas and minced meat are NEVER found in a pasty.
Rule Six: Pasty pastry is hot water pastry only. No other sort is acceptable.
Rule Seven: Only ever eat a pasty with your hands
Rule Eight: It is pronounced "paasty" not "parsty" - elongate your vowels, never roll your Rs (unless you're from Somerset in which case- why aren't you drinking cider?)
Interesting the meaning of the word "Tiddly" as one of my first girlfriends must have been from
Cornwall, as I remember her laughing and saying that a lot !

Never had a deep fried Mars bar, they're pretty much an urban legend (although I'm told some chippies will make one if you ask). Haggis supper, now, that's a thing of joy!
Haggis is one of life's little pleasures. A Sunday breakfast of a slice of thick white bread, cut into a circle, and fried until golden brown. Then top it with a ring of black pudding, a ring of haggis and a poached egg.
My Gawd. . .I thought only us Americans deep-fried already unhealthy things, usually at state fairs--the origin of the corndog, which I understand most Brits find disgusting, and the current craze. . .deep-fried butter! And all I know of Cornwall is what I see on Doc Martin. Please don't tell me it's filled with inaccurate stereotypes!

We actually have our own take on the American Corndog. We call them battered sausages, or jumbo sausages with batter. Great with chips and curry sauce!
Have you ever heard of the Emancipation Proclamation?"
Thanks for the awesome paasty lesson, Ian. I have enjoyed a life-long love affair with pasties, maybe dating back to regular summer holidays in Cornwall. It's very hard to find a genuine pasty but luckily even those that aren't particularly accurate are still often tasty at least!
Fortunately for me work takes me down the M6 past Knutsford from time to time where, at the motorway services is a West Cornwall pasty stall which do the most tiddly oggies you will find up north.
Ironically, the best pasty I ever had was from Ivor Dewney in Plymouth, just over the Tamar in Devon. How bizarre.
And Hardyboy, Cornwall is a bit like Doc Martin, just with fewer job prospects. But if you are ever over this way you must visit. Remember DAD was filmed in Cornwall.

Thanks, Ian. I'm hoping to be in London and Dorchester this July, so maybe I can swing by Cornwall. And if the women look anything like Louisa and Morwenna, I may not want to leave. . .
Getting letters from my five year old niece in Bergen (yes, I'm bragging on her behalf )
This winter we have been pen pals, and every letter is a joy. She writes her own letters, but needs some help reading mine. I think she'll do well when she starts school in the autum ....
What you do with your sausage is your own affair, TP )
It's gone 3pm our time and I am sitting on the balcony with an ice cold bottle of San Mig - I will spend the next couple of hours on the laptop then watch the sunset around 6pm - it's a lovely day and the temperature is in the high 80's F - THIS is one of life's little pleasures -{
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
I was up at 7-15 today ,took the hound up the woods ,the sun rising in the east probing its finger like rays through the branches of the trees ,like giant laser beams from an old star trek show . the birds chirping away claiming their spot .The first of the blue bells have managed to break through ,only another 5 million to go then home .Breakfast in the garden ,fresh coffee ,whole grain toast with Jersey butter smothered in little scarlet jam (I read that some where ) the cheapest things in life are the best . and to top it all today is Saturday .

Mrs AS has gone out for the day (well that's a pleasure in itself) I have the house to myself
so today, I did my famous secret mission breakfast ,I call it that as one day you might not come back from it
first I had to find the Christmas turkey plate (its big) then on that 3 slices of toast ,2 potato waffles, 2 fried eggs sunny side up ,2 pork sausages ,3 slices of Lancashire black pudding ,half-a-a doz mushrooms ,2 rashers of bacon, baked beans ,and a whole tin of plum tomatos ,I like my toast soggy with the tomato juice washed down with a mug of tea (Q mug)and Florida fresh orange juice ,the sun was out so I sat in the garden and ate it there, perfect start to the day .
By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

I think that's what they call an "all day breakfast", AS! That said, I really think you'd have trouble putting all that lot into a tin! ) -{
P.S. I hope that Mrs AS doesn't read AJB!

Are you still alive? )
Could do with that now!
Would have preferred to see the pic of your plate then your garden lol
We actually get sun in the middle of the day where my house is now. So far we have only looked at other places getting sun, but due to the mountains we have lived in shadow. Go sun! B-)

I like pasties.
I'm glad you read my posts so thoroughly

One of my Scottish traditions when visiting the great city of Edinburgh is a haggis supper.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
