Subject: RE: Folklore: Cornish Pasty to be a protected species.
As a long-time denizen of Kernow, my advice apropos of pasties is as follows. If you're in true, deepest Cornwall, seek out Ann's pasties in Lizard village. You need to check her opening times. Failing that, seek out Crantock bakery's pasties. They really understand what meat should be therein and how it should be in the mouth. Further east, in the part of Cornwall I live in, you won't go far wrong with Barnecutt's pasties, made in Rock just round the corner from Sharp's brewery, but disseminated far and wide throughout the county (this end at least). Don't even think of buying a pasty and taking it home for later. You have to eat it hot, straight from the shop, walking through the street, or else it's only fit for giving to the seagulls.
