My opinions on Cornish pasties are my opinions. Try the pasties I recommend and you'll be glad you valued my opinions. Nowt else to say really. As for pork sausages, I eat them a lot and the remark I made about a rare treat was not to do with them at all. As a matter of fact we had them on Sunday evening. That literacy malarkey you're moaning about in another thread involves, among other things, careful reading. I recommend the practice. By the way, I heartily recommend the pork sausages made by my butcher, Moores of Kilkhampton and Bude. His lamb is to die for as well, reared as it is on his own farm. I've never eaten a decent supermarket sausage, though admittedly I haven't put myself through the pain of trying every available variety. The hallmark of a good butcher is his pork sausage. If he takes pride in that, the rest of his produce will be good. Apologies to lady butchers. I know there are some. There's a very good one at at a little farm shop outside Hatherleigh in Devon on the Holsworthy road, though it's a bit far for me to go for my sausages.
