Sounds fair enough
More interesting is the fact that the Sun has printed an article about an EU regulation and doesn't seem to have put its usual anti-EU spin on it. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but to me the article doesn't appear to be saying that its a bad thing. Someones hasn't done their job.

That's fair enough to me. It's no different to Champagne, Port, Sherry, Melton Mowbray Pork Pies, Maine lobsters etc.
I guess technically Mars bars will have to change their names too unless they are planning to relocate their factories! ;D

Get a ban on people claiming to make Cheddar cheese outside Cheddar village & I'll be happy. Tried some 'Lakeland Cheddar' last week, what a disgrace.
It's grim from up north!!
Bloody northerners should stick to what they're good at, Black Pudding & Uncle Joe's Mintballs!!!

Hopefully Ginsters will one day stop putting utter crap in their pasties.

A proper, traditional cornish pastie is more rounded (rarely seen or made nowadays) has one side filled with typical savoury pastie filling and the other with something like apple or jam so you get a full blown meal in one pastie. My piece of useless information for the day.

Are Pasties really from Devon though? Who cares, they can still make pasties

No. Pasties date back from when there were lots of tin mine workers in Cornwall.
One end was sweet, one end was savoury. Jam and meat if you like. Hence that is why they had a stiff and sturdy crust.
And then they evolved to the crap you get at West Cornwall Pasty Co.
Incidentally, I looked up their address in Helston (my mum lives near there)
Drove by the next day - not a pasty or flag to be seen. It's all a fraud..

I worked with a guy from Cornwall who at the mere mention of Ginsters would call them a load of crap, not a cornish pasty and get quite annoyed if you bought one. He didn't have a lot of time for the West Cornwall Pasty Co but they weren't as a bad as Ginsters

Anything that started out as a small scale, lovingly hand made product by people with passion for that product, instantly turns to shit the moment they decide mass-production is a good idea.

Discuss Very true, give me quality before quantity any time. Best ingredients soon get swapped for cheapest ingredients to increase profits.

Yeh, like we're gonna believe anything Steve Evans says!! Robin - surely you are not questioning my integrity? For the hardcore pasty massive, big up the link below: www.cornwall-online.co.uk/history/pasty.htm"The pasty originally evolved to meet the needs of tin mining, that other great, but now sadly declined, Cornish industry. A hearty meal wrapped in a pastry casing made for a very practical lunch (or "croust" , as they used to call it ) down in the dark and damp tunnels of the mine. Some mines even built huge ovens on the surface to keep the miner's pasties hot until it was time to eat.
Tradition has it that the original pasties contained meat and vegetables in one end and jam or fruit in the other end, in order to give the hard-working men 'two courses'. Cornish housewives also marked their husband's initials on the left-hand side of the pastry casing, in order to avoid confusion at lunchtime. This was particularly useful when a miner wished to save a 'corner' of his pasty until later".I rest my case. PS - Have you ever wondered why I am so fat?

A wee bit harsh, Robin. I'm full of it - integrity that is I think you are just bitter. I can only imagine what you got called in the playground with a name like Shater ;D
