I had enough of trying rubbish Cornish “styled” pasties (Cornish pasties are a protected recipe) up north. These want to be pasties are pies masquerading as pasties. They don’t get things right and here’s the big ones for me.

Here’s the recipe for a real Cornish pasty, and its worth noting a few things.

• NO GRAVY
• Its not wet!
• There’s quite a bit of pastry compared to the inners.
• THERE IS NO PEAS! (which I’m allergic to…!)
• There is better crimping

Hopefully some of my friends up north will finally understand what I mean.
