There are a massive family who have a yearly series on TV about them. Nice family by all accounts.

Best pastie I've ever tasted. It's got high meat content and clearly made with fresh meat and veg. Pastry is amazing too. Some Cornish pasties I've had you'd not want to eat the v pastry.

Pasty Tour 2021 has a ring.
Re: pukka pies
The big question with meat pies, is whether the best ones come from the butchers or bakers, it possibly depends on whether you value the pastry or contents highest.
Appleton's Butchers in Rippon is amongst my favourites, I've included it in several tours.

Re: pukka pies
Cornish pasties are a protected product these days.
Pasties are pasties I suppose, but a Cornish pasty has beef skirt, onion and swede, and seasoning to taste, and nothing else. Shortcrust pastry folded over and crimped on the side. They can only be Cornish, if they are made in Cornwall.
Was cycling from JOG to LE some years ago and called in at a cafe in Garstang. The weather was boiling hot and they had air conditioning!
Ordered a cuppa and a Cornish pasty ................ and the pasty had peas in it!

Re: pukka pies
While pastry and meat are important, I value the contents higher and find that butchers give the best quality and most meat.
Still, I used to really rate Higgidy steak and stilton pies but they are no longer made and the company has expanded its vegetarian offerings (not my cup of tea) as I guess the profit margin is higher (having no meat).

You lot can't even agree on the crimp location - there's shops that are vehement in their insistence that ridge-crimping is the true Cornish wayMick F wrote: ↑13 Apr 2021, 2:37pm Cornish pasties are a protected product these days.

Re: pukka pies
Not in Cornwall.
Cornish pasties are folded and crimped on the side.
Personally, I'm not fussed about pasties generally. Have them the way you want them, or not bother with them.
Can't remember the last time I had a pasty.

Re: pukka pies
According to the PGI status, a Cornish pasty should be shaped like a 'D' and crimped on one side, not on the top. Its ingredients should include beef, swede (called turnip in Cornwall), potato and onion, with a light seasoning of salt and pepper, keeping a chunky texture.

Re: pukka pies
On the protected status of Cornish pasties, I'm reminded of a report for summons I had to check in the mid-1970s when somebody had been shooting at a bird in Leeds (on one of the tree-lined Victorian terraces off Chapeltown Road for any interested Leeds Loiners.) Challenged by some local worthy and told the bird was protected, the suspect replied "Nobody's protecting it round here" before firing again. I may only have remembered this because it stood out among the learners without 'L' plates etc.
Anyway, post Brexit, who's protecting Cornish pasties? It's hard to imagine any sort of export market.

We are: GB still has the scheme, all existing PGI’s in Britain existing on 31 December 2020, have been incorporated into and under UK protection:

Not everything under EU auspices was bad This was a great scheme and deserved to be continued.

The answer to my question seems to be Product Authentication Inspectorate Limited which doesn't seem to have a website.
