Cornish granted minority status in UK

[Mich the Tester]

I hope you didn't mean pasties, because they are not a snack.

Yum.

They are for some people.

Wouldn't that breach the EU protected origin legislation as applied to Cornish pasties? It must have been a "Cornish style" pasty.

they mucked up the paperwork in 2009

They are to me. It would take 2 or 3 of them to make a meal. Unless they were huuuuuuuuuuge ones.

I made empanadas last week. Soooooooooooo much better than pasties...

Considering a pasty was a full day's meal for a tin miner, doing an incredibly physically demanding job, they really shouldn't be!

Has anyone ever had a traditional main + dessert pasty like they used to have in the mining days (you'd have fruit in one end with a little pastry divider)? I never saw anywhere selling them.

No, but I have made them with sweet and savoury fillings. Trouble is, you have one, and all that pastry fills you up, so the second becomes a touch harder to get down.

And fatties and cretins.

But not Munters

Probably, in all seriousness, means they'll be getting a regional assembly, which they've been hankering after for years.

They're possibly more insular than even the most remote Welshman. Quite odd really, but I do love it down there.

Odd that in order to retain sovereignty you have to be a group of less than a certain number, and no less than too few.

Surely I should be granted minority status - there's only one of me!

No there are plenty of cretins around.
