THE PERFECT PASTY WITH THE PERFECT PASTRY - Carrs Pasties

Pea wet will still have protected geographical indication status.

[stek]

The cornish pasty was originally made with savoury on 1 side and sweet on the other.

The pastry was so thick because you were not supposed to eat, as the pasty was the staple food of the cornish tin miners and often their hands were covered in various 'toxins' and they were not able to wash them so you would eat all of the pasty except the bit you held.

Now you can get crap pasties from various 'The Cornish Pasty Co' vans parked at various service stations and rail stations - or your some greasy limp thing from your local Greggs/Sayers.

But suffice to say

Another delusion of Brits is, that they think foreigners like their pasties.
Let me shatter that dream for you, no they don't like them, so no difference with the name protected or not.

Some of the food counters in the city supermarkets sell a conconction that's rather like a mini-pastie. Great in the morning if you're feeling a little jaded from the night before.

Another delusion of Erikur is, he thinks he speaks for all foreigners and their love/hate of pasties (in all their flavours) thereof.
Let me shatter that dream for you, no you don't, whether you think so or not.

Its a samosa you muppet!

Really? With protected status gone then an American made Pastie could look like a Samosa couldn't it but still be marketed as a Pastie couldn't it?

Here are all the other products protected under EU law but once the great free trade treaty with the USA has been negotiated, I suspect some of those cheeses will start to look like this

So at least it's authentically British then...
