Reply to: Cornish granted minority status in UK

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

These are gutbusters, Wecome to Pengenna Pasties. Had one in Tintagel last year and it was a slog.

Does that mean they can have Darkie Day again without fear of molestation from Diane Abbott?

But surely you support the tradition of Diane Abbott molesting them?

We went to the marbles museum in Devon a couple of weeks ago and in it, un-ashamably, is a picture witha caption - 'Darkies playing Marbles'. I tulip thee not.

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

No there are plenty of cretins around.

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.

And fatties and cretins.

But not Munters

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.

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

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

Does that mean we can now pick on them?

No, cos I am one of them me lover

[vetran]

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
