Pasties!

[cherryowen]

We're off to Cornwall for a week in June, and whilst down there we want to sample the best Cornish pasty.

This will be Mrs. O's first visit to Cornwall, but my third visit, and the last time I was there I stumbled across a bakery in Hayle (can't remember the name of the bakery) whose pasties were off the chart good. But that was over 20 years ago.

Any recommendations for where to go for the best Cornish pasty?

Cheers for all the suggestions

Clicking the links provided tells me that the Hayle bakery mentioned in my OP was Philps, so we'll certainly be checking out Barnecutts and the one mentioned in Looe.

This man knows.

Was she the one who appeared in the first series of Rick Stein's Food Heroes?

Why?

A traditional pasty has a few simple ingredients - beef skirt, onion, potato and swede/turnip in a shortcrust pastry. Once you move significantly away from that you’re no longer talking about a pasty, it’s just a pie in a funny shaped pastry container.

Don't forget the pepper!

That's one of the things I took from Anne @ Lizard Point on Rick Stein's Food Heroes. It was one layer of each ingredient, followed by a liberal grind of pepper, followed by a layer of the next ingredient and another grind of pepper.
