They don’t taste as good as the cooked ones though.

maybe if you cook them?

Barnecutts is always the first choice.

However, if you want something different (especially if you want them at home) Prima Bakeries in Scorrier do all sorts from chicken & chorizo, Bombay potato to chilli beef and more. Only thing is that they only sell the frozen ones in packs of 4, so take a decent size coolbox and buy ice blocks.

Mary's pasties are my favourite and in particular the ones from Mevagissey

Ig kre all thr above as I haven't read it. Rowes utter crap. Warrens too - baby fingers

Padstow ones are rank every shop bar the choughs, but they taste nice but after an hour you will regret it.

Barnecutts are OK, Philps slightly better, Ann's pasties better, but gear farm best of all but pita to source for those upcounty.

Also avoid cornish oven at all costs.

This man knows.

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

Not sure what series but she was on it. Her son does it now.

Yep, Mary’s are pretty good. But a bought pasty is nothing like a proper homemade one. And if you are putting decent ingredients into a pasty, you’re going to need to charge £7-8 if you want to make a profit.

Looking for a Heston Blumenthal recipe for the humble but respected pasty.

Rubbish

Obviously it’s a matter of taste and preference , But having sampled CORNISH pasties for well over 70 years ,I think I know what I am talking about , In my view Philps and Rowes are the ones to go to for consistency of filling and taste .all others are inconsistent with sparse filling or soggy pastry
The only other alternative is DIY with Rick Stein’s recipe

My elderly mother derides any pasties other than the ones her Cornish mother and grandmother made.

So that’s that then for her and acceptable pasties.

I’m not at all fussy and am looking forward to sampling some from the suggestions here

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.

Plenty of websites where you can buy pasties online.

Agree that anything other than skirt (although chuck steak can be used in exceptional circumstances), onion, potato and swede/turnip isn't a pasty.

This specifically, initially under EU Regs and now under UK Regs - which means that many of the producers recommended on thread also produce not Cornish Pasties along with their Cornish Pasties

I find rowes mush and poor pastry!

But then we all think we have the prettiest wife at home as a once great man said!

Have you actually tried gear farm or Ann's?

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.
