The Best by swillinbillyflynn

The Best

Two things spring to mind here. Given that only pasties actually made in Cornwall can legally be called Cornish Pasties...... So calling them "the world's best" doesn't mean a lot....... A bit like American baseball being called "The World Series" when only American teams compete.

The other thing is that they are the official world's best Cornish Pasties....... This suggests that there may be other unofficial pasties that might be even better. In fact I would go as far as to say that the pasties my mate Trace makes are miles better than these and are therefore probably the world's best pasties...... but that's not official. :)
Completely disagree, the world best Cornish Pasties are made in Edinburgh by my own fair hand...

@sgtpepper But I'm sorry to say that they are in fact Scottish pasties Alf. How would the Scotts feel if we started making Haggis here in Cornwall. :)

I love that analogy, but my son makes really good pasties right here in Seattle!

@dmcoile Ah but they are Seatle pasties..... not Cornish at all. :)

@swillinbillyflynn I would argue that a pasty made by a true cousin Jack (i.e.me) is a Cornish pasty, no matter where it is made.

@kassidypup I agree, but he is just being awkward, you know whate he's like :-)

@sgtpepper @kassidypup Me? Awkward? I don't know what you mean..... stubborn, cantankerous, argumentative, stroppy, belligerent maybe.... but never awkward. :)

@swillinbillyflynn @kassidypup All of the above, and then some ;-)

Hahaha love the commentary
my Dad made "Cornish pasties" here in Australia - he was if Cornish origin and I am sure would have said his were best lol

Ummmm....I hate to disappoint their patrons, but it says the worlds best Cornish 'pasty,' not 'pasties,' and I'm willing to bet someone else has already bought and eaten that pasty (it being best when fresh) -- leaving the title open again!
