to report my butcher for still calling his pasties Cornish Pasties

[AristotleThunderpants]

Now that they are a protected species and can only be called Cornish pasties if they are made in Cornwall everyone else who makes then will have to think of a new name for the aformentioned comestibles
I asked my local butcher what he would call them and he got quite cross and said it was a load of bollocks and where will it stop can they only be called Yorkshire pudding if they are made in Yorkshire
Any way the outcome of our heated and sometimes loud discussion was that he was still going to call them Cornish pasties

Should I report him to the pastie police?

You should urinate on his feet. What a bastard.

The Horniman Museum had Cornish pasties too at the weekend... Hmmm...

I also think the ruling is ridiculous.

but if it is indeed a court ruling and it is therefore illegal to call them cornish if they aren't then maybe he will use "cornish style pasty"

but no, you shouldn't be reporting him. Unless you really are so incredibly bored and uptight youhave nothing better to do

Maybe he is himself Cornish and therefore carries pasty making in his genes

Thing is, in Cornwall they're just called a Pasty. Don't ever go into a butcher in Cornwall and ask for a 'Cornish Pasty' - they'll laugh at you!

So, yes, you should report him - they shouldn't be called Cornish Pasties anyway!

Tell him to rename them 'Corn-ish'

Should've put a at the end!

OP you clearly have too much time on your hands!

I think you've got too little to worry about and that he's right - it's all utter bollocks.

Can't believe people have enough time on their hands to even consider this. If you want something to tut at, can you come and clean my house?

The only people who care about this are Cornish people. Give them a as they have nothing better to do.

"he got quite cross and said it was a load of bollocks "

Utter tripe!

Absolutely report him..see how much better your life will be.

I feel sorry for the poor pasty shop guy. Trying to make a living then one day a jumped up know it all customer comes in bleeting on about his best selling pasty. Mr pasty man just wants to sell his little meat filled hangover cures then go home to his family.

Then, not only does Mr pasty man's sour faced customer cause a loud pathetic scene in his own shop, but then reports him. He hopes one day someone treats her with such venom. As he packs up his little shop he has been forced to close, he wonders if she has perhaps got herself a life.

[Laughing at pasty being a species]

Do we now have to re name Belgian Buns? Tottenham cake? Swiss Rolls? etc etc

bloody ridiculous

Op,

Are you a Devonian trying to cause pasty related trouble due to the utter bollox misguided view that some evil Devonshire folk have regurding the origian of the cornish pasty?...

iskra, the Horniman Museum used to have half a cat, preserved in formaldehyde so I'd think that Cornish/East Dulwich pasties are the least troubling things I would experience there. :o

You should report him.

It's the little things like this that lead to the decay of society.

Of course you should report him. Ignorant twat

I've reported Mr Kipling and his Cherry "Bakewells" for the same reason.

Do these people think we're idiots?

vallhala, blimey, must look out for that! We seem to spend most of our time in the gift shop

My friend 's surname is Cornish. So she can make and sell Cornish pasties I presume.

Suchffun
yes he sells tripe aswell

I think you should find something to do that doesn't involve winding people up.
