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?

Huh? OP is this a joke?

what bout mars bars? surely not many of them are made by little green men

Good point darnsarf

Thinking about it will have to report waitrose too for their "Danish" pastries

Turkish Delight?
Swiss roll?

Chelsea buns? I make those here in Devon, so sue me :)

does he actually make them from scratch?

cos they can still be called cornish pasties if they are prepared in cornwall and then baked and sold elsewhere...

it's no stupider than champagne and sherry and crap like that though is it.
i think it's silly though

Come to think of it i have not once found a pair of pant sin a snickers bar.

No wonder people moan when threads are posted unnecessarily about shite.

Oh but this is good fun!
French fries anyone?

I heard that Heinz were forced to introduce 'salad cream' when County Mayo potected their unique sort of egg and oil condiment.

And Opal Fruits had to change name when it was proven that their was no opal in the mixture. Brian Cox is alledgedly advising on the new name

It's political correctness gorn mad.

Dog - I agree.
It's people like him who make me want to go vegetarian.

OP: report him to the Pastie Police - or the regulatory body, which is called OfPasty. Unless his pasties were actually off, in which case eport hi to Environmentl Health.

iskra, I shouldn't image that the poor cat's there now - I was a child myself when I last saw it and I don't recall coming across it 10 or 12 years ago when I was last there.

The bloody thing gave me nightmares!

WHat the blue blazes is "Tottenham cake"?

Are you making that up?

Let's all make up things, I vote for Luton Pie.

Have some people on MN recently had a humour bypass? And no I am not referring to the OP.

whats the food polices stance on cheddar cheese?

arctic roll, baked alaska, spannish omlette....someone get me a life im thinking about this way to much!

What's the Dept of Health's view on French Letters?

kendal mint cake, greek yogurt...stop me someone please!

I have the answer!! They should be called 'Cornish STYLE pasties' .....see what I did there .....I thank you

Oh pastapestoforgotherpassword brilliant idea
[What about if he buys one of his ingredients from Cornwall, could he then claim them to be Cornish Pasties.

After all, Champagne can only be called Champagne if the grapes from the region in France called 'Champagne' are used.

Similar thing could claimed here perhaps

Slightly alarmingly what about penguin bars

Pasta - i think you will find i already said that in my post of 13:43.

trying to claim my glory.

Oh appologies tall one!
