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?

after much research it would appear that battenburg isnt a place :(

what about turkey?

What about Lancashire hotpot

If you can only call it Lancashire hotpot if made in Lancashire then does that include the bits of Lancs that are no longer called Lancs.

Suggest he calls them Cornish-style pasties.

Dont get me started on Cheddar cheese,I have had many arguments with Americans and Canadians on other sites about that

Do you have to own sheep to make a Shepherds Pie??? Shit, I might get ARRESTED!

Danish pastry can't be a protected name, because real Danish pastries made in Denmark are called wienerbrød (Viennese bread) yum yum

Ha ha that's hysterical so Danish Pastry are actually called Viennese bread go figure

I have NEVER seen a Belgian Bun in Belgium. Never!

There is something vaguely similar but it is called a "couque suisse" here.

All you ever wanted to know about cakes....

Porto, I saw something similar in Delhaize a couple of days ago.
We never saw Swiss roll, it was always roullade or somesuch bollocks.

Luckily Belgian chocolates are real! Yum.

Tell him to call the pasties Oggies and honour will be satisfied all round, as they are called that in Devon and Cornwall.

This thread is making me hungry!
Time for a and a I think...

Obviously yanbu, I'd do it drectly. We Cornish look down on all of you up country folk, specially if you be from Bideford Town or London Village

This is hysterically funny. Cannot believe that anyone would even approach their butcher about some thing like that. Am quite scared of our local butcher, get nervous when he asks me about cuts of beef. He knows I know nothing, smirks when I ask for de-boned meat etc.

I think there should be a National Renaming of this savoury comestible to: the Dinosaur Pie (if the top of the pasty is crimped) or the Dinosaur Lying Down Pie, if pasty is side-crimped .

Or, perhaps Dead Dinosaur Pie would catch on for the side crimped pasty? (Gets coat. Leaves.)

BlackBag - my ILs think that St Austell is 'up country'! But then they are almost as far south west as you can go!

Yes you should report him to the Pasty Police, that is what they are there for eh??

He should call them Cornyish Pasty

What is that disgusting thing the American's call an English Muffin? We should insist they don't call it that as it offends out national pride.

And in all the years I've worked, and eaten, in France Iv'e never been offerd French toast.

Send the apostrophe police round to shoot me please (off nights and should have been in bed hours ago)
