We have all seen the Cornish pasty in it’s many forms, with it’s various ingredients. Well, this may all be coming to a head now as Cornwall is seeking EU recognition for it’s most famous culinary export, except for Rick Stein of course. On the 14th July 2010, an application was made to secure Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) from the Europeans. Basically, this means that if they are successful, only pasties produced within the geographical area of Cornwall can be called a Cornish Pasty.

It does not stop there, the ingredients and method of production would also be controlled. This may finally finish the timeless argument once and for all … There are no carrots in a real Cornish Pasty.
