So this is what the faceless bureaucrats have been up to. The European Commission has just ruled that anything calling itself a Cornish pasty will have to come from Cornwall. Telling us not only where a Cornish Pasty can be made but also what can be in it and on which side the crust should be. Total waste of time and money.
Is this what we pay them to do ? i.e. sit in Brussels, or wherever it is they hide, generating pointless rules and regulations.
This is a joke.
These are presumably the same time wasters that are telling us that cucumber can’t be curved, that our chocolate can’t be called chocolate and that our sausages can’t be called sausages.
Surely, the consumer is king in this situation. If we like it we’ll eat it. If we don’t like it……!!!
Personally I love pasties when they are made properly and for the record, My Mum made the best ever pasty and she was Sussex born and bred. So I couldn’t give a stuff where they are made so long as they taste good.
Cornish pasty given EU protected status – Telegraph.

Hear Hear! Mums pasties were the beez neez. Blooming bunch of idiots. Why can’t they spend their time and energy on important things and leave us alone!!!!
