Okay, so this is interesting and all, but what I really wanna know is, what’s the best pasty OUTSIDE of Cornwall?

Pasties by post recommendations absolutely fine too - have at it!

Been happy with Philps, also grabbed a box of frozen pasties from Costco the other week and they're good.

Just checked - flaky pastry for me - has to be shortcrust

Swedish turnip or simply turnip as the Scots and most cornish call it is the only accepted choice.

Pretty sure Scots call 'em "neeps"...

They are shortcrust. Also just seen they supply the national trust.

You cannot (under protected status) make a Cornish pasty anywhere else than Cornwall. A 'Cornish' pasty made in Hampshire is just a pasty.

Like Melton Mowbray pork pies can only come from there.

My mistake they’re made in Cornwall but the company is registered in Hampshire. Corrected my post but you beat me.

I probably belong in the council thread. But I just love the Cornish Bakery.

Well having spent 3 years up there ensconced with a native in a past life I think I know! ...they don't go into the brand farm shop and ask for a neep. Although tbf Edinburgh folk and haddingtonshireites are a wee bit more effected than the rest, at least those in my circles. Maybe in Tranent or Prestonpans.

When greggs cane to Truro it was a licensing condition(not sure licensing is the correct term) not to sell pasties.

At least what I was told by a councillor! Maybe same in Devon?

Philps are not flaky pastry.

If you want a flaky one st ives bakery do an ok one. But pretty greasy

My apologies the link I looked at stated 'flaky' but turns out they offer both flaky (which aint traditional Cornish) and shortcrust

Calm down mate!! On reflection, I should have written "many" Scots call 'em "neeps", as I was recalling a conversation with a friend of mine (RIP) who had to clarify wtf he was talking about on the subject. I wrote that some Scots say "neeps" in response to, "...as the Scots and most Cornish call it...". Maybe you should have written, "...as most Scots and Cornish call it...", if you were aware of the word, for clarity.

I wrote "pretty sure" in order that someone could clarify, as I am quite happy to be corrected. Thank you for correcting me so pleasantly and for the to roundly finish off such an important point. I am staggered, as I did not know that you had taken such a tremendous amount of time and effort - by speaking to every Scot - in order to establish whether everyone did or did not say "neeps". That is truly a great effort and my apologies for impinging on your chosen subject. Well, your day did finally come, and I stand corrected..., sort of.

But even then you have to be careful. In their shop they sell two types, white wrapper and blue wrapper, with only the white being made in melton Mowbray as the blue wrapped are made outside the town and sold to supermarkets

Annes pasties Helston deliver


Philps pasties too

Both have online portals

How well do these store at home, would freezing them also spoil them?

[Jordie Barretts sock]

No, they are delivered frozen. Absolutely fine. Cook from frozen too.

Yeh, don't get any mass produced ones!

Best bet is from a small bakery / deli or something, it will be obvious they are hand made...

I had a good one in Fowey "Kittows of Fowey" butcher....

Stanley Tucci agrees with me!

Rowes, from Truro I think, available all round Devon and Cornwall. I always get one when I see one.

Agree. Lovely pasties - they do a great beef chilli one too.

Excellent service from them.

When you say outside of Cornwall, what do you mean?

Just a note on this….
