Hi Cornish Terrier: No Australian influence for the meat pies, just some sort of British recipe, I think, and modified I'm sure.

There should be splits,jam and cream,not scones,jam and cream.
Don't forget: jam before cream. Ever tried thunder and lightning?

One of the things I enjoyed when over in Cornwall was seeing all the different kinds of pasties in the shops. Far more variety than I would have expected.

G'day all, Tis the edible one here ;D I have a fabulous original Cornish Pasty recipe. I will type it in a day or so because I have to find the recipe to give you the exact ingredients. The pastry consists of Flour, Lard, salt and water and the filling is diced steak (rump), onions, turnips and potatoes. Being a "vegie" myself, I omit the meat and add some cheese. Will post it for you soon. Hugs CP

Why would anyone need a recipe to make a pasty?
All you have to do is rub the fat into the flour add water to mix and roll out.I have chuck steak,(for my husband)onion, potato, and turnip.Add salt and pepper,dot with butter and bake.
I have cheese instead of beef and I don't like swede in a pasty.

Crikey - Fussy, Fussy, Fussy I remember when I first visited Cornwall back in 1994 that I stayed for some time at Trenowin Farm, Ludgvan with my cousin Christopher and his wife Linda and two sons, Matthew and John. Christopher's mother used to make pasties once a week and bring over and it happened that I was to be there on more than one of these occasions. ;D I guess you have all heard about the way the old traditional pasty used to be marked so that each person knew which was which. Well that happened here also - young John did not like onion so his pasty had to be specially marked for him. The minutest hint of onion in a pasty and John would not eat it. Me - I love onion in my pasties and with steak and with tomatoes in sandwiches ...... I will try and get some of my recipes online sometime soon but have to 'get back to work' and help solve a few problems first.

My mother used to mark our pasties. If I found a bit of turnip in mine I used to take it out,but I would still eat the pasty.
I am a vegetarian.

Vegetables gotta live too! - but it is each to their own as far as I am concerned with 'tucker'. I like what I want to eat no matter what the dieticians and all their mates might have to say and recommend and I will eat what I feel like and when I feel like eating. But that is me who has worked shift-work all his life but still loves his 'good tucker'. The big problem nowadays is the amount of '(expletive deleted)' junk food that is 'thrown' at people these days. In years gone by you could go to the Take Away store (hamburger shop, fish and chip shop etc.) and probably get a pretty fair feed. And then came along the big Fast Food outlets and their advertisiing so that all kids want to eat is ....... And I see families come into the pub where I work and the order for the kids for tea is - Nuggets and Chips, mini Pizza and Chips. I will repeat that I eat when I feel like it and I will eat what I like at the time. (Often depends what's left in the fridge! ) However - I have now decided to sneak across the road to see if the Bakery might have a Pasty or two and maybe something as a follower as I cannot be (deleted) washing dishes and cooking just now. ;D SORRY - that seemed like another one of my 'think about something else' lectures.

Genie,
One DOES need a recipe to ensure you have the correct proportions, flour to fat etc.
