Oooh. I'll have to visit that shop newt time I go to Copenhagen - which I rarely do though, as there are way too many people and way to few trees.

Well, when you do visit, and if you do sample the delights of the Cornish Pasty, please be sure to report back.

For comparison, a decent pasty will set you back between £1 and £2 in Cornwall, unless you go to the tourist hot spots where you can double those prices. :)

One for the Cornish members: isn't there some woman down on the Lizard Penisula who makes "Pasties" and has been doing so for years? I believe that she crimps the things over the top and will have to stop calling her products "Pasties" since the EU protected product status?

And while we're on the subject - where do you reckon that you can get the best Pasty in Kernow? On the mass produced front I'd say that the offerings from the West Cornwall Pasty Co. seem to be pretty good but they don't seem to have an outlet in Cornwall.

A phrase which is likely to land you a ban or a severe reduction in your post count if you were to repeat it. ;) :p
