Cornish crimp is a thick roll of pastry around the side- I believe so the miners could hold their pasties with filthy hands and eat their lunch. 

Devon being perhaps more the land of the ploughman rather rather than the miner put the crimp along the top of the pasty. There is no thick wedge of pastry, rather the sides are brought up together in a simple crimp. 

 

Of course all the above is irrelevant anyway as they are now saying the ‘cornish’ pasty originated from Devon anyway!

I see myself as being a Devon crimpy sort of guy I think. Not fond of  too much pastry on it's own. I'm learning a lot here!

Will, if you get nothing else sorted before you arrive, house, work, car, school for the bin lids.... For the love of God, do some boffing up on oggy-knowledge.

 

“Helluvagood” is a fairly recent arrival on the local scene at St Ive (just outside Liskeard) Pasties are mediocre but sausage rolls are the undisputed CHAMPIONS of the world and bacon/egg pie is a beaut!

I'll be indulging. Where would you recommend that's local for a real banger of a pasty then?
