arb shop in Cornwall?........ or Devon?

[normandylumberjack]

Its impossible to have a conversation about Cornwall without the discussion turning into a pasty debate, although recent research indicates the pasty might have actually originated from Devon.

But the Cornish get very aggressive when you mention this to them:001_rolleyes:

 

How dare you, I would kill you for such a slur:001_tt2:

About 15 years ago I was at college in Callington near to where they are "made" and their vans would head out at night scouring the A30 for road kill, just ask your self, how much road kill do you see on the A30 between Bodmin moor and Oakhampton????? not a lot.

 

Hi NLJ,

 

I know Callington, used to live in the area about 25 years ago & there were plenty of rumours about what was going on!

Here's another reason why there's no road kill on A39:

 

 

I don't fancy much for the cats chances! Seriously weird!!

Former head chef at Ginsters, you mark my words!

 

Don't travel on the moor at night, and for gods sake, don't break down or worse, get knocked over near Davidstow airfield!

I actually found that a very interesting watch! I don't intend to eat roadkill myself but can definitely see his logic behind it.

The above closed down and auctioned off all stock a couple of weeks ago.

 

Your only option is abbey in tavistock/Plymouth. All though they have moved location in tavi and not updated their address anywhere, so probably best to go to Plymouth or ring first. Personally wouldn't give them the business tho...

 

Still open until dec 31st,illness related closure

There are too many good pasty shops in Cornwall to decide which is best , Philps, Pellows Premier pasties , Rowes etc but easy to decide the worst Ginsters !!! I think roadkill would improve the taste !!

I've been told by a pretty reliable source that Malcolm barnecutt in Bodmin make superb pasties.

about 30yrs ago i was working down there on that airfieild digging up parts of the old airfield making way for tree planting and the mist came down one afternoon and it was quite spooky i thought about the

''hounds of the baskervilles'' and the moors murderers

but i didd'nt know about the pasty murderers :thumbup:
