      Let me shatter that dream for you, no they don't like them, so no difference with the name protected or not.
      Another delusion of Erikur is, he thinks he speaks for all foreigners and their love/hate of pasties (in all their flavours) thereof.
      Let me shatter that dream for you, no you don't, whether you think so or not.

              The cornish pasty was originally made with savoury on 1 side and sweet on the other.

              The pastry was so thick because you were not supposed to eat, as the pasty was the staple food of the cornish tin miners and often their hands were covered in various 'toxins' and they were not able to wash them so you would eat all of the pasty except the bit you held.

              Now you can get crap pasties from various 'The Cornish Pasty Co' vans parked at various service stations and rail stations - or your some greasy limp thing from your local Greggs/Sayers.

              But suffice to say

                Some of the food counters in the city supermarkets sell a conconction that's rather like a mini-pastie. Great in the morning if you're feeling a little jaded from the night before.
                Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
