- Genuine Cornish Pasties. The Cornish Pasty Association is a group of more than 50 pasty makers based in Cornwall formed in 2002 to protect the quality and reputation of the Cornish Pasty.
The Association is applying for European protected status for the Cornish Pasty and has lodged an application for Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status. If the application is successful it will mean that only pasties made in Cornwall, to a traditional recipe and manner can legally be called Cornish pasties.
The Cornish Pasty Association has produced this film to support its PGI application and to emphasise the importance of the Cornish Pasty to the county. The film looks at the history and heritage of the Cornish Pasty as well as showing how a genuine Cornish Pasty is made.
I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the United States. In the late 1800's and early 1900's many men from Cornwall immigrated here to work in the iron and copper mines. They brought the pasty with them. We have many bakeries that sell them and most households make them on a regular basis. Thank you Cornwall for your gift to us!
Can't beat a proper Cornish Pasty. This lady has just demonstrated the perfect Cornish pasty. Beautiful!
I'm from London and I would always eat a cornish pastie as a lunchtime snack.....
I went on a unexpected visit to Cornwall once, and there I tried a traditional local pastie, and oh my what a difference...!!! They pastie in Cornwall is much bigger in size compered to the ones in London very much meatier and filling. It's heaven on a plate.
I now take annual holidays in and around Cornwall just for the pastie I will admit.
Heidi Anne Morris.. being a keen rambler I can remember visiting traditional local shops and pubs and being served a huge cornish pastie, and a pint of scrumpy after long sightseeing walks around Penzance. Cornwall is an excellent place for a British holiday. I'm so glad to discover England's hidden beauty by the West coast much better than Brighton for Londoners. There's surfing in Cornwall also. I just love the beautiful scenenary. Made me cry with happiness
mark that makes you a true foodie
I went to Cornwall as a kid and remember the ice cream was much nicer there too. Even buying a tub of supposed "Cornish ice cream" later on in London wasn't the same all & I suspect was just pretend Cornish Ice cream made in a garage in Peckham or somewhere, the same goes for clotted cream.
My great nan and nan both made the best cornish pastys would love coming back down to Cornwall and she would bring out a whole tray. Very many pastys compare and I agree the ones with pgi right in morrisons ect are nothing like a proper cornish pasty
this stuff gets me up and going!
I was a cook on a survey ship and we worked out of Padstow. Now i asked the lady about the pasty and she showed me how to make them and i have ever made it as she showed me. Thanks again.
They are bloody gorgeous tbf. When I’m on holiday in Cornwall I stay on a farm where the owner makes pasties twice a week. I also scoff them in the bakery in the town nearby! Meur ras my Cornish friends for your culinary gift to the world :)
I now feel very homesick, Kernow forever!!
very nice and comprehensive explanation of the pasty. Maybe you could add a segment with very proud sewer workers who are glad to properly manage what becomes of the pasty after it is eaten. Great Job!!
we love them in Ireland too. big respect to cornwall
That’s a real surprise Michael, but I’m glad to hear you say it ! My Wexford wife says Irish people don’t “....eat pastry on meat...” ?? They will eat pastry on anything else particularly if it’s sweet !! I thought she was making it up to start with, but when I go fishing in Connemara you can’t buy a Cornish pasty or pork pie in the local shops !
in the XIX Century around 1824 - 1849, There were English miners that worked at local silver mines most of them from Cornwall, and they left the recipe and we call them "Paste" whereas the original recipe filling (Meat and potatoes) are still being made, have introduced local flavors, some are awesome, some others are bland and dull.
It is a successful growing restaurant industry and have grown a lot in the past 3 decades, and they have open a lot of locations in the near cities and even other near states. I had trouble placing the correct birth of said pasty, I'm glad to have find it here. Greetings from Mexico.
And this Scotsman loves his Genuine Cornish Pasties, Could not get any in Australia, so now we make our own. Great one Cornwall.
Elaine has a right set of pasties herself. :-)
Every pasty I come across outside of Cornwall tastes like cardboard. I've never really liked pasties much but when I went to Cornwall I ended up having about 4 while I was there. They are delicious.
Just happened to be watching this vid feeling a bit homesick and on pops my dad and dog!

I'm from IL, USA, and had a pasty 35 years ago while visiting the UK. LOVED IT, and only in the past few years learned how to make them (cannot call them CORNISH pastys since they are not made in Cornwall , but follow the recipe - dough made with flour, salt, butter, lard - and filling it with rutabaga(swede), onion, potato and skirt steak chopped up. I've given a few to coworkers at the library where I work, and they loved them!
Have given out the recipe, but I'm careful to not call them CORNISH pasties - location different, but the recipe is the same!
We make CORNISH pasties here in South Australia. From a recipe dating back to the 1870s. There are more people in South Australia with a Cornish heritage than there are in Cornwall. So, we will still call our pasties Cornish.
"Turnip or we call it swede in Cornwall"... strange thing to say. A British turnip is a small, white (with a bit of purple skin) vegetable. A Swedish turnip (or "swede") is a larger, yellowish (with a bit of dark red skin) vegetable in the same family. There should be no "we call it this, you call it that". It's quite clear what's what.
I agree!!! If it ain't made in Cornwall then it ain't Cornish Pastie. I've had one in the England and that was already fabulous. I can't imagine the ones in Cornwall!
i'm in kentucky on holiday and making cornish pasties,most have tried that thing starting with g and they wont touch them again, three cheers for the cornish pastie
You have to "Own" and Handle Your BRAND
5he best Cornish pasties in Australia are made in Ardrossan.
Really enjoyed the video. But. . .
Agree 100% with any comments regarding shop-bought pasties, but there is no equalling a home-made Cornish pasty wherever a Cornishman might have been forced to go to in the world over the years - and business people should not be making those rules!
A taste from home that those of us that have been forced to leave our beloved county, permanently or for a short time, can enjoy and be proud to make our own Cornish Pastys using mum's recipe wherever we are!
My mother who used to live at Rose Hill, Goonhavern made her Pasties the same as this, as did my Grandmother but they used to add a little butter on the top before crimping over the top for more gravy. I remember they used to be size of your foot and I used to eat them sitting on the back doorstep with my Granddad Windsor and I'm talking about the late 1950's. Lots of Lard used in the pastry and a pan of clotted cream simmering on the stove. If anyone can post a recipe for Saffron bread It would be most appreciated. my Auntie Val made the best
paggodiablo01 what a wonderful memory ♥ :D
I Have an old recipe book from Cornwall with recipes from the 1800’s, I’ll see if I can find it
I noticed even shops that sell pasties call them traditional now and not Cornish.
This is the good stuff
I wish I could get them in the states
+Pepper Arden I just made 12 of them.. come to Buffalo NY I will give you one!! They are not that hard to make really..just takes time to let the dough chill but I chopped the veggies while it was chilling!
+Pepper Arden Come on - Get cooking!
Pepper Arden I have only found one place a little place in Sacramento, CA 20 years ago called the Pasty Shack on 49th and J st.
Pepper Arden A lot of tin miners went to Illinois, you can get Pasties there.
Simple to make if you can chop vegetables and use store pastry... and of course are not lazy
Let’s be very clear on this. Nearly all the hand made pasty recipes one sees on these videos are the four usual ingredients layered as they should be and this is how we do it at home. However, nearly all commercially made pasties are a pre-made, homogeneous mixture of meat (and little of it) and veg which is not the same. This is quite obvious from this video seen here. I am not saying they taste bad, but they are not the same or as good as the handmade ones, particularly from small specialist bakeries as seen here.
How can raw ingredients cook ?
Wrong my friend, it's incredibly hard to find a Cornish pasty! The minute I leave home I'm presented with all sorts of god forsaken muck trying to pass off as one of our own! People from Cornwall know exactly what I'm talking about!
I'm quite a good baker....But am just about to attempt my first attempt at making a traditional Cornish Pasty....In Surrey. I know the drill: Butter and Lard for the pastry. Paul Hollywood off the Bake off programme recommended Suet and Margarine (or some spread like Flora...Idiot!)
Now I love suet. But suet is from the fats around the bits in cows and sheep, whereas lard is from pigs. I shall try both and see if I can spot the difference.
BUT I have eaten hundreds of pasties... whilst in Cornwall and none has come close to this. My family were on a beach on the Lizard peninsula...I can't remember its name. There was a small cabin, owned by the National Trust, at the top of the beach and people were queuing. There were just two ladies forming, cooking and serving up these things.... Never had a pasty like that before or since. It was like eating a Sunday roast, cooked to perfection, whilst gazing at the sea. Not a pea or carrot in sight. lol....Pasty fans will understand this. God bless Cornwall :)
The pasty should be protected and be a genuine Cornish recipe, best one I had was in St Ives, many years ago.
@bowler8
Hi. Go to the Cornish Pasty Association website. The PDF recipe is on the page with the video on how to make a pasty.
Cheers
Pasty: noun, a folded pastry case with a savory filling, typically of seasoned meat and vegetables. Roll Credits!
I TOTALY AGREE APART FROM GINGSTERS,EATEN MANY A PASTY IN CORNWALL LIVED THERE FOR MANY YEARS MOVED AWAY DUE TO MADNESS I THINK, I MISS HER TERRIBLY
I make my own and they're delicious! Not difficult at all.
+supergran1000 just made a dozen too. you are right, they are not that difficult..just meat, potato, rutabaga and onion..a little salt, pepper and thyme..this video was very helpful to show how to twist the dough around them tho.. most recipes I've seen just use a fork to crimp edges..I made a double batch so I can wrap with foil put in baggies and freeze so next time I will just thaw and bake!
+JewelsFromVenus Yum! Hope you enjoy them! I always place a knob of butter on top of the beef for added succulence.
Cornish pasty awarded Protected food Status!
Do you have the recipe for the pastry?
3:10 I see the Farmer says he supplies the main ingredients for the pasties, nothing mentioned about Local Cornish butter though. Could that be because the pasty shops all use cling film (Margarine) instead? th-cam.com/video/tSZNsYT3I-Y/w-d-xo.html
the best oggys are in cornwall and thats a fact as i'v lived here all my life and cornish at blood
Malcolm Merriweather sent me.
Malcolm put plum pudding in one end of his so you could work your way through to the dessert.
Will be in Penzance for the first time in a few weeks (from USA). Any chance that I can get a gluten free pastie??
No.
Found one in Mousehole.
I HAVE CELIAC DISEASE YOU NITWIT. I CAN"T HAVE WHEAT.
Thanks for the warm welcome to the official site of Cornish Pasty by a fundamentalist prig. Fortunately the people I met in Cornwall were most welcoming to my visit and my need for a decent meal without a sermon about a disease I inherited from my Cornish grandfather. And to think that Americans are the ones who have the reputation for being rude. You don't represent your heritage well.
+L Dean Richards you can eat wheat gluten but you won't be able to digest it for nutrients, make sure you eat some vitamin K or you might get Pellagra
@PhantomAct Philps Philps in Hayle, Foundry Square (or Marazion or Praze-an-Beeble). Avoid Ginsters, repeat avoid
Best I ever had were bought from a bakers shop part way up Chywoone Hill, Newlyn. I think it was Eddy and sons.
@@peterdurnien9084 Must have been sometime ago. They closed years back
@@WhitewashTheThird Yep, I have not been back to Cornwall since my friend died.
True recipe, never chunks always slices.
Propperly prepared veg in this report, sliced not chunks. Cornish mate of mine always used shin of beef.
I thought "swede" was also called "turnip" in Cornwall...
Yeah a lot of confusion in Scotland too. My dad called swede turnip but a turnip is a turnip and a swede is a cross between a turnip and a cabbage. I'm not sure how kohlrabi fit in to all this as I'm led to believe that its also a cross between a cabbage and a turnip?
Shouldn't he have a hair and beard net when making pasties?
This film is wrong on several points. 1.Swede is called turnip in Cornwall, not the other way round. 2. Each layer of the pasty should be seasoned, not just the top of the beef. 3. There should be another light layer of turnip and potato on top of the beef to make the pasty gravy. Why is Mrs. Eade still regurgitating the nonsense about holding the crimp, even while showing old photos of miners eating pasties wrapped in paper or cloth, end to end? Of course these are commercial, 'boughten' pasties and I'm describing the real, homemade variety made by Cornishwomen all over the world, for their families for centuries past.
I'm a Lad from Plymouth. We used to call em' Cornish Nasties.
That was jealousy. I live up North now and cook a proper Cornish regular.
cool
Surely if cornish is in your blood then its a cornish pasty?
And its made to a traditional family recipe?
Let's see how many people know the mining chant properly and can complete this!
OGGY OGGY OGGY!...
If I'm cornish I take it I don't need pgi rights?
Wholly support this notion
Thanks ,now I can make it from the pro.. I never had enough...
Short crust or rough
Short but it’s made with strong (bread flour) and kneaded more than ordinary pastry. It is quite chewy and not crumbly - delicious with the meat juices all soaked in. Yummm
I have a video up on my channel on how I make them.
Oh please! People in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, USA, make great pasties!! People adapt things to the area and ingredients available within their area. 😍💖
Excellent video and Historical beginnings of the Pasty!👍😋😊💕💕
Can we order online? Do you ship to the USA?? Yours look scrumptious and THE BEST looking ones!!❤
AMEN! Can't be a Cornish Pasty if not made in Cornwall. I make pasties here in USA at home with the same ingredients but do not call them Coronish.
I've been making pastys for some 60 years. I remember my name sake starting making pastys in Swanpool street Falmouth in the early 50's. What is turned out now is a disgrace to the name Cornish Pasty. The best example I have tasted in recent years was Phelps at Marazion.
coming from Plymouth I,ve been raised on proper pasties,my first was in sellecks in ebrngton street also ivor dewdneys aren,t bad.I agree entirely with londongamer,ginsters are just about in cornwall,callington,why should they keep harping on about being honest,has someone said they aren,t?I wouldn,t touch any of their products.There are loads of good small pasty shops in cornwall,I,ve tried as many as I can,you cant beat a FRESH baked pasty weather its baked in cornwall or devon
It can’t beat a Scottish bridie!!
Ginsters? Purveyors of nasties, not pasties...
An excellent opportunity to establish a local protected pie business, The Walthamstow "wanger". Brummie "bungholers", Sloane Ranger "patisserie a la gauche:....😁 And Yorkshire pudding has to be made in Yorkshire....
Sorry something not quite right in what the lady said. We call swede, turnip in Cornwall not vise versa. There is only one person who can make pasties and that's a Cornish gran---who we are all sadly losing never to be replaced!!
I be a Devon maid living oop North, and it's true G pasties are an abomination. And they're made in Cornwall! How can it be so easy to muck up a historic pastry with only 4 ingredients? True it's difficult to buy a good 'boughten' pasty. I should make them more often but I've become lazy so am going to order some of Choughs. They look the real thing. Can't wait to try them (-:
HI EVERYONE
Potatoes, onions, swedes and cows grown in Devon are really different, they just don't taste the same... LOL... what a racket
Only people from Yorkshire can make Yorkshire pudding....
Make it a law that you can't say 'Warrens'.
Neil Gaiman sent me here.
Well I guess that if the only 'real' Cornish Pasty has to be made in Cornwall then the only 'real' Yorkshire Pudding has to be made in Yorkshire and judging by some of the pathetic excuses for a Yorkshire pud I have seen this is no bad thing!
Yorkshire can keep it. Is there anything more pointless than Yorkshire pudding?
EHRMAGHERD!!! KERNERSH PERSHTERS!!!!
Thats so funny HAHAHAHHAAH
Nah you're ok, real swearing is using the 'C' word in reference to Kernow's status. They should say 'duchy' instead :P
It's a stab in the heart of every celtic Cornishman
OI OI OI ..and I'm from the U.S.
an me
NOICE
I hate the ones they sell in supermarkets etc, made with mince meat. Should not be banned.
well all i can say wish mum could still bake best horse jockey helston or philps hayle open sundays
Never ard t'find a good pasty ye say, all pasty's outsider Kernow'll bleddy make a Cornishman SICKS A DOG.
I saw that too and was shocked. How badly can one fuck up a Cornish Pasty? Minced beef instead of skirt steak and as you said American yellow rubber and chilli on top, no thank you. Americans need to stay the hell away from Pasties.
more like and empanada, really nothing like tacos or burritos

This seems a little biased and the people shown are slightly fanatical. Why does a cornish pasty "have" to be made in cornwall? What if I made a pasty using the exact ingredients and recipe 10 miles outside of cornwall? Suddenly it isn't a cornish pasty even though it is literally identical? I know they want to protect their business, but it makes no sense. If we use that logic, suddenly we can't have indian takeaway, it has to be labeled "indian style".
