I loved it and ate them for a week. I was staying near porthleven close to helston. I live in christchurch/bournemouth and for years have longed for a local person to make a proper pasty but unfortunatly they are all extremely poor. They nearly allways insist there's are genuine but as far as i am concerned they should allways be made of a shortcrust pastry not a horrible greasy soggy falling apart flaky type pastry. Mostly i throw them away in disgust. SURELY you need the firm crust of a short pastry to enable it to be held and eaten as the miners would have done. We even had a new shop open calling themselves the cornish pasty shop and all there's are flaky too. Am I wrong did I just have the only decent pasty in cornwall ( the ship inn in porthleven ) I realise now I have to make my own so has anyone a recipe for the sort of pastry I am looking for.
