    I lived for nearly eight years in Cornwall in the late fifties and sixties from the age of six. Great place to grow up. I've been back twice (from Australia) in the last few years. It's interesting that you like the food in the UK when there's a bit of an urban myth that the food there is no good. My wife and I have travelled through Europe and parts of Asia and I've always found the food in the UK as good as, if not better than anywhere else.

      The myth or stereotype came about during the 50's when there was still food shortages and rationing after the war so processed food started to become a thing, sausages with low meat content, bangers etc, and so as you can imagine there was a lot of horrible cheap and nasty stuff inner city people had to eat to survive, the more rural might have still had traditional nice food but the foreigners were only exposed to the mass produced processed city shit when visiting so they went home and said we all eat garbage.

    My maternal grandmother was Cornish. She made pasties, but never as huge as the one you bought! Pasties used to have savoury (diced lamb, root veg, onions) at one end, and jam at the other (for pudding for the miners' lunch). The thick, edging pastry was used to hold the pasty with dirty hands, and was thrown away or given the pit ponies.

    • @lindathomas5500

      Hate to tell you, lamb was never used in pasties, always been skirt beef because it was the cheapest cut! Lamb was something most Cornish couldn’t afford!
      Maybe your grandmother made it that way but as a Rowe who can trace her ancestors back to the 14th century, let me just tell you that was not the ingredients!

    I'm so glad that you tried a real Cornish pasty in Cornwall. I lived on the borders of Devon and Cornwall for years, and I'm convinced that the tastiest pasties are made in Cornwall. You can get them all over the UK, but somehow the ones made where they originated are the best. The seasoning is just extra flavoursome in Cornwall, there should be a pepperiness about them. A similar example is black pudding - I've had it all over the UK, but the best ones come from up north. Sausage rolls are an anytime type of food, and yes, just about always eaten with hands.

    Fun to see another American discovering beautiful Cornwall. We haven't been there since 2009, but we loved it. My husband and I enjoyed a savory and a sweet pasty in the Gwennap Pit together that we bought at a bakery. The Geevor Tin Mining museum is a must if you go to Cornwall. The old mining equipment is displayed in the most beautiful ways. Love Falmouth even got a life bird there a black legged kittiwake. In St Ives we visited the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden and The Leach Pottery studio. All those lovely old kilns with the layers and layers of glazes peeking through from many years of artists at work. The Minack Theatre is an fantastic experience and was built by an incredible woman not too far from St. Ives. Driving through the tall hedgerows on the narrow road there we are amazed we didn't hit anything. Might have scared some people though. We saw Othello there which was really first rate. The views are amazing; words can't do the place justice. My Dad used to tell me how his Cornish grandfather after immigrating to upper Michigan with his siblings and parents used to make pasty's. I drug my husband around to many Cornish cemeteries to try and find my Dad's ancestors. He was amazed at all the history. So much history every where you turn. Enjoyed your video and seeing some of these places again after many years. Just discovered your video. It was a lot of fun to watch.

    When I was younger (1970s) the butcher used to make pasties that were 'meat and sweet' - meat and potatoes at one end and an apple turnover at the other separated by a blob of pastry - he always claimed these were the original way pasties were done, but this was in London and that might be a myth - but I used to love getting them and eating them at my grandparent's house.

Keep up the brilliant work making the great videos. I believe in an previous video you mentioned that you are visiting York? If so, its also worth going to visit Pickering and travelling on the Steam Train to Goathland, as the station there was the used in the Harry potter movies as 'Hogsmeade Station'.

      Mrs Kirkhams crumbly Lancashire is one of my favourite cheeses and the only Lancashire cheese still made with raw unpasteurised milk, that's what makes it so tasty I suspect. I buy it in booths and also Bowland cheese which is Lancashire cheese with cinnamon, raisin and apple in it. Booths are only in the North west, I think. They are like Waitrose but specialise more in regional produce, maybe they sell the cheese in Waitrose, there's no Waitrose near me, we have Booths instead, there is one in the next city over but that's a 20 to 30 min train ride. I wish it wasn't shut at 4pm on sunday, I could do with a proper dry west country cider right now, not one of these fashionable medium or fruity sweet jobbies they sell everywhere else.

      West *Penarth* surely? 🤔

      Tea Shop scene I think? The next most recognizable scene involves a red phone box that can be found out at Bampton (about 10 miles from Penrith)
      The last notable link to films I can think of would be Greystoke Castle for "Tarzan, The Legend of Greystoke" although I'm not sure if it was filmed there.
      Glenridding village beside Ullswater Lake was the main location for filming the gritty TV series "The Lakes" (starring John Sim) as well as scenes in Pooley Bridge at the northern end of the Lake.
      Sharrow Bay Hotel overlooking the Lake is known to be one of the most exclusive hotels in Cumbria.
      There's a Lancaster Bomber at the bottom of the lake, although it's too deep for anyone to reach it without specialised diving equipment or a sub. The lake was named after a Norse Viking raider "ULF" who claimed it as his own upon discovery. The lakes where formed by glacial drift in the ice age, carving out the landscape.

    I would view the sausage roll you tried as an upmarket version. The more traditional ones just have a smaller filling of sausage, like the width of a normal sausage within the pastry, so definitely a food to be eaten using your fingers. Those ones that have mostly sausage and less pastry might be more difficult to eat using your fingers.

Your tastebuds will go crazy if you've never had it before. Also be sure to try a treacle sponge pudding or sticky toffee pudding both with custard, but try not to get the tiny readymade ones unless there is no other option, and AVOID the Haggis at all costs, it's definitely an acquired taste.

    Ok, when you get to York, the Railway museum is a must. You'll be in there for hours! If you like fancy teas, Betty's tea room is the very upmarket, Art Deco style service. You'll have to ring and book a time, as at this time of year, it gets very busy. The walk along the walls, York Minster, the Shambles, Clifford's tower, and the Yorvik Viking centre. The tourist guides will tell you all the "must see's". Plus, you get to stay in the capital of God's own county, as declared by the very modest, and humble people of Yorkshire also known as Tykes, or from those from less worthy counties, as tightwads. Enjoy your visit.
