Having Holidayed in Cornwall last year I can safely say the Pasties there are huge

 

[Bora Natty]

Out of curiosity, what would a nice pasty cost?

Not exactly a Cornish Pastie but years ago when I was a kid I stayed at a friend's house and his mother made us Apple Turnovers to take to school for lunch. I had a plastic lunch box that was about 8 inches (20 cm) long and about 6 inches (15 cm) wide. She had to cut the Turnover halfway along to fit it in.

Pasties originally were savoury at one end and sweet at the other, the large hard extra pastry part was added so that miners could hold it without getting coal dust all over it when they ate it.

Last year a large one in Cornwall was over 4 pounds. On Waterloo Station in August they were selling them for over 7 pounds

Not sure Tony would be a fan, the famous and still produced version of the sweet/savoury pastie , the Clanger, was produced in Bedfordshire not Cornwall!

It's ok Captain, the education will do him good.
