Greggs the baker is being forced to change the name of its best-selling Cornish pasty under new EU laws because the product contains peas and carrots.
The new rules mean manufacturers must follow the traditional recipe of beef, potatoes, onions, swede and seasoning, if they wish to use the name. [
]
Cornish pasties were awarded Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in 2011 after a lengthy campaign by the Cornish Pasty Association to see their delicacys name protected.
Protected Geographical Indication status prevents anything that is made outside the designated region from using the traditional name.

I thought a pastie was what a stripper, back in the 1950s and 60s, used to cover her.. ah...never mind.

That’s your prerogative. But banning them is beyond hate.

They are still available in the “Pasty belt”, which basically consists of the mining regions of the Michigan UP, Minnesota’s iron range and the Black Hills of South Dakota. They basically followed the Cornish tin miners who came to the US after these mines had played out there in the later part of the 1800s.

Can you not guess for one inch that I am kidding? I am not disputing the right of the Cornish to name their pasties anything they want. Take a breather.

Is PGI the reason you no longer see - or rarely see - “Burgundy” wine on the shelves?
To: DManA
“Swede” is Cornish slang for “turnip”. I’ve had them when over there in the Military: For BRITISH food, they’re not bad. . .
