When it comes to cream teas is it jam first or cream first.If you get it wrong you`ll be blacklisted from Cornwall forever!

When I was in the Mob we used to reckon anyone from Cornwall was a Spaniard !!! Our MQ used to have a direct view of the Tamar and Albert Bridges.. If we hadn't of moved to Dorset we would of probably ended up in Saltash.

The Cornish Pastie was pre-dated by the Bedfordshire Clanger. This is usually savory and known as a alf 'n' alf when both savoury and sweet (usually apple or jam) at different ends. The NT used to sell them but now do sausage rolls - I now belong to English Heritage! 😎

cowparsley profile image
cowparsley in reply toMichaelJH

I`m not sure but there is some debate in Cornwall but this sweet and savoury pasty was an urban myth.Can you corroborate.Pleasexx

MichaelJH profile image
MichaelJHHeart Star in reply tocowparsley

The NT used to sell them in Bedfordshire. Some say they actually originated as the Hertfordshire Clanger! For the twin it is usually pork and apple.

you are a mine of information Michael.x

There is a small Hertfordshire village that claims it made the first one but I am dubious. In areas of East Hertfordshire (e.g. Collier's End) there was open cast mining and lime Cornish tin mines it makes sense in eat the clanger/pasty and chuck the edge held in dirty hands.

There is a Cornish Independence Party, but it hasn’t had much success. Most Cornish people hadn’t noticed that they WERE ruled from Westminster!
