Oh my oh my Sue Ann, I know a man who would like those pasties too ... it would be a hard choice for him though! :crackup:
Here is a brief history of the Cornish pasty ... courtesy of www.cornwall-online.co.uk
"The pasty originally evolved to meet the needs of tin mining, that other great, but now sadly declined, Cornish industry. A hearty meal wrapped in a pastry casing made for a very practical lunch (or "croust" , as they used to call it ) down in the dark and damp tunnels of the mine. Some mines even built huge ovens on the surface to keep the miner's pasties hot until it was time to eat.
Tradition has it that the original pasties contained meat and vegetables in one end and jam or fruit in the other end, in order to give the hard-working men 'two courses'. Cornish housewives also marked their husband's initials on the left-hand side of the pastry casing, in order to avoid confusion at lunchtime. This was particularly useful when a miner wished to save a 'corner' of his pasty until later, or if he wanted to leave a corner for one of the 'Knockers'. The Knockers were the mischievous 'little people' of the mines, who were believed by the miners to cause all manner of misfortune, unless they were placated with a small amount of food, after which they could prove to be a source of good luck."

Laurie Lou BearsIt looks a lovely place to visit Paula-I have it on my list of places to visit. 
We usually go up north to North Yorkshire for our holidays but being in Norfolk we always seem miles from anywhere and the routes out of Norfolk are so slow. 
Laurie :hug:
So pleased you've all enjoyed the photos! It's fun to share them with you ... the world is so big it's good to see what is out there when you can't visit in person!
