This Cornish pastie has just arrived and I’m not sure whether to eat it in the motorway services tomorrow en route to Cumbria or for supper when we have arrived. It’s large enough perhaps to do both.

Cornish Cream!……..Cornish Cream! 😳 Proper Clotted Cream is made in Devon, and only Devon.
The Cornish attempt to produce the Devon invention…….The Pasty, but second best again. 👍

When I lived in Plymouth St Budeaux there were a number of Dewdney pasty shops in our vicinity and the Dockyard/Naval Base too. The pasties were very good, although at that time there wasn't a great deal of competition.

Is there such a thing as Devon cream as it is probably brought in from other counties just like Cornish pasties? After all there is no definite proof that the Cornish pasty originated in Cornwall. The main difference is that you can buy a very tasty Cornish pie in Scotland where it will probably be a lot cheaper than buying it in Cornwall. 
Go to a supermarket and buy a Spanish beer and if you check, it is probably brewed in England. If it tastes nice to me, I don't care where it originated.

It's an artificial political issue - probably starting with the French insisting that champagne can only be called that if made in the Champagne region.Is there such a thing as Devon cream as it is probably brought in from other counties just like Cornish pasties?

My clotted cream comes from the farm near us on the edge of Dartmoor, from Jersey cows, the same farm where I have bought my cream and milk for over 40 years. Supplies local shops and pubs also.
If you taste that, you won’t buy it from anywhere else. There is proper Devonshire Clotted Cream, then there is the rest. I would certainly never buy that Cornish rubbish, they must take it from a different part of the cow, because it tastes like, s***e!
Brought in from other counties my ar*e! You know not what you talk about. 🤷👍

Sorry, but to me cream is cream Devonshire or not as no taste difference! Only difference is price. Just to add, many years ago we had a large small holding right next to dairy farm so always fresh milk etc. In those days no such thing as milk from a supermarket as supermarkets were only a figment of an over active imagination. 🤣
It might be to you, your hardly an expert, but in reality they are a world apart, your taste buds must be absolutely shot! I hope you’re not one of these wine experts! 😳😂.
Are you telling me good local produce such as beef, lamb or pork tastes the same as the rubbish sold in supermarkets? 🤔
Supermarket meat is local to somewhere - so the concept of local means nothing - it's down to the quality of the product, not it's location.
Glad you think so, I would not touch the rubbish. I want to see it in a field or know it has been grazed on moorland before I eat it. Not to mention selling rubbish Venison from, of all places, New Zealand, When we are crawling with Deer! The venison sat in my freezer was obtained locally, and I know that for sure, because I shot it! As is the Pheasant breast, Partridge, Pigeon breasts and Rabbit.
“The concept of local means nothing” That seems a very strange statement, to me buying local means everything! Not always possible, but whenever I can……I do.
Supermarket meat! 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
Where there's good product, it's only local to a few people - to everyone else it comes from afar.

Unfortunately after a bout of radio therapy on my throat, my taste buds are now affected and to me cream is cream. However prior to that there was nothing wrong with them.
You are correct about where the meat comes from and the taste difference. We buy most of our meat from farm shops as find generally meat from supermarket is over priced and tasteless.
There is huge difference in taste between meat in SA and the UK as in SA, the cows eat natural stuff and are not force fed supplements etc. Even between SA and Rhodesia / Zimbabwe you could taste the difference in the meat and produce. However in my opinion the best beef used to come from Argentina. Not sure about now.

Our local butcher still still sources at least 60% of her meat from within a 20 mile radius. All bacon and hams are home cured. No white scum residue when grilled or fried.
The downside of course is price which will not suit everyone.
Animal husbandry is important to us. Animals caged , never seeing the light of day , are not on our menu but again we respect not everyone can afford the price.

I do hope the radio therapy has worked well for you.
We most certainly agree on the beef in SA, as much as I will only buy local produce here, if I could buy what we had in SA, I would have it every time. Never have I tasted beef/steak like it anywhere we have traveled in the world.
In fact I think the quality of most of the food in SA is rather good. 👍

Did somebody mention the words “Ginsters Pasties” earlier! I would, literally, not expose my dog to one of those. They really are not good……🤢🤢🤮🤮

Does anyone eat those horrible things? We had the same feeling about Cornish pasties after two horrible ones and one as bought from a bakery. The one the dogs would not even entertain eating it.
We were then told to go to a place in St Ives that was down a back street and off the main tourist route. Those pies were absolutely gorgeous. Restored my faith in pies although generally to this day we avoid buying pies. You do not know what is in them until you take a bite! LOL!
