No Cornish Pastie from Cornwall... :(

Today for work we had to go out to one of our sites and stake out a piece of land which is going to be sold off. GPS and measuring tape and stakes and yellow paint and huge mallet and wet weather gear in hand, we drove down to Falmouth to meet our contact. This was my first trip into Cornwall, despite living on the very border of the place, and I was looking forward to seeing the place which all Devonians make fun of and all Cornwellians believe is superior to England (they don't believe they are English). Two hours of beautiful countryside later, I was well impressed. The site was fun too - something that had been constructed for the second world war and no longer required, it was a tad overgrown and we waded our way through wet grass that was longer than our stakes were high - so trying to get a true line between points was a tad difficult, but we managed in the end. But I didn't get to taste a Cornish Pastie! They are apparently the best in England and highly recommended, but we couldn't find a place to buy them from. Ah well, next time perhaps.
