I'm so glad that you tried a real Cornish pasty in Cornwall. I lived on the borders of Devon and Cornwall for years, and I'm convinced that the tastiest pasties are made in Cornwall. You can get them all over the UK, but somehow the ones made where they originated are the best. The seasoning is just extra flavoursome in Cornwall, there should be a pepperiness about them. A similar example is black pudding - I've had it all over the UK, but the best ones come from up north. Sausage rolls are an anytime type of food, and yes, just about always eaten with hands.

The myth or stereotype came about during the 50's when there was still food shortages and rationing after the war so processed food started to become a thing, sausages with low meat content, bangers etc, and so as you can imagine there was a lot of horrible cheap and nasty stuff inner city people had to eat to survive, the more rural might have still had traditional nice food but the foreigners were only exposed to the mass produced processed city shit when visiting so they went home and said we all eat garbage.

Pasties used to have savoury (diced lamb, root veg, onions) at one end, and jam at the other (for pudding for the miners' lunch). The thick, edging pastry was used to hold the pasty with dirty hands, and was thrown away or given the pit ponies.

My husband and I enjoyed a savory and a sweet pasty in the Gwennap Pit together that we bought at a bakery. The Geevor Tin Mining museum is a must if you go to Cornwall. The old mining equipment is displayed in the most beautiful ways. Love Falmouth even got a life bird there a black legged kittiwake. In St Ives we visited the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden and The Leach Pottery studio. All those lovely old kilns with the layers and layers of glazes peeking through from many years of artists at work. The Minack Theatre is an fantastic experience and was built by an incredible woman not too far from St. Ives. Driving through the tall hedgerows on the narrow road there we are amazed we didn't hit anything. Might have scared some people though. We saw Othello there which was really first rate. The views are amazing; words can't do the place justice. My Dad used to tell me how his Cornish grandfather after immigrating to upper Michigan with his siblings and parents used to make pasty's. I drug my husband around to many Cornish cemeteries to try and find my Dad's ancestors. He was amazed at all the history. So much history every where you turn. Enjoyed your video and seeing some of these places again after many years. Just discovered your video. It was a lot of fun to watch.

The tourist guides will tell you all the "must see's".

On your way north you need to stop off in Cheddar Gorge,(not far from Bristol), its the home of Cheddar Cheese, first made there in 1170 so Cheddar Cheese is 852 years old. Cheddar Gorge is gorgeous and they have traditional pubs, restaurants and cheese shops along with caves, lakes and beautiful scenery all around the Gorge. The caves are where they mature the original Cheddar Cheese as they are the perfect temperature and humidity. You should also try a Ploughman's Lunch in a pub with a traditional West Country Cider. Visit Thatchers Cider brewery and taste the best cider in the world. A Ploughman's Lunch is a very English thing consisting of Cheese/ham, Branston pickle, pickled onion, apple, celery, salad, crusty bread, grapes and maybe even beetroot or other bits n pieces. It's a wonderful lunch on a hot sunny day and sit in the beer garden with a cold cider... Very English!

It was nice to see you trying a Cornish pasty! I don't know if you know why the crust was put on one side? Once, the miners used to take it down with them in the minest! to eat later on and the crust was made along one side, so they did not touch the food inside when they were eating it! I used to live in West Penrith in the late sixties up until 1974 it has changed a heck of a lot! Glad you are enjoying Cornwall and England too !!

West *Penarth* surely? 🤔 *Penrith* is a small town in North Cumbria, it's known for a small scene in the film "Withnail & I" Tea Shop scene I think? The next most recognizable scene involves a red phone box that can be found out at Bampton (about 10 miles from Penrith) The last notable link to films I can think of would be Greystoke Castle for "Tarzan, The Legend of Greystoke" although I'm not sure if it was filmed there. Glenridding village beside Ullswater Lake was the main location for filming the gritty TV series "The Lakes" (starring John Sim) as well as scenes in Pooley Bridge at the northern end of the Lake. Sharrow Bay Hotel overlooking the Lake is known to be one of the most exclusive hotels in Cumbria. There's a Lancaster Bomber at the bottom of the lake, although it's too deep for anyone to reach it without specialised diving equipment or a sub. The lake was named after a Norse Viking raider "ULF" who claimed it as his own upon discovery. The lakes where formed by glacial drift in the ice age, carving out the landscape.

Often eat sausage rolls (homemade) for breakfast, after having an healthy Kefir, fruit and oat smoothy, a balanced diet. Next meal is dinner so keeps me going all day. Smoothy recipe:- 250 ml Kefir, 150-200 gm fruit (Strawberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, Raspberries) a slice of Pineapple and a Banana. 75gm Porridge Oats. Whizzed in blender until smooth about 1 minute.

Mrs Kirkhams crumbly Lancashire is one of my favourite cheeses and the only Lancashire cheese still made with raw unpasteurised milk, that's what makes it so tasty I suspect. I buy it in booths and also Bowland cheese which is Lancashire cheese with cinnamon, raisin and apple in it. Booths are only in the North west, I think. They are like Waitrose but specialise more in regional produce, maybe they sell the cheese in Waitrose, there's no Waitrose near me, we have Booths instead, there is one in the next city over but that's a 20 to 30 min train ride. I wish it wasn't shut at 4pm on sunday, I could do with a proper dry west country cider right now, not one of these fashionable medium or fruity sweet jobbies they sell everywhere else.

Me and my family have just returned from our vacation to the Lizard point (we are British), so it was really surprising to see that you both visited there, almost at a similar time to ourselves. Keep up the brilliant work making the great videos. I believe in an previous video you mentioned that you are visiting York? If so, its also worth going to visit Pickering and travelling on the Steam Train to Goathland, as the station there was the used in the Harry potter movies as 'Hogsmeade Station'. Its also a wonderful place to visit and the scenery is amazing.

If you pass through the Midlands you have to try a curry while your there, Try an onion bhajee to start and then for the main, try a Chicken Tikka Masala. Your tastebuds will go crazy if you've never had it before. Also be sure to try a treacle sponge pudding or sticky toffee pudding both with custard, but try not to get the tiny readymade ones unless there is no other option, and AVOID the Haggis at all costs, it's definitely an acquired taste.

As an afterthought, the best ready made treacle sponge puddings come in a tin and they are made by Heinz who also make a great chocolate sponge pudding. The other small ones that you can buy only have the smallest amount of topping on. And you can take them back to the USA as they won't go stale because they are in a tin.

When I was a teen, a long tine ago, I went on a trip with a guy from college whose dad owned a B&B in Torbay, Devon. One day we went looking for Cider, not Scrumpy but Devon Farmhouse Cider, an entirely different Beast. We went in his Triumph Spitfire, way out into the country, and down 45 degrees into a farmyard...nearly grounded the spitfire, then went into a warehouse clutching our empty plastic 2 Ltr coke bottles. There was not much light, but huddled round an upturned barrel were 2 men, drinking out of half pint mugs. My friend knew them, as I think you have to do to find these places, and one guy offered up a long unwashed mug, and took us into a maze of Huge barrels of Cider, allowing us to test taste the various Ciders. I remember selecting one barrel, and buying whatever 2 x 2 ltr equivalents was at 25p per bottle....I know...., and he did the same....we left and drove back to his Dad's. This was Late '70s. Once back he told me to be careful, and we began to drink...there were apple lumps in that cider, and I didn't even finish one bottle. next thing I remember was walking almost intimately close behind a Policeman on the beat, stride for stride, saying 'left..right...left'. The policeman was not putting up with that, and thank God my friend was there. 'Farmhouse' he said to the officer, 'first time'. The policeman told him 'take him away and put him in a bed, he will get more drunk for some hours'....a happy ending, but compared to Scrumpy, Farmhouse is a different world, even White Lightning pales before it. Just so Readers know. That stuff is unadvertised, but it is still there, for those that know.......
