I've just been looking up the West Cornish Pasty Company website to see whether they actually bake their pasties in Cornwall. It's a remarkable website. I see their head office is in Buckinghamshire, and I don't suppose they have lorry loads of pasties leaving Cornwall every day to every part of the UK. But then I'm not sure they actually describe their pasties as 'Cornish pasties'. The nearest is their traditional pasty, which I'm sure is a lot nicer than real Cornish pasties. I can't remember pasties being as nice before the West Cornish Pasty Company appeared. They were usually fairly inedible, containing grey-looking mince and lumpy bits.

Warren's pasties (St Just) aren't bad at all now, especially for a non-specialist local chain baker. Like others in the area, there's been a big leap in pasty quality in the last few years.

Undoubtedly the best Cornish Pasties come from Cornwall, and from the multitude of little bakers up and down the county.
The Rock Bakery and Barnett Fayre of Bodmin do the best in my experience

I have occasionally had the misfortune to eat the Ginsters Station variety in London, even after 5 pints I find them inedible as they seem to mostly consist of salt.

The best cornish pasty I have ever had was in a pasty shop in St Ives with ExXmrsIS. It's just a shame that I only experienced the joy of the first bite before the Tourette's kicked in and I shouted, "f*ck me, this is delicious!", and then threw it full-force at the proprietor. Then I involuntarily pissed myself.

This has reminded me of Once Upon a Time in Mexico where Johnny Depp's character shoots the chef for cooking him a perfect meal.
