Interesting Fact # 429 - The Pasty Wars

The pasty is a serious thing in Cornwall, but now Devon is claiming that they originated there.

(Seemingly a historic document, dating back to 1509 mentions a pasty. The reference to a "10d" pasty is in an audited civic account book for Plymouth in Devon. Not to be outdone Cornish chronicler of the pasty has hit back, saying that cave drawings revealed evidence of pasties in the county in primitive times. This whole thing needs to be handled very carefully, after all wars have been fought over less.)
