WIN £20,000 WITH YOUR PASTY?

HAYLE is a bit of a pasty capital for Cornwall with some great and well known pasties being made or sold in the town.

Does any of you have a REALLY special  pasty recipe?  A Competition winner perhaps?

This chap Mark Leung has contacted one of our town councillors asking if anyone in Cornwall wants to submit a really good Cornish Pasty recipe for a planned TV programme...... Lets see what we can do (There IS a big prize!) LIKE and SHARE with your fave Cook friends!

"I am currently working on the production of a brand new ITV show where we are searching for people to apply for the show. This is the biggest ever search for Britain's best loved recipe, and it’s a competition that anyone can enter, all it takes is the ability to cook one delicious dish. The winning dish from the series will earn its owner a substantial cash prize of £20,000 as well as the pride of seeing their dish on the shelves of Marks & Spencer across the country (with all proceeds going to charity).

I am currently looking for some people to apply with great pasty recipes. It would be great if you could pass around the attached information to see if anyone would like to apply. Remember ANYONE can apply – teams & individuals welcome!

Terms & conditions and application forms can be found at the web address below. Also please feel free to pass this information to any colleagues, friends or family you feel may be interested in the show."

NO TO PASTY TAX!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!


PASTY TAX!

Now I really like a pasty and I like the bugger ot,
an a pasty often cost me all the cash that I have got.

So if the bleddy gummunt add on the VEEAYTEE
I shent be able t'ave one fer me dinner or me tea!

Tes more than jes a pie you see, an more than jes a treat,
tes a bit of Cornish Culture that meks life a bit mor sweet.

We bin eating them fer centuries so I spec we went stop now
but we'll remember next election, how you taxed our favourite chow!

From Lands End to the Tamar I hope you all will note,
not a Libral Dem ner Tory should get a single vote!

I knaw our George and Andrew voted right on pasty tax
an this is nothing persnal, but this pome you can take back

to David bleddy Cameron, and George bleddy Osborne too,
that tax upon our culture and identity won't do!

Repeal this hated Pasty Tax and do us all a favour,
So we can buy the pasties that add to Cornwall's flavour.

Cornwall is a special place I think we all agree
We deserve our pasties and we want them Duty Free!
