Cooks from around the world will head to Cornwall in March for the first World Pasty Championships.
The event will be held at the Eden Project, St Austell, to celebrate the popular local delicacy, which was given protected status under EU law earlier in 2011.
The Cornish Pasty Association, which is backing the event, hopes people locally and across the world will take part.
It will be held on 3 March, the Saturday before St Piran’s Day.
The Cornish pasty has been associated with tin miners in the county, and was a part of many people’s diets during the 18th Century.
That sounds like fun, do you think they need any taste testers???
Sign me up together with Robert on the taste tester will ya?=)
