The crimping should be across the top


It's a Traditional ‘D’ for me!

"Controversial bakery fights back against ‘Cornish pasty fascists’ upset about top crimp

A bakery owner in Cornwall has hit back at “Cornish pasty fascists” who are upset with her for crimping Cornish pasties along the top.

Cornish-born Mikaela Parry, 51, sparked an angry reaction from traditionalists after opening her Over The Top Cornish Pasties bakery in Gunnislake, East Cornwall last year.

Local Steve Fitzpatrick said there was “nothing controversial about crimping over the top – it’s just not a Cornish pasty.”

The Cornish Pasty Association, which helps enforce the foodstuff’s coveted Protected Geographical Status granted in 2011, details the sideways method in its official wording.

Many others see this as the historic way. Cornwall native Lesley Gillilan once wrote in the Guardian: “It must have a distinctive ‘D’ shape, crimped on one side (never on top)…”"
