Why do I love pasties? I will tell you, they are the best food on this planet thats why. No matter where you buy them from in cornwall they are delisiuos. All Cornish folks mum's make's the best pasties, I know my mum did, and her mum did, and her mum did, ok, ok I know you get it.
I always enjoy a Jelperts icecream after my pasty, just like Michael Darracott the cornish author who wrote about it in his book Proper Cornish childhood. That book reminds me so much of my past, Newlyn Harbour and fishing, Paul village and cricket, Mousehole christmas lights. Taking a dip off newlyn beach, and in the jubillee bathing pool, pasty in hand walking down market jew street in penzance. A bit of surfing at sennen cove and newquay, belly boarding down praa sands.
The book Proper Cornish Childhood is a reminder of the way it was in sixties Cornwall for a ten - year old boy, that boy was Michael J Darracott, he writes of his memory of how he watched the Torrey Canyon oil tanker being bombed by the RAF, and the pollution of Cornish beaches in the wake of the aftermath. Those poor wild animals and sea birds did not know what hit them, what a sad time for the Cornish and Cornwall.
