Well I make a Devon Pasty my James was from Devon (Bere Alston and Plymouth)
and he would always pull the leg of any Cornishman by calling it a Devon Pasty - but Ivor Dewdney's Pasties in Plymouth rocked the socks off any Cornish one I had.

Maybe that was his brother's pasty shop in Cornwall
Ivor makes lovely pasties I don't mind the swede and when compared to those awful flakey pastry ones with the crimp on top and full of too much onion, carrot, peas and mince that seem to pass for a pasties up North here - Yuck!

They would only want to be rescued live on the news
"Several so-called pasty makers are caught underground in a mine-shaft incident they swear to only use Onion, Swede/Turnip, Beef and Potatoes and a small amout of butter in any further pasty making. Discussion about crimp being on the side is still ongoing."

Is that a myth then that the further west you are the lower down the crimp is?
My mum's from west of Penzance and uses a decidedly lateral crimp.

Well traditionally the crimp is on the side and was to help the tin-miners eat the pasty without
getting their hands all over the main part - but there is always going to be variations especially as it's a general snack/meal now rather than just for tin-miner to eat more conveniently.
