Things that Pop into my Head 
The government have backed the Cornish Pasty Makers Association (CPA) in the bid to get regional protection from the EU. The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs will take the CPA's application for Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) to Brussels. DEFRA have confirmed that the application meets all the requirements for a protected food name. Any trademark would cover the Cornish pasty's traditional recipe and appearance. A genuine Cornish pasty has a distinctive D shape with the pastry crimped on one side, never on top. It is filled with minced or roughly cut chunks of beef, swede or turnip, potato and onion. If successful, only pasties made from this traditional meat and veg recipe will be able to be sold as a Cornish pasty. The Cornish pasty makes up about 6% of the Cornish food economy, with about 13,000 people benefitting from CPA trade. The CPA said "We believe it is not unreasonable to ask companies to honestly label their products so that the consumer is guaranteed a level of quality, recipe and origin when they purchase them.
