And I always thought...
...Tattie Oggies was just Devonspeak for Cornish Pasties, coz the only time true Devonians will utter the word Cornish is when it preceeds the word b*st*rds.

The Cornish Pasty and Local Ales
The buyers guide to the Corninsh Pasty
1, The proper cornish pasty contains Steak, Potato, Onion and Swede, with seasoning of course. Anything esle is a fake
2, Avoid anything too neat at tidy, best one alway look a bit rough
3, Avoid places with names like Oggy Oggy, or Ginsters, made for tourists
4, Go to a bakers with a big queue outside, most likly full a' locals, and beleve me we know which places do the best pasty
5, Get a few at a time, they taste different (in a good way) when they are cold, I wouldn't leaving to cross the channel from Cornwall without one, they are the best midnight sailing food available, even good a few days old, if kept cool. if you buy them in the morning before you set off, and keep them all together, they stay remarkably warm as well!!
Folk Lore....
The pasty was the staple diet of minners, although when I was down a tin mine the miners were eating shape low fat yoghurts and oranges!!
The crimping (crust) was there for the miners to hold onto, so they didn't get there food dirty
They used to have the traditional filling in one end and a fruit pie type filling in the other
A proper Cornish pasty should be able to withstand a drop down a Cornish tin mine
The further from Lands End you get the further the crimping moves over the pasty
As for the Cornish Cream Tea, Rhoddas is the only Cornish Clotted Cream, it has a crust and is quite simply devine. There are two schools of thought, jam on the scone first or cream, personally I prefer Jam with the cream on top, but feel free to eat it the way you'd like...
If in the south west, forget scrumpy, it makes it a bugger to row back to the boat and climb on board!!! by the time it's hit you it's too late, you'll have to sleep in the dinghy!! I joke not, unless your crew can manhandle you on board
Drink the local ale, two names, Sharp's and Skinners, forget St Austell, it's HSD has the nick name High Speed Disentry!!
Sharp's Cornish Coaster is possibly the finest Light ale (yellow badge) around, there Doom Bar (blue badge) is also a fantastic brew...Skinners "Who put the lights out" is stronger still....in Devon go for Exmoor brews like Exmoor "Stag" and "Gold" stay off the Exmoor Beast tho, it weighs in at an OG of 1066 (around 6.6%) a memorable pint...from the same town as Exmore you'll find Cotleigh, all of their beers are excellent named after bird such as Twany, Buzzard and Golden Eagle
I can second the Inn at Tolvern, Smugglers cottage, they did have a very fine whisky collection as well, lil too much pepper in the pasty though!
Lived in Cornwall for 17 years, but don't hold it against me!

Re: The Cornish Pasty and Local Ales
Used to drink Newquay Steam beer many years back.. memorable stuff too.. very strong.
I haven't seen it for years though but then I am now in the land of the sowsnek (Devon)
Have to concur Rodda's is the finest around and the proper way to do a cream tea scone is a bit of jam then as much cream as will balance on it. The other way round is the way they do it Deb'm.
The other fine thing about an pasty crust is that it doubles for bait once its too dry for you to eat.
