Available in every bakery throughout the county, Cornwall’s traditional pasties can form a snack or full meal – depending on how hungry you’re feeling! Saffron cake, another Cornish favourite, should also be sampled. Originally only made at Easter but now available the year-round, this rich, saffron-flavoured cake comes from an original Cornish recipe.
