Strasbourg

One of the MEPs for the South-West has been cooking up a fuss in Strasbourg fighting for the legal status of the traditional pasty.

Graham Watson is pushing for Cornwalls "national" dish to have PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) status.

This means Cornish pasties could only be made in Cornwall in the future.

Mr Watson handed out authentic pasties to his European colleagues at the European Parliament this week.
