I'm having a proper Cornish pasty for tea tonight,
I bet you’re not, a proper Cornish Pasty had stewed sweet apple in one half of it, thus doing away with a separate desert. 😀 but then perhaps you are, I can’t see your pasty.
You are right it wasn't, but it was pretty darn good @Dovefromabove is that where the expression of dropping a clanger originates from? I'd be gutted to drop one of those!
Dunno @M@MrsGlaze ... according to my late Ma (who was from Bedfordshire and despite her usually abysmal cooking skills she made a good clanger) the name comes from the fact that a 'clanger pudding' resembled the clanger in a church bell ... so possibly dropping a clanger comes from the noisy one, not the tasty one?

Slight change of direction - I love maple syrup. That's a great export. Don't indulge often but sometimes it just hits the spot. Tamla Motown and Atlantic Soul are great too.

I'd love it if we imported one very , very thing they do in usa. Every house, ( even the whitehouse (1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500, USA) ) has to have a number , prominently displayed and a road name. For those of us who drive around the country looking for houses with no signs, faded signs, broken signs, illegible signs it'd be a huge bonus.
Funnily enough Hosta, it was a thing in Belgium too. Every house has a wee blue official plaque, quite small, with the house number on so that emergency services can find you.

If you’ve not heard of it, google ‘What three words’. It could make life so much easier for delivery drivers and emergency vehicles. In countries without a good postcode system I believe the concept has been warmly welcomed.
