Pasty-making competition at the Egloskerry St Petroc and St Keri Church fête and all the competitors are men. The event is organised by Rev Patrick Howlett and the winner is Clifford Trelown. The Cornish Pasty Association appeared in the 13th century and by the 18th century the pasty became a staple of the working man's diet. There are 50 independent pasty makers in Cornwall and with over 6 million Cornish around the world the delicacy has been exported to places like Mexico.
