Enter the fish, chips and mushy peas pasty

It's a fast food fan's dream. Fish, chips and mushy peas - all inside a pasty.

The amalgam of two of Britain's favourite finger food meals was launched yesterday on St Piran's Day - a celebration of the county of Cornwall's saint.

As pasty lovers know, the usual ingredients of the centuries-old traditional snack is meat and vegetables.

But the Proper Cornish Food Company (PCFC) - based in the county at Bodmin - decided it was time for a change for this St Piran's Day.

The winning fish, chips and mushy peas combination was dreamed up by Carl Farrell, from Dartmouth, Devon.

And doesn't it look lovely.

Other fillings suggested included: Octopus, squid and baked beans, Haggis, potato and turnip, Jelly and ice-cream, Peach salsa with sour cream and cheese, Lamb, mint and redcurrant, Brie and cranberry, Kangaroo and macadamia nuts., English Breakfast, Feta with roasted Mediterranean vegetables and Oriental duck.
