Bakery serving up 2ft Cornish pasty – as treat is 20 times the regular size & has shocking amount of calories
A BAKERY is filling pasty fans with joy with a 2ft monster version of the handy meal.
The gigantic Cornish pasty — dubbed The Harvest — is 20 times the size of the regular all-in-one oven-cooked treat.
At 20,000 calories, it’s ten times the recommended daily intake of 2,000 for women.
It comes in steak, mince beef, cheese or vegan alternatives — all with the secret recipe flaky or shortcrust pastry and fillings including potatoes, swedes and onion.
Each hefty beast is created using traditional handmade methods with no machinery in the assembly at Philps bakery in Hayle, Cornwall.
But you might have to crimp and save to get it as The Harvest will set you back a meaty £28.
Philps manager Cerys Baker said: “The Harvest is a monster.
“It started as a request for a Harvest Festival centrepiece in 1995.
“Someone said it would be a good idea at functions, including weddings, birthdays and anniversaries”.
PM Rishi Sunak caused controversy this month when he popped into Philps on a tour of Cornwall and held his pasty sideways.
But the bakery would not be drawn into the row, insisting: “Pasties and politics don’t mix.”
Cerys said everyone could appreciate the snacks, adding: “It’s the love that goes into the pasties and sticking to traditional methods.”
