He has had to build a special catering kitchen in his garden, as you can not sell food made in a non-commercial kitchen.

We've had his pasties! Lovely they are too, lovely chunks of beef & spud. Hubby works with a chum of his (another ex Cornishman) who has them shipped up by the boxfull to Auckland and divvied up amongst eager, drooling expats like ourselves.

Inspired by this thread, which left me aching for a lovely pastie I made my own:

Ooh, contraband pasties! Where? Is it a case of meet me in the domain wearing a bowler hat and a copy of last Sunday's Herald under your arm? Whisper the secret passcode?
