World Pasty Championships - who will take the crown?

The World Pasty Championships kicks off in Cornwall tomorrow, to find the best pasty recipe out there.

The annual competition takes place at The Eden Project - a week before the national day of Cornwall, St Piran’s Day. About 150 entrants are expected to enter their bake in the hope of winning the prize for either best traditional Cornish pasty or best alternative savoury pasty.

Last year, the Cornish family (that's actually their name) from Callington triumphed for the third year running, with 12-year-old Simon winning the Junior Cornish Pasty category, matching wins for his older brother and father in previous years. Will the family see success again in 2015?

You might have missed the boat to enter this year but you can get set for 2016 now:
