Potioncat:
First, there was all this talk of pixies (slightly more off list), 
then I found myself watching a food related travel show. I saw some 
sort of huge fried English breakfast that left no doubts where 
Southern US cooking comes from.

Then the second host goes off to Cornwall---in search of the "famous" 
Cornish Pasties. "Doesn't he mean Cornish Pixies?" I says to myself, 
I says. Nope, he's holding up some gigantic fried pie (as we call 
them)

So my question is, did everyone in the UK "know" that Cornish Pixies 
was a play on Cornish Pasties? 

Potioncat, who wishes she'd learned how to make fried peach pies, but 
is probably better off for not knowing.
