A freshly baked pasty is the ultimate treat for us Cornish folk – and they taste even better when you can pick on up for a pretty price.

The cost of the Cornish staple varies from bakery to bakery but most of us will gladly part with a couple of quid to combat our pasty cravings.

But it appears that in some parts of the world, like in faraway lands such as Norfolk, you can pick up a pasty for pennies, quite literally.

At a Tesco store in Swaffham, a Rowe's pasty sold for the ultimate bargain price of 2p.

The flaky feast, which would have been baked here in the duchy, was bought by proud Cornishman Ryan David.

Posting on the Rate My Pasty Facebook page , he wrote: “For 2p? I'll take the chance."

And he certainly wasn't disappointed.

"The innards ain't bad but the pastry is a bit soggy," he said. "But for 2p it's great and it reminds me of home.”

He told Cornwall Live the pasty was in date and was supposed to be sold for £1.85.

"It's made a Cornish man living in Norfolk a happy man,” he added.

Commenters declared the purchase a true bargain.

Jennifer Martin said: "You can't buy anything for 2p nowadays. That's the bargain of the year hands down."

Tim Pearson described it as a "dream come true" for pasty lovers.

He said: "That's a pasty hunter’s bargain dream come true... well done."

Jacob Hamer simply wrote: "Lucky bastard."
