"I am a pasty eater myself, I go to Cornwall on holiday, I love a hot pasty.
"I think the last one I bought was from the West Cornwall Pasty Company. I seem to remember I was in Leeds station at the time and the choice was whether to have one of their small ones or large ones, and I have a feeling I opted for the large one and very good it was too."
However, some have doubted Cameron's pasty anecdote - as the "West Cornwall Pasty Company" closed 5 years ago.
George Osborne has faced opposition from MPs and some businesses over the decision last week's Budget to add 20% VAT on hot pasties and pies that are served "above ambient temperature".

You can draw your own conclusions about his diet...

Many people are complaining that your hot baked goods tax is just another way of taking a swipe at the working classes, who apparently eat nothing but Greggs's produce. It's alleged that you've failed yet again to tax silly middle class fripperies and have chosen to fire your budgetary bullets at foods so common that you can't even remember eating them.
