{{Main|Cornish cuisine}}
Cornwall has a strong culinary heritage. Surrounded on three sides by the sea amid fertile fishing grounds, Cornwall naturally has fresh seafood readily available; [[Newlyn]] is the largest fishing port in the UK by value of fish landed, and is known for its wide range of restaurants.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.objectiveone.com/client/media/media-611.htm |title=Objective One media release |publisher=Objectiveone.com |access-date=25 September 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714223641/http://www.objectiveone.com/client/media/media-611.htm |archive-date=14 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Television chef [[Rick Stein]] has long operated a fish restaurant in [[Padstow]] for this reason, and [[Jamie Oliver]] chose to open his second restaurant, [[Fifteen (restaurant)|Fifteen]], in [[Watergate Bay]] near [[Newquay]]. [[MasterChef (UK TV series)|''MasterChef'']] host and founder of Smiths of Smithfield, [[John Torode]], in 2007 purchased Seiners in [[Perranporth]]. One famous local fish dish is [[Stargazy pie]], a fish-based pie in which the heads of the fish stick through the piecrust, as though "star-gazing". The pie is cooked as part of traditional celebrations for [[Tom Bawcock's Eve]], but is not generally eaten at any other time.

Cornwall is perhaps best known though for its [[pasty|pasties]], a savoury dish made with pastry. Today's pasties usually contain a filling of beef steak, onion, potato and [[Swedish turnip|swede]] with salt and white pepper, but historically pasties had a variety of different fillings. "Turmut, 'tates and mate" (i.e. "Turnip, potatoes and meat", turnip being the Cornish and Scottish term for swede, itself an abbreviation of 'Swedish Turnip', the British term for [[rutabaga]]) describes a filling once very common. For instance, the licky pasty contained mostly leeks, and the herb pasty contained watercress, parsley, and shallots.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.alanrichards.org/cornish3.htm |title=Cornish recipe site |publisher=Alanrichards.org |date=25 February 2008 |access-date=25 September 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101011061411/http://www.alanrichards.org/cornish3.htm |archive-date=11 October 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Pasties are often locally referred to as ''oggies''. Historically, pasties were also often made with sweet fillings such as jam, apple and blackberry, plums or cherries.<ref name=Martin>{{Cite book| last=Martin | first=Edith | title=Cornish Recipes, Ancient & Modern. 22nd edition, 1965|year=1929 }}</ref>
The wet climate and relatively poor soil of Cornwall make it unsuitable for growing many arable crops. However, it is ideal for growing the rich grass required for dairying, leading to the production of Cornwall's other famous export, [[clotted cream]]. This forms the basis for many local specialities including Cornish [[fudge]] and Cornish [[ice cream]]. Cornish clotted cream has [[Geographical indications and traditional specialities in the European Union|Protected Geographical Status]] under EU law,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://europa.eu.int/comm/agriculture/qual/en/uk_en.htm |title=Official list of British protected foods |publisher=Europa.eu.int |date=23 February 2009 |access-date=25 September 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050602042239/http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/agriculture/qual/en/uk_en.htm |archive-date=2 June 2005 }}</ref> and cannot be made anywhere else. Its principal manufacturer is [[A. E. Rodda & Son]] of Scorrier.

Local cakes and desserts include [[Saffron bun|Saffron cake]], [[Heavy cake|Cornish heavy (''hevva'') cake]], [[Cornish fairings]] biscuits, figgy 'obbin, [[Cream tea]] and whortleberry pie.<ref>Mason, Laura; Brown, Catherine (1999) ''From Bath Chaps to Bara Brith''.

There are also many types of beers brewed in Cornwall—those produced by [[Sharp's Brewery]], [[Skinner's Brewery]], Keltek Brewery and [[St Austell Brewery]] are the best known—including [[stout]]s, [[ale]]s and other beer types. There is some small scale production of wine, [[mead]] and [[cider]].
