I’m an expert and this is how to tell if what you are eating is authentic.<br/><br/>Food writer and Great British Bake Off 2019 winner, David Atherton, explained a traditional Neapolitan Margherita is protected by EU law to be made with Italian flour, tomatoes, and genuine mozzarella.<br/><br/>Hand-kneading the dough is a strict requirement and the diameter should be no larger than 35cm with a crust between one and two centimetres tall.<br/><br/>When it comes to eating a Cornish pasty, you should look out for the distinctive crimping down the sides, which traditionally served as a handle for the miner’s hands.<br/><br/>It should be filled with mince, potato, swede and onion. The beef should make up exactly 12.5 per cent of the filling with vegetables making up a quarter – seasoned with just salt and pepper.<br/><br/>He explained the New York bagel should always be boiled before being baked to create a distinctive soft texture while retaining a good chew and a golden crust.<br/><br/>He adds “If it’s not from New York , it’s just a roll with a hole.”<br/><br/>Alastair Unite, a spokesperson from from New York Bakery Co., which commissioned the research, said: “We’re on a mission to champion authenticity. That’s why we’ve teamed up with David Atherton as the nation’s ‘Chief Authenticity Expert’.
