@@maryamfatima2134 If you’ve ever tried a Cornish Pasty you’d know they are full of flavour and absolutely delicious. They’ve come a long way from what they were in the mining times. At 2:56 you can see them seasoning the food. The meat doesn’t look undercooked at all?
@@maryamfatima2134 Cornish pasties are one of the most delicious foods ever! They are heavily seasoned with salt & white pepper. The meat is the probably the best bit and is stewed until tender whilst baked in the pastry.
I am a native Californian, but I've been eating pasties my whole life. an old family recipe via Michigan Cornish miners on the Williams side of my family from St Agnes, Cornwall.
My grandmother was born in Virginia City, Nevada. Her mother was taught to make pasties by a Cornish woman (there is the mining connection; Cornish miners came to the American west to work the deep hard-rock mines). We still make them and crimp them in the same fashion. In cold weather and to someone doing physical labor, such a meal, even eaten out of hand, can't be topped.
@@kevinrussell-jp6om the old trick used to be that you'd take your spade, flip it upside down and prop it up and then you'd put wax candles underneath to heat up the spade blade and put your pasty on top, that served as the method for reheating whilst down the pits, helps if you've got the paper bag to keep it clean.
Along with their mining skills and techniques, miners from Cornwall introduced pasties to many U.S. mining towns in the 1800s. Cornish pasties have been quite popular in these communities ever since. I’ve had many over the years. Delicious.
Being from cornwall with an an upbringing along the coast I'm no stranger to a traditional Cornish pasty. The origins behind this type of food as you stated were as a meal for miners, but the original pasties were usually made of two halves, One half being the main meal and the other being the dessert. Cornish miners were very superstitious and would have their wives carve their initials into the crust of the pasty, As the crust was considered a "handle" for the miners to hold the food, once they were done eating they would offer these crusts for the "knockers" in the mines - little people or spirits that would cause mischief and problems, the miners would leave the crusts to ensure nothing bad happened to them.
Ha interesting. She did mention the two halves thing and the crust. Leaving it behind as a sacrifice/gift haha.. Superstition in mining and fishing, where people can randomly not come home, seems warranted.
I'm an American so my experience with traditional English cuisine doesn't go too much further than fish & chips and bubble & squeak. Anyways, I was kinda surprised there was no mention of brown sauce in this video. I would've thought that some HP(or maybe even malt vinegar) would be a good fit with a pastie.
@@the503creepout7 It's relatively common to see people use some HP for the filling of the pasty, as this very much so resembles a traditional meat pie filling. The savoury taste of HP blends very well with it :)
I was born in Australia’s Little Cornwall, South Australia. My grandmother made traditional Cornish pasties in the wood oven. Plenty of lard, fantastic pasties!
I have been making pasties since I was 20, so 50+ years here in the US. Learned from my Cornwall grandmother. I'm so glad to know that the way I've been making them is consistent with your baker's pasties. Had great grandfathers that worked the tin mines. Thank you for the episode.
I’m a 5th generation Californian. My Great Grandfather was a miner, in the foothills. My Dad used to tell me how miners ate pasties in the mines. One end sweet, one end meat and veg. Very cool!!! Super video!
Same here! I grew up in a small mining town in CA, where there was a pastie shop right next to the grade school I went to. On days that we had money I would get my lunch there.
As someone from Cornwall and lived here my whole life (18 years). It’s great to such a prized food as a pasty being showcased. Is Cornish are crazy about pasty’s and it’s a massive thing for us down here. One of my fave foods. Thank you for the video
We have these in Mexico, specifically in the state of Hidalgo, you can find them everywhere and they look identical to the ones in the video. They are called Pastes (obviously losing the i from the original word) and were brought over to that region by British miners.
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek they went to many South American countries when the mines closed , as did the Welsh too …there’s actually a Welsh speaking community in Argentina! lol
My Grandma came from Cornwall and used to make Cornish pastries. She and my Great Grandmother came to Canada as a war bride. My grandma was 4 years old when she came here. I miss her pasties when I make mine it's not the same.
American with English relatives here, when I think of the UK I think of pasties. Its a necessity of mine to get a pasty or sausage roll immediately upon arrival and to take a few moments to enjoy it before continuing on the journey.
Yeh but to get a real Cornish pasty you’ve got to go to Cornwall. Their pasty’s then there’s Cornish pasty’s which are protected by historical status, so only Pasty’s actually made in Cornwall can be called “Cornish pasty” as the Cornish are a Celtic people their not English.
@@matty6848 they were a celtic people hundreds of years ago, not now with only a few hundred speaking cornish and the amount of mixing and travelling between people of cornwall and the rest of england.
@@louiitrains yees That's true. Hardly anyone speaks cornish now and it's full of rich English people mainly from London who have the luxury of being able to buy £500,000 second holiday homes in Cornwall, pricing the mainly poor Cornish out of the market.
@@Egginaut So it’s rad seeing representation. Celebrating neurodivergent people and their lives is dope. For context the guy I was replying to deleted his comment. He was bullying the guy in the vid for being different.
I remember my mum and I were making some meat pies for an event, there's a version of this Cornish pasty in Nigeria as well that we simply call meat pies, so that's what we were making. There were some British people at that place and as soon as they saw them their eyes lit up and they were like "ooh they look like Cornish pasties" which I had never heard of until that day. I guess they're really similar, the only difference is that instead of rolling the edges we crimp them with a fork.
Grew up and live in Somerset, always went on holiday to Cornwall as a kid. It might look plain and simple, but a proper Cornish pasty is real treat. Love them, and love Cornwall.
In the State of Hidalgo in central México many Cornish miners came to work and brought with them pasties known here as pastes and soccer which became pretty much a religion in Mexico and founded the Pachuca FC team
As a Cornishman, you can have it next morning for breakfast,cut into pieces and fried with a fried egg on the top 😋. Also served baked on a plate opened up and a little milk poured onto it 😋😋.
My mother and grandmother used to make very large ones so that some would be leftover for a late supper if needed or tossed in a pan and fried for breakfast, Never heard the one about putting milk in.
I used to live in Marquette, Michigan. I lived on pasties, usually without rutabagas. But also smoked whitefish, lake trout and salmon. I miss the UP, even the winters (which were ferocious).
I tried cornish pasties when I was in the UK and fell in love with them. I would always be on the look out for it. It's one of the few british foods that I find myself craving at random times.
I attended uni in Cornwall some years ago, have since moved back stateside. This video brings back alot of great memories with good people and great pasties.
My grandmother has Cornish ancestry, and used to make these for my brother and I growing up - now I have her recipe. They're a bit of work to make from scratch, but really so worth it at the end! Delicious either hot or cold.
Hi from Australia. Can you please share the ingredients for the rough crust pastry? I need the quantities so I can get the proper pastry. I’m sitting by the sea in an area we call Little Cornwall. It’s the Copper Triangle of towns in South Australia where the original settlers came from Cornwall. Thanks Gill.
I'm from the upper peninsula of Michigan, USA. The pasty is our staple food. It was brought over from the Cornish people who worked in the mines here. Only difference is that it's pretty common to put a small amount of rutabaga in it (not always). We also smother in ketchup when we eat it.
Here in Michigan, Pastys are still as local favorite. I grab a couple for lunch at the local Pasty Shop a few times a month. The traditional pasty here in Michigan contains meat potatoes rudabaga and onion. So good!
I've lived in Cornwall my whole life. It's hard to keep away from a pasty. I try to make them a treat as they're lot of calories. I sometimes make my own on Sundays for my family instead of a roast
The host, whoever she is....is just simply PERFECT for this series. Such a warm, inviting and respectful presence. I literally would not watch this series without her. Give her a raise.
Here in Malaysia we have our own version called "Karipap", which is much smaller and very handy. It's somewhat a traditional cuisine treats, with different types of filling such as curry, sardines, potatoes, shrimps, etc.
Reminds me of a bridie, from Scotland. The filling of a bridie consists of minced steak, butter and beef suet seasoned with salt and pepper. They are very tasty, as well.
We live in South Australia in an area known as Australia's little Cornwall because many miners migrated here. It is proud of its heritage. When you come here you have to try the pasties too.
Planning to go to Britain next year God willing. I'll try to stop by because I LOVE Cornish pies (we call them pies where I Iive) and I know for a fact it's not the real deal. Just watching this video made my mouth water like a little fountain...
In the USA, specifically in the state of Michigan, specifically in northern Michigan, specifically in the Upper Peninsula they are the signature local food. Supposedly brought there by Cornish and Welsh miners who were brought over to work the copper and iron mines that that area was known for. Now Michigan likes to claim it essentially as its State Food. There are a lot of wonderful variations on the filling, my favorite being the Ruben pasty and a Mexican variation, the Picadillo pasty.
Empanadas have actually been inspired by Cornish Pasties. Cornish miners brought the pasties to Argentina when emigrating, where they were then transformed into the Empanadas we know today.
@@hubbadubba6063 Interesting, because I am from Argentina, and we do the exact same braided shape to close our empanadas. Didn't know it came from the UK. We do have afternoon tea in Argentina too.
I am from Butte Montana. Copper mining was the main industry for over a hundred years. Pasties were our favorite food growing up. We still make them to this day. Best hot with brown gravy or cold with a slice of cheese. Unfortunately, we only make them a couple times per year.
There is a small town in Mexico called "Real del Monte", where the British came to silver mining in the 16th century. The main foods are called "Pastes" straight from Cornish Pasties, even in the same context, where the miners used it for lunch. Today there are two main types of "pastes", one with potatos and beef and another one with beans. The British left a monumental clock with the same mechanism as the Big Ben as a thank you for allowing them to steal all of our minerals
En México se llaman Pastes, se originan en el estado de Hidalgo, en un pueblito que parece Ingles llamado Real del Monte, donde llegaron los ingleses a poner minas de plata y los locales adoptaron los pastes, hay de dos tipos, de papa con carne y de frijol, todos los demás son empanadas (pero no es lo mismo ni similar, incluso en la masa se nota)
Quite a fun thing in Cornwall is the regional family bakery chains. Usually 4 or 5 shops over a couple towns or surrounding villages across all regions of the county. It's a bit like football teams, everyone picks their favourite and swears by it :'D. You can easily pick out where someone is from just from their favourite pasty, I am a big Nile's fan!
@@paddyrs0740 I worked for the fine fellow for 10 years so I'm loyal!😂 But have to admit I love a Phillips also!😅 Didn't realize Niles were still around??
Come and visit Britain, you can get them everywhere! Just make sure it is a proper cornish one freshly baked and not the poor imitation you get cold in the supermarket or corner shop..
My Grandmother who was raised in mining country in the early 1900's would make Pasties. One of those fond memories growing up was eating her tasty creations.
My late Mother used to make pasties for us when we were kids. They were delicious!. Now I only make them occasionally, but still to Mum's recipe. Yum yum!. 🤗
Patties are derived from Cornish Pasties I believe. Cornish sailors brought them over and the Jamaican people started making them with their own ingredients and spices to make patties instead
Fun facts about pasties in Indonesia... 1. it's far smaller than the Cornish version and usually eaten as snacks, not lunch/whole meal 2. we usually substitute the potato for bihun (rice noodles/vermicelli), also sometimes we add not just meat, but also hard-boiled eggs. 3. most people call it "Pastel", from "Pastie", but eastern Indonesians, being culturally and historically closer to Spanish-colonized Philippines and Portuguese-colonzied East Timor, call it "Panada", from "Empanada"
In Malaysia we call this currypuff. as the name implies, stuffing are either curry potato or curry chicken (or meat of choice). usually much smaller in size and a nice small bite size snack
Will have to make this one day for a family reunion. Part of my ancestors came from Ireland/Great Britian. Would love to try some other recopies from the regions where they originally came from.
Yes, upper Michigan! I used to spend summers up there, beautiful area. Grampa used to make these, but he added carrots (but he was originally from Finland, maybe that's why)...they were so good. I'm going to make some for the holidays. :)
@@Kaspleen I moved from Plymouth when I was eight sadly, but still love a good pasty when I visit my uncle. London doesn't have many great pasty places
When I was in England and Wales, I would head for a bakery and get me a Cornish pastie. I loved thoughs pies or pasties. Watching this made me hungry for one.
Awe those first pics, reminds me of my mother, who is from the Upper Peninsula in Mich., would make them just like those. Chunks of beef, but she sliced the potatoes and carrots and onion. Layered it just like they do, mostly meat on top, so juices flow down on all the vegetables. Used to bring them to school for lunch, I was the envy of all who had typical sandwiches.
we have a similar pastry called empanada! although our ingredients contain chicken, potatoes, carrots and raisins. we also cook the fillings in broth first until it thickens (the potato is mushed at this point.) i love the different versions of this pastry ❤️ would love to try this one.
@@ElselchoGaming it’s from Mexican/Spanish origins that was just copied by Philippines. Our food is heavily influenced by their food culture and empanada is a Spanish word.
@T.J. Thunder The ones from around Valladolid are great. They have lamb, potato, asparagus, and cheese. They usually come with a sweet rich wine based gravy.
My wife and I who are Midwest Americans have watched a Sarah Millican comedy set where she had referenced something called a pasty and we're intrigued. It just so happened that they had them at our local supermarket and we picked up a coup!e to try later. Though I have not baked them yet I look forward to doing what I usually which is to also make them from scratch as well. Though not all, most things taste so much better when made from scratch using quality fresh ingredients.
💥A quick story .... I used to live in Somerset, Dunster, and hitchhiked down that way one weekend and ate one of those pasties .... absolutely bloody deee-lish ❗❗🤘
Here in Argentina we call them "empanadas", with the subtle difference that we stuff the dough with already cooked ingredients and then we put it in the oven.
Humans do like wrapping food in more food and giving it different names wherever they are. Empanadas, pierogi’s, pasties, Jamaican patty’s… An unbeatable combination :D
Shout out to our Cornish cousins! I’m here in Grass Valley California where lots of Cornish miners came during the gold rush. There’s still some Cornish influence here and pasties are a local staple and specialty. My personal favorites are from Marshal’s downtown.
reminds me of arriving in Polperro and the first stop was the bakery and eleven pasties were bought for our lunch that day and being a small lad mine would last me all day! i still have very found memories of 1960s Killigarth Manor and walking down the steep hill to just play in the sunshine. there is a picture somewhere at home of my sister and I at the very peak of the rocks there among the montbretia clumps.

I've been on holiday to St Agnes a couple of times and had pasties from this shop. They were really rather good and extremely filling.
Here among the Malay communities from both Singapore and Malaysia it’s called Epok-Epok. The filling varies, sardines, curry or vegetables
I had these once from a little food cart in London. I was a kid so I don't remember it too well but I remember it being absolutely delicious
Would you say it tasted "divine"?
@@amasim86 nah it tasted Jacob Devine 😍🤣
I’m telling you if anyone goes to Cornwall and doesn’t get a fresh made Cornish pastie you my friend are missing out
Indeed. Pasty and ice cream are the first orders of business in any trip to Cornwall!
We live in South Australia in an area known as Australia's little Cornwall because many miners migrated here. It is proud of its heritage. When you come here you have to try the pasties too.
Planning to go to Britain next year God willing. I'll try to stop by because I LOVE Cornish pies (we call them pies where I Iive) and I know for a fact it's not the real deal. Just watching this video made my mouth water like a little fountain...
It's quite hard to find really good pasties on Cornwall. I only found one amazing place
You haven't been looking hard enough!
I'm from Cornwall and no word of a lie, 7:45 is the best tip for eating one. Makes it so much better. Right on.
In the USA, specifically in the state of Michigan, specifically in northern Michigan, specifically in the Upper Peninsula they are the signature local food. Supposedly brought there by Cornish and Welsh miners who were brought over to work the copper and iron mines that that area was known for. Now Michigan likes to claim it essentially as its State Food. There are a lot of wonderful variations on the filling, my favorite being the Ruben pasty and a Mexican variation, the Picadillo pasty.
cornwall all the way wreckers rights
lamb and mint ones I think are the best but Americans don't eat much lamb.
Lets go Brandon
@@123Andersonev Americans like lamb, it's just that beef tastes better, and pork and chicken are cheaper so lamb gets stuck in a niche.
@@123Andersonev I love lamb, and although it's traditional, not so much the mint.
I love how English people describe their heritage. So passionate and incredibly clear. ❤
We are not english but thanks
From the outside, it looks very similar to an empanada. But the dough is definitely thicker and larger, and the filling a lot different.
Empanadas have actually been inspired by Cornish Pasties. Cornish miners brought the pasties to Argentina when emigrating, where they were then transformed into the Empanadas we know today.
@@hubbadubba6063 Interesting, because I am from Argentina, and we do the exact same braided shape to close our empanadas. Didn't know it came from the UK. We do have afternoon tea in Argentina too.
@@BrotherChad Empanada comes from the word empanar (to cover/wrap in bread).
Empanada was the first thing that came to my mind. In the Philippines, we have our version of empanada as well.
English & Welsh immigrants to S. American > Bring pasties > Settle and integrate = empanada. Simple
I am from Butte Montana. Copper mining was the main industry for over a hundred years. Pasties were our favorite food growing up. We still make them to this day. Best hot with brown gravy or cold with a slice of cheese. Unfortunately, we only make them a couple times per year.
There is a small town in Mexico called "Real del Monte", where the British came to silver mining in the 16th century.
The main foods are called "Pastes" straight from Cornish Pasties, even in the same context, where the miners used it for lunch.
Today there are two main types of "pastes", one with potatos and beef and another one with beans.
The British left a monumental clock with the same mechanism as the Big Ben as a thank you for allowing them to steal all of our minerals
En México se llaman Pastes, se originan en el estado de Hidalgo, en un pueblito que parece Ingles llamado Real del Monte, donde llegaron los ingleses a poner minas de plata y los locales adoptaron los pastes, hay de dos tipos, de papa con carne y de frijol, todos los demás son empanadas (pero no es lo mismo ni similar, incluso en la masa se nota)
You're welcome
@@rolandomartinez8084 At least you got a clock 😂 Most of the mining communities in Britain didn't get anything besides black lung.
@@carterjones8126 don't forget the land slips & mudslides!
I bet generations of people have enjoyed these scrumptious beauties :D
Quite a fun thing in Cornwall is the regional family bakery chains. Usually 4 or 5 shops over a couple towns or surrounding villages across all regions of the county.
It's a bit like football teams, everyone picks their favourite and swears by it :'D. You can easily pick out where someone is from just from their favourite pasty, I am a big Nile's fan!
Ivor dewney or nothing I’ll die by that
Anne's down at Leven
How about Malcolm Barnecutts? 🤗
@@gemmarichards6761 I rate a barney's they have flakey pastry not too far off a Niles, would be my 2ns choice. A strong mid-cornwall pasty
@@paddyrs0740 I worked for the fine fellow for 10 years so I'm loyal!😂 But have to admit I love a Phillips also!😅 Didn't realize Niles were still around??
Always appreciate these Regional Eats episodes. Great insight with local knowledge. Keep it up. Respect
Love a Cornish pastry, and the history behind it!
Oh my, Nigel is such a lovely chap. I love how Claudia and him play together!
Cornwall is such a beautiful part of the world 🥰 🇬🇧
As an American who grew up in Nevada County Ca. Gold Country .
THANK YOU ! These came to Nevada County Ca. In 1849 and are still there !
Honestly I wanna try that so bad! It looks delicious!!
@@BrotherChad I wish. Where I’m from you’re more likely to find falafel or a burrito than a Cornish pasty.
Come and visit Britain, you can get them everywhere! Just make sure it is a proper cornish one freshly baked and not the poor imitation you get cold in the supermarket or corner shop..
My Grandmother who was raised in mining country in the early 1900's would make Pasties. One of those fond memories growing up was eating her tasty creations.
us Jamaicans call dis patty but this is actually really cool to see where it came from interesting
Cornish pasties are just out of this world.
Pour ceux qui n'ont jamais essayé, il faut absolument que vous goutiez ça
I never knew THIS is what cornish pastry is! I saw it pop up on my recommendation and my mind immediately screamed "EMPANADA!" XD
Exactly!
Amazing! Amazing job, Nigel Hudson! Your St Agnes Bakery is serious stuff. I love it.
My late Mother used to make pasties for us when we were kids. They were delicious!. Now I only make them occasionally, but still to Mum's recipe. Yum yum!. 🤗
Whole family on my mother's side are cornish and we go back to cornwall every year. Pasties are an absolute treat to have down there
Damn, those things are filled to the brim. They remind me of Jamaican patties but with a whole lot more stuff.
Patties are derived from Cornish Pasties I believe. Cornish sailors brought them over and the Jamaican people started making them with their own ingredients and spices to make patties instead
@@mavenYGO That makes sense.
I discovered pasties on a road trip that took me through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Delish!!
Fun facts about pasties in Indonesia...
1. it's far smaller than the Cornish version and usually eaten as snacks, not lunch/whole meal
2. we usually substitute the potato for bihun (rice noodles/vermicelli), also sometimes we add not just meat, but also hard-boiled eggs.
3. most people call it "Pastel", from "Pastie", but eastern Indonesians, being culturally and historically closer to Spanish-colonized Philippines and Portuguese-colonzied East Timor, call it "Panada", from "Empanada"
So it is not a pastie?
There cup joke was absolutely spot on. What a lovely man. I'd love to hang out with him someday!
In Malaysia we call it as Karipap. It has 2 version small and big. Its cheap and filling.
Tapi kadang kadang kene scam gak bang, karipap inti oxygen hahaha
In Malaysia we call this currypuff. as the name implies, stuffing are either curry potato or curry chicken (or meat of choice). usually much smaller in size and a nice small bite size snack
I had these when we lived in England. They are huge - I never finished one.Much too much for me, but delicious.
And in Cornwall tourist areas bloody expensive.
Will have to make this one day for a family reunion. Part of my ancestors came from Ireland/Great Britian. Would love to try some other recopies from the regions where they originally came from.
"That's a Jenny's crimp" it's so sweet 😢
I am just amazed with Claudia's job, each episode is very informative and entertaining...
Wow! I learn so much about different type of foods with this channel!
❤️❤️❤️
Yes, upper Michigan! I used to spend summers up there, beautiful area. Grampa used to make these, but he added carrots (but he was originally from Finland, maybe that's why)...they were so good. I'm going to make some for the holidays. :)
I'm from Plymouth, not from Cornwall, but we love pasties just as much! I grew up eating nice hot pasties near the beach. So tasty.
Ok big question, oggy oggy or Ivor deweny?
@@ashtonvickers928 I always preferred an oggy
There is a shop in the Barbican that sells good ones. Neither Ivor or oggy.
@@Kaspleen I moved from Plymouth when I was eight sadly, but still love a good pasty when I visit my uncle. London doesn't have many great pasty places
My brother says the same about Wales. He cannot find good pasties there but when he comes down to Plymouth he always buys one
When I was in England and Wales, I would head for a bakery and get me a Cornish pastie.
I loved thoughs pies or pasties.
Watching this made me hungry for one.
"We use a very scientific measuring device...called a cup." 🤣
Lol I laughed at that
I love this show, I’ve watched every one ! Such a great host and such great content !!
I love pasties I'm from Newquay Cornwall there so yummy
Awe those first pics, reminds me of my mother, who is from the Upper Peninsula in Mich., would make them just like those. Chunks of beef, but she sliced the potatoes and carrots and onion. Layered it just like they do, mostly meat on top, so juices flow down on all the vegetables. Used to bring them to school for lunch, I was the envy of all who had typical sandwiches.
I love your videos, I'm a chef and I love making cooking videos! fascinating🤣🤣
omg. im starving now. Thanks Claudia for another amazing video
we have a similar pastry called empanada! although our ingredients contain chicken, potatoes, carrots and raisins. we also cook the fillings in broth first until it thickens (the potato is mushed at this point.) i love the different versions of this pastry ❤️ would love to try this one.
Where is the empanada from?
Im from the Philippines! We call it empanada here too! 😊
@@ElselchoGaming it’s from Mexican/Spanish origins that was just copied by Philippines. Our food is heavily influenced by their food culture and empanada is a Spanish word.
It is not a pastry.
@T.J. Thunder The ones from around Valladolid are great. They have lamb, potato, asparagus, and cheese. They usually come with a sweet rich wine based gravy.
My wife and I who are Midwest Americans have watched a Sarah Millican comedy set where she had referenced something called a pasty and we're intrigued. It just so happened that they had them at our local supermarket and we picked up a coup!e to try later. Though I have not baked them yet I look forward to doing what I usually which is to also make them from scratch as well. Though not all, most things taste so much better when made from scratch using quality fresh ingredients.
2:37 that was so corny but I'm dying 😭💀
Haha
You could say it was very cornish
Memories of holidays in Cornwall when I was a child. Now everytime I go to Cornwall I have to have a Cornish pasty and a cream tea.
And a crab & mayo sandwich!
💥A quick story .... I used to live in Somerset, Dunster, and hitchhiked down that way one weekend and ate one of those pasties .... absolutely bloody deee-lish ❗❗🤘
The gentleman is awesome. The pasty looks yummy I'd like to taste one of those 🤤
I probably shouldn't have watched this as I'm now craving a pasty, they looked yummy and i can't get one! (Shops are shut)
My great-grandparents were married in St Agnes before they emigrated to the States. My great-grandfather was, of course, a miner. We love pasties!
Can only imagine how amazing it must smell while cooking 🤤🤤
Many, many years ago i had a cornish pasty at lands end. Beautiful.
Here in Argentina we call them "empanadas", with the subtle difference that we stuff the dough with already cooked ingredients and then we put it in the oven.
We call that as well here in the Philippines!!! 😁😁😁❤️❤️🇵🇭
I call empanadas Spanish perogies. I will call these Cornish perogies
Humans do like wrapping food in more food and giving it different names wherever they are. Empanadas, pierogi’s, pasties, Jamaican patty’s… An unbeatable combination :D
Shout out to our Cornish cousins! I’m here in Grass Valley California where lots of Cornish miners came during the gold rush. There’s still some Cornish influence here and pasties are a local staple and specialty. My personal favorites are from Marshal’s downtown.
I’ve literally been obsessed with watching these lately ngl I’m so glad another one got uploaded today-😩😃😀
reminds me of arriving in Polperro and the first stop was the bakery and eleven pasties were bought for our lunch that day and being a small lad mine would last me all day! i still have very found memories of 1960s Killigarth Manor and walking down the steep hill to just play in the sunshine. there is a picture somewhere at home of my sister and I at the very peak of the rocks there among the montbretia clumps.
