  • Made with a golden pastry enveloping a tender beef and vegetable filling, Cornish pasties have humble origins. Originated as a portable lunch for workers and notably miners, everything in a pasty - from the pastry dough to its fillings - is made to withstand a journey underground without falling apart.

    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.

      To say " Hunger is the best sauce" is correct in this case. They didn't even bother to mention a hint of seasoning and spice, like Salt or Pepper, well the miners were among the poorest of the poor, they couldn't afford the imported delicacies

    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.

    The main foods are called "Pastes" straight from Cornish Pasties, even in the same context, where the miners used it for lunch.

    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.

    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"

    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.
