The big thick bit of pastry running along one edge, that was put there to be discarded by cornish tin miners with dirty hands.
And they used to fill one half with something savoury, the other half with something sweet.

Pasties, sounds like a cue for me. Pastry and unspecified filling? Close enough to a pie then.

And I now expect aMoCS to be along shortly with a QI buzzer telling us all how that's all a common misconception.

They were always throwing half their dinner away those penniless Cornish tin-miners.

Peters Pasties are the best.....sell them in that chippy half way along the Barking Road where the old boy behind the counter always gives you the wrong
change (normally too much!)...

I went to Cornwall for 5 days on a School Trip when I was about 8 or 9. It was brilliant. I loved it. We learned so many things and had a super duper time. AND
I snogged Joanne Farrow. First bloke in school to use the tongue.
Of course it was an educational trip so some skooling had to be undertaken. One Jethro looking bender, who was an excellent story teller, enthralled us all with many a cornish folklore. My particular favourite was that of the Spriggin... t'was peace time after the bloody five hundred year war between the cornish elves and the trolls (where is Moll nowadays, btw?). The fairy's had almost become extinct from the land, not only this but the goblins and pixies were in a shocking way.... Then the Spriggins basically rocked up (miss you Mi Mi) ripped shit up and saved the day. Yippe Kay yay mother fuckers! Anyhoo to cut a long, albeit, addictively deceptive tale, when we got back to school we had to do our Field Report. I of course immediately got down to writing a poem about the Spriggin uprising. Luckily for you, I can remember it word for word. Would you like to read it? Are you sure? It's very emotive... Ok ok ok, don't say I didn't warn you. Spriggins spit Spriggins steal Spriggins eat babies for every meal They create whirlwinds They're always grinning But that doesn't stop them mining for tin THE END. |

Herts - "And they used to fill one half with something savoury, the other half with something sweet."
That would be a Bedfordshire Clanger. |
