    Hi from Cornwall, UK!
    The Cornish pasty didn't only have a vegetable, protein and starch... one half was the 'meat' side, so the 'main course', the other half had a sweet or fruit dessert, so a complete meal in one. Also the crust was thick to give them something to hold on to - and didn't eat, because the miner would often have arsenic on his hands.

      My father was born near Sunderland and my grandfather came from a miners family and worked in the mines as a young boy. Yes the pasties have a think sturdy crust and the crimped edge was held onto and then thrown away due to the mess of the miners hands. My grandmother always made pasties with canned corned beef, potato, carrot, onion and peas. She never put butter in it though. I'd think the mince would release enough fat by itself.

Prayers for an easy delivery and we are just so excited and happy for you both. You'll be the very best parents and all the grandparents will be so excited too. Congratulations when baby makes 3.

    The Cornish pasty would be made with lamb and turnip carrots and onions and the wives would make them one side savory and one side sweet with a jam fill with a thick crimped edge so they could hold the pasty at the edge so that the coal hands wouldn't touch the main pasty. Love the videos Becky, look forward to them so much.

    It depends on where you are from in Michigan as to pasties being a staple. It is a Upper (as in upper peninsula) thing and the copper miners and loggers ate them. You can find them in diners in the U.P. and upper lower Michigan (finger tip area).

    The deep crimp on the pastie was so the miners could hold it as a handle as their hands were covered in coal dust. The crimp would then be thrown away. They also used to have a half savoury and half sweet pastie so a whole meal would be in one pastie. One of the best meals in the world would be sitting on a sea wall in Cornwall Uk (home of the pastie) eating a traditional pastie and watching the tide come in and out. It’s beautiful
