Those pasties look delicious! Love 'em! I grew up in Michigan, where alot of Cornish miners emigrated and brought the pasty recipes with them. They are very popular there. Now I am in Florida, no pastie shops! I have to make my own, but love to watch others make them. Thanks for the upload.
Many thanks as I was looking for an example of pasties being made. I found a recipe for squirrel pasties. Can't wait! 2:50 - Ha, ha, ha! Gotta love moments like that.
@alvarock68 My grandfather's family were miners who ended up in Mexico at one point - in fact my great great grandmother was Mexican (they met while they were out there)! Maybe there's a link along the way? :)
@CyberRuby wow ! Yes actually the Pasty.. "PASTES" in Mexico.. were a heritage from the british... it's a small world after all =) cheers ! Hope to go one day to your country..
A lovely film; something like this is worth a hundred, stagemanaged 'professional' cooking sketches with scriptwriters, researchers, home economists et al. Real food is the preserve of real people. Superb. Could I ask one thing, where is your Gran's dialect from? Is it N.Cumbria (old Cumberland) ? Best regards.
great video food looks yum, but its not a Cornish pasty the crimp should always be on the side, it was designed like that so miners could hold on to the crimped edge with out covering the main part in arsenic and the crust would be thrown to the "knockers" to please them otherwise the "knockers" might lead them into danger,( ok so its a myth but a fun one :D)
My Cornish relatives were miners too; they ended up working in South America (Chile, Mexico) and some came back married, so I have Mexican heritage through my Cornish side. I guess I should make a 'How to roll a tortilla' video now!
A lot of people mistakenly think pasties are Finnish because of the all the Finns in the UP. Good to know you too know their true heritage. If we wanna talk about good things the Finns contributed to UP culture, pulla is ridiculously good. Mmm.... pulla.
When the cornish asty was first invented to feed the miners in the mines, they had a savoury side and a sweeet side so you have lunch and pudding in one. the only problem was that you didnt know which one was which so you could of had pudding before lunch xD
I would like to say that some of you maybe misleaded into believing her accent is cornish, she is speaking with a northern accent maybe Yorkshire or Manchester. So please make sure you know what you are talking about before you comment. Thanks from Penzance. Meur ras....
You're quite right - my grandma was born and bred in East Yorkshire, and met my Grandfer when he moved up from Falmouth in the 1930s. Grandma learned her pasty skills from his mother on their frequent trips 'down home'.
Your gran has fantastic pasty skills. Every pasty should look a bit different, the ones that look alike have been splurged out of a machine. I like the over-the-top crimp, some people call that the Devon crimp, but it is a more difficult skill to master. I bet you were on those pasties before they were cool enough to eat
I come from Northern Michigan is the US and it has a very large Cornish settlement because of the mining and I want you to know that we take out pasties very seriously here and the tradition has been passed on and is alive and well in the US! Yummy with some saffron bread and chow chow!
No rules, but equal-sized cubes of potato, swede turnip (what you probably call rutubaga)onion and chuck steak is traditional, although in my experience it varies depending on what's at hand ;o)
i have only eaten Finnish Pasties since my great grandmother was Finnish. but given the chance i would love to try a Cornish pasty. Pasties are one of my favorite foods.
I love hearing the Cornish accent. My ancestors came from from Crowan church town south of Cambourne. I haven't been back there for almost 30 years and had forgotten the accent of my relatives there. Quite a treat. We, of course have pasties traditionally every Christmas eve.
What a fun video. I felt like I was hanging out with your family for dinner :)

Sorry to moan, but that aint a proper cornish pasty. The crimping needs to be on the side so you can hold it! not on the top.

Apparently Cornish miners populated the four corners of the world taking their skills they learned in the tin industry.

This wasn't really meant as an instructional video - more of a personal nostalgia keep-sake, but here tis:
Potatoes
Swede (or Turnip)
Onion
Some kind of meat (or Quorn, as my hubby is veggy)
Season to taste
Cook for about an hour... et voila. Simple and wonderful.
