Campfire Cooking - Cornish Pasties Baked in a Reflector Oven.

[@davehughes8856]

Welcome back Simon. Missed my weekly viewing. More please.

[@eddieweyer3535]

Finding a beer mixed in with firewood, picking it up, looking at it, and saying, BONUS , is priceless!!!! You ROCK!!!!

[@airpaprika]

Yay! Simon is back!

[@lifelearner47]

I haven't lived in the UK for 35 years, but last week I had a sudden urge to make & eat a Cornish pasty! And now I know how. Thank you so much, you have made my day.

[@deannaerwin6419]

If you’re in the US, a trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan can fulfill that pastie urge.

[@KeithO29]

@@deannaerwin6419 I found that out on a recent motorcycle trip. Delish.

[@eps0m1066]

@@deannaerwin6419curious to know; did that area have a lot of Cornish settlers then?

[@deannaerwin6419]

@@eps0m1066 Cornish miners were encouraged to settle in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Mostly iron ore and copper mines. We also had waves of Finnish immigrants- very similar climate. I think there is still a Finnish language radio station here.

Very good to see you again, Simon! Thanks.

[@stuckinmopro8533]

You and Andy should join together to write a cookbook. It would be great!

[@markmiller5577]

Simon really is a good cook.

[@KimberlyGreen]

Hi Simon. Just want to say that the little variations in your on-screen tag line ("Simon, a bloke in Kernow" and so forth) are still fun and amusing. All these years later, I still appreciate that you do them.

[@ShavanoOutdoors]

I completely agree! I love those as well.

[@JasonMcCann841]

Simon should have 500+ subscribers.

Agreed! A bloke in a canoe is one of my favorites.

[@Kenbur]

Good morning Simon - thanks for visiting Ginge. I haven't heard how he was doing since he left Instagram and I also left Instagram shortly after him. Hi, Ginge IF you are reading this. Just lovely! Also Simon after all these years of watching, I think I figured out why I"'m addicted to your channel - outside of the obvious - your videos just have that "I'm home for a visit and most things are the same giving it that "comfortable feeling of catching up with friends and family, yet there is that touch of "newness/difference" that makes each video something I don't want to miss out on." Don't know if that makes sense or not, but the videos are like comfort food for the mind and soul. Thanks again for sharing parts of "real life" with us.

[@Tom_Bee_]

Yep

[@chrisponsano4378]

Far too long between videos! You got us hooked on weekly programs. More MREs. More canoe camps, more instructional videos, more tours of historical sites. Just more Simon, please.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you mate! 🙏🏻

[@gailknowles3804]

Well said, Kenbur. He has something special and I think you described it perfectly.

[@bradmorcom1788]

Im a 5th generation miner of Cornish decent. I was taught to put a few cubes of butter on top with salt and pepper before we crimped the two halves together. Then a few fork pokes on the top crust.

[@papajeff5486]

Oh, yeah, that would be delicious.

[@hansschmid3937]

Pleased to see you back on tour, Simon! Especially with such a delicious art of cooking! Thank you Simon!

[@thomasmacias5032]

I agree yay Simon is back camping or walking or breathing doing whatever cooking glad to see Simon. We love Simon here in Northern California.🙏💯🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@papajeff5486]

ABSOLUTELY, Simon is the best. Cooking Cornish pasties in Cornwall is cool. When Simon first started, his meals were more modest. Now, WHEWWW, he’s turned into a real chef! Good on him! Thanks for sharing…from US, east Tennessee.

Simon, you’re missed. I hope family, life, work, all is well. Thanks for keeping this posted…from an old man in the US, hills of Tennessee.

[@Hiltok]

Another lovely relaxed video for the viewers, regardless of your concerns about how the pasties were cooking. Simon, this was a treat. Don't worry about the comments/calls for more regular videos. March to your own drum and roll along at whatever pace keeps your life in balance. That way, we'll all keep enjoying your videos while you keep enjoying making them.

[@xaraxania]

finally, I've missed your films Simon, so good to see you again :)

[@OutpostCycleandGear]

Great to have you back!!!

[@manjeetbora21]

Good to see you back Simon.. As usual, Loved it

[@SisterImawhosoever]

What a treat to see you making what I grew up on in Michigan’s (USA) Upper Peninsula. The history… When you think of the Upper Peninsula’s favorite food, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Pasties, right? The “pot pie without a pot”, pasties have become a northern Michigan staple. Not only are they a flavorful handheld pastry but are also rich in Michigan history. The pasty came to the United States when Cornish miners immigrated here in the 1840s. The dish can be dated all the way back to 1150 in England. The pasty gained popularity with miners because it was easy to bring into the mines, kept them full throughout the long work days and could stay warm up to 10 hours.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

A fine dish and deservedly so!

[@kimbieandi]

There are tons of pasty stores in the UP too. It's always the first stop when I'm up there!

[@rockkhound943]

Thank you for the history. I'm making some tomorrow night ... I'm super excited

[@damogranheart5521]

Pasties stores can also be found in Northern Minnesota! Guess what I'm going to be making!

[@BurtReynoldstash]

That’s awesome the pasty has travelled so far. They also had half with meat inside. The other half with jam ( jello) in it.

[@JohnBennett-j4j]

Great to see Ginge again. Have a lovely summer Simon. All the best from the Suffolk coast 👊🙏❤️

[@BeeKay4444]

Hi Simon…..I hope all is well in your world. I have really been missing seeing your smiling face and hearing your laugh. I hope you will post again soon. All the best from me in 🇨🇦

[@lizburgess4398]

I'm from the US, Michigan. Pasties are a staple in our upper peninsula. They were popular with the copper miners.

[@elizabethcobb3316]

In upstate NY, USA near Rochester, we call it a rutabaga. Some folks call it a waxed turnip. Delicious cooked and mashed with some potato. 🤤

[@rockkhound943]

As in black pudding I assume ??.... sorry I'm American lol.... just curious

​@rockkhound943 no, they used to have a sweet section for afters. Or so I've heard.

[@carolinedavis1468]

@@Tom_Bee_ no the pudding was in the end of the pasty also had spoon of clotted cream in as well

Yes!!! So glad you're back Simon. I've been watching other videos and was just thinking, where is Simon? So good to see you again. Your Cornish Pastie looks delicious! We grew up with those in my family here in Canada...my grandmother, mom and aunt made them, pork pies and meat pies at least once a week.....ahhhh...the memories. You've got me going now, I will be making those as Autumn nears. Thank you!

[@dubemccready7438]

Hi Scotty from Australia, a neat idea about the Cornish pasties, while in our third form year at Intermediate we had home life at school and Cornish pasties was one of the items we had to learn to cook (this was education in NZ) we loved the cooking classes while at Intermediate level. So cheers.

[@Bytheway-m3z]

Yep just good old fashioned wholesome veiwimg thanks simon😊

I didn't think this was possible. Well done!

[@Arizona-Sonoran-Desert-Guy]

Thanks for filming this. I enjoyed your past paddles with Ginge and was wondering how he and the dogs were doing. So lovely to see them again. Nice ending, feeding Dram and Tor; they gobbled it down, so the pasties must have been top-drawer.

[@TonyM540]

Some of the things I miss from UK, scotch eggs , pork pies and Cornish pasties .

[@frankfaubert1927]

OMG, there actually is a Gingy! I've got to admit mate, I was getting a very strong Ripper vibe when you kept mentioning Gingy but we never got to see him lol. Great video Simon. I'm trying to convince a British cook here in Canada to add more British things on her menu. She already makes the best Canadian things like poutine, smoked tri tip sandwiches and, the one that I especially love, Scotch eggs, but pasties would make a great handheld sandwich for folks on the go.

[@lscblackwell9202]

Always love it when a "Simon, a bloke in the woods" notification pops up in KZbin! Your Cornish Pasties remind me of my fried apple pies that I made a couple of times for our camping group. There's hardly any of our group left now. We miss those wonderful times. It think that's why I enjoy your videos so much. They take me back to those days. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. It looked to me that you did a wonderful job! And it was so good to see your old friend Ginge and his puppers. Take care and be safe and I will be looking forward to your next adventure! 😊👍❤

My parents are from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where miners from Cornwall emigrated to work in the copper mines. So pasties have been a favorite of our family for years. And we do call Swedes, Rutabagas, and they are essential for a Cornish Pasty! Thanks for the fun video.

Good to see you back at it, good mod to your oven (did it help) certainly those pasties look cooked to perfection.

[@dwaynef5410]

Always love watching your excursions Simon! Some advise on the ziplock mixing bag? Put a little olive oil in the bag first and mix it around to coat the inner bag, than your flour won’t stick so bad to it. Cheers!

Well done! I grew up near Helston in the south of Cornwall and those looked like great pasties - proper job! 🙂👍
