Cornish miners also emigrated to Peru, Peruvian (Cornish) Pasty AKA Peruvian Empanada, On and All.

As someone from the Westcountry, those pasties almost made me cry aha

[@rogueuniversities6866]

In a good way or a bad way? And blame the Cornish immigrants

[@andrewcaddy298]

My great grandfather was a tin miner in Cornwall. The deepest mine in Cornwall is 3,300 feet. Deepest mine in USA is 2,299 feet. Pasties were made by the miners wives for their crib. Crib means lunch. They were dropped down the mines and on the way down they shouted oggy oggy oggy. When the pasty was retrieved by the miners their reply was oi oi oi. You had beef and veg at one end and fruit in the other. The crimp was made as a handle to hold the pasty .

They’d be best coming to the uk for some tips 🤦‍♂️

[@andrewcaddy298]

I’m born and bred Cornish and my father always told me that Cornish miners used to be the best in the world a long time ago. That’s why a lot of Cornish men ended up in the USA in the 1800s to mine the silver . Those mining towns towns up in the hills are responsible for the development of cities like LA.

As an independent observer from Scotland, I'm sorry, my favourite pasties have been eaten in Wales. But never underestimate the formidable challenge that the fabled Forfar Bridie brings to this delicious discussion of meaty pastry-based politics. Gravy?

[@Harrywilkinscornwall]

St Agnes pasty’s are the best. Watch insider as they did a vid on it

[@Harrywilkinscornwall]

3:43 as someone from Cornwall, Eating a pasty with a fork is criminal. We have proper Cornish pasty’s here not an interpretation with chunks of beef, swede and potato’s (but diced not strips) in ruff pastry. We don’t use beef mince here in pasty’s.

[@Shaw7373]

I think ivor dewdneys uses mince or something. They're my favourite after one guy I know in Cornwall. In Landrake, I think.

[@Shaw7373]

Pasties > pizza. I'm a westcounty boy, i could never say otherwise but honestly, pasties are brilliant, and healthy compared to any other fast food

[@Shaw7373]

As a westcounty man, I've tried most foods, from all continents. Still nothing satisfies me like a good pasty.

[@lindathomas5500]

Oh wow…. Beef skirt, turnip, onion, Potatoe with a good dollop of butter, salt & pepper for the gravy. That is all that should be in your pasty.. also where is the crimp? Lol.. sorry but they really aren’t traditional Cornish pasties! 😜i feel we in Kernow should send you guys some proper Cornish oggies in some care packages, along with some saffron cakes and Cornish clotted cream! 👌

[@matteogriseri6513]

I'm fairly sure that "Cudighi" traces back to "cotechino", a pork sausage that's traditionally eaten on New Year's eve or Christmas in Italy.

[@Larky2k]

I'm sorry that's not a pasty.

Blame the Cornish immigrants, they're the ones who "introduced" it.

As a Cornishman, seeing minced beef in a pasty is totally weird... (Almost as bad as a vegan pasty)

[@ReddersTV]

As a Cornish man, I find these pasties offensive. Not quite "Ginsters" offensive, but still offensive.😄 these are not Cornish Pasties.

[@rogueuniversities6866]

As a non-Cornish man, Ginsters pasties are really nice

That woman at 3:30 claiming that a Cornish pasty is like a pie, WHAT? It's not a pie, it's a Cornish pasty, love! Why would Americans even want to have their poor take on a BRITISH dish when you can just get some from a local British bakery?

[@beaudidlyno1]

Definitely not a pastie. Beef potato and sweed with salt and pepper... That's it..

[@wallythewondercorncake8657]

That's pretty much what they used tho. Rutabaga is just what Americans call swede

[@beaudidlyno1]

But not minced beef and definitely no herbs.

[@nightfish1234]

Its an insult to real Cornish pasty s

[@dcblitz2868]

It was made for minors so there dirty hands wouldn’t touch the pasty then they would frow away the crusty bit covered in coal
