" I was born with a pastie in my mouth" his poor mom!

I'm an Aussie and I had no idea where the "oi oi oi" thing came from! I'm so glad I know now... Also, I really loved learning about the local myths.

My Cornish Grandmother made them a bit different and taught all of us. She used parsley, too. The story she told about the crimp is that each area had their own identifiable artistic crimp. You knew who'd made it based upon the crimp.
Our pasties are made with the crimp across the top, and there is no waste as it's formed by pulling up the sides of an oval shaped dough and then pressed between the hands.
They look like little dinosaurs with the crimp across the top.😄

In Michigan we love pasties. Especially up North in our Upper Peninsula. We have Cornish ancestry that brought these delights to us.

I love getting “a letter from home” and then eating it!

In the USA,  we call swedes Rutabagas.  They're a cousin to what we call turnips but sweeter and usually much larger.

I lived in London in the early 80's. There was a bakery next to my tube station and I'd buy  one of these for breakfast. I haven't been back in years, but I still yell  "Oi!" When my dogs are getting into mischief

Amazing explanations of british traditional cuisine, this is what makes this channel so special.

Absolutely loved this, thanks fella. Great tip putting the salt in the egg for the wash.

I luv me some pasties. We used to get them when we went to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan when I was a kid. This'll be a great video to watch

My Dad was from Bradford Yorkshire.  Every year he’d get a butcher to do a corned beef brisket.   We’d have a big dinner of corned beef, potatoes, cabbage and onion.  With leftovers Dad would make pastry, then roll it out onto a large cookie sheet, dice up the veggies and meat small.he would place little dabs of butter, salt and pepper. He’d fold over the other half of pastry and bake it. We’d slice it up and nibble all afternoon on it. So it was one giant pasty.  My Dad was brought over to live in Canada when he was a boy.  He settled in Victoria BC, married and had 5 of us.  I’m the youngest and last one left.  With the leftover pastry from making pies, he’d layers of pastry with jam. That was always really good too.

Don Guardino's wife Jinger Curnow commenting: An American here, My grandparents were from Porthcurno, Cornwall & came to Bakersfield, California USA in 1900 (grandpa) & 1903 (grandma). He worked in the oil fields there. I love Cornish pasties. My grandma also used to make a saffron cake. Proud to be Cornish,  that's why I kept my maiden name!! 😊 KERNOW BYS VYKEN!!!!

I grew up eating pasties..  Lived in Grass Valley, Ca for 40 years and Pasties were a staple.  My neighbor used to baste hers with beef broth, especially delicious.  Thank you for sharing..  brings back really good memories.

What a lovely story about the “Knockers”. So sweet.

I did enjoy that and subscribed. Great video. My Auntie lived in Penzance and made pasties just that way. She taught me and I've been making and enjoying them for over 70 years. Brought back memories. She also made the windy pasty but called it the crab pasty. She did it just like you but used a bit of the pastry to make two "claw" biscuits. Looked just like a crab. Well done !

My great grandparents on my father's, mother's side, were from Cornwall.  They moved to Michigan's upper peninsula, in the late 1800s, to work in the copper mines.  They brought the family pasty recipe and passed it down, through the generations.  I grew up eating pasties and the big eaters, in the family were served, what my grandma called "footers", because they were 12" long and very filling. Pasties were ALWAYS served with ketchup, and gravy was forbidden!

Great recipe and just like the one I have from my Cornish nanny. I freeze the butter and lard for about half an hour and grate it in the bowl with the flour. That way you can dip the block into the flour every now and then to help it all separate. Never heard of a windy pasty but looked awesome and I'll definitely do that with my leftover pastry next time. I've made your Cornish pasty pie a couple of times too and everyone loves it. Thanks for the great content.

Thank you for sharing your tips, history, facts, and myths.

Only this cookery channel comes with history and tales too. Great stuff.

The windy is for mom who got up in the middle of the night to make sure her men made it into the mine with food.  My family is Welsh
