The Cornish Pasty originates from Cornwall (Southwest England) and can be traced back as far as the 1200’s. At that time, pasties were baked by wives and mothers of tin miners; which was once a thriving industry in Cornwall. The pasties were made with a thick crimped edge along one side; which the miners would use as a handle and hold onto while eating. This was extremely useful because a miner’s hand would often be covered in arsenic from the mines. The miners would discard the handle when they were done, so they could never poison themselves while eating. The crusts were never wasted, though, as many miners were believers that ghosts, or “knockers”, inhabited the mines. The leftovers of the crusts would keep these ghosts content.
