The Cornish Pasty is most... | Quizzland Trivia Answers

ElColino8

Originally they were half savoury half sweet, main course and pudding. Cornish for Pasty is Oggy. They were delivered to the Miners with a chant of Oggy Oggy Oggy from the top of the Mineshaft! The Miners would reply Oi Oi Oi in recognition that their lunch had arrived! People regularly chant this at sporting events etc and have no idea that they are shouting Pasty Pasty Pasty! 🤦‍♂️😂

Player #379499, in some areas the pasty had apple at the other end from the meat.my great gran used to send cornish clotted cream with the pasty.many families always had a large bowl of cream on the table at all meals.We are a very healthy group!

Player Elf Counsel, that is true. The plaited crust was how they held the pasty and then the crust was thrown away. Apparently their hands were often soiled in arsenic from mining.

I like how people share their relevant stories and information about the subject

The crust was not eaten but used as a handle so the food would not get dirty from the miners hands.

ElColino8, Thank you that was fascinating. I never knew that!

Silverwolf176, quite right, Cornwall was mostly tin mines, arsenic is abundant where tin is found.

ElColino8, Australians ‘borrowed’ the ‘Oggy Oggy Oggy Oi Oi Oi’ chant from the Cornish miners, and turned it into a chant for supporting the Australian cricket team: ‘Aussie Aussie Aussie Oy Oy Oy’!

Silverwolf176, the plaited crust is called crimping (and also the verb).

ElColino8, thank you! I always wondered why everyone chants that when entering a tunnel on a run.

Olly

Elcolino8. That's some interesting information, thank you. Mind you, I haven't heard that chanted for a long time. Perhaps in this day & age it's too harmless!!

Player Elf Council, I've heard cream from King Island (just off mainland Tassie in Bass Strait) is supposed to be very rich. Available in Woollies & Coles...
