In the late 1800s, amidst the rugged landscapes of Cornwall, two young miners found solace in their croust time at an unidentified mine. As they sat down to refuel their weary bodies, a tantalizing aroma filled the air - it was the unmistakable scent of Cornish pasties. These hearty hand pies were a staple among miners, providing them with sustenance and comfort during long hours underground. The year was 1892 when East Pool Mine in Illogan became witness to this timeless tradition. A group of Cornish miners gathered at rest on the 310 level, savoring every bite of their beloved pasties. The camaraderie shared over these delectable treats created bonds that transcended mere workplace acquaintanceship. Across Cornwall's mining landscape, from South Condurrow Mine in Camborne to Padstow's bustling bakery scene, Cornish pasties reigned supreme. They embodied not only regional pride but also represented England's rich culinary heritage within Europe. As time marched on into probably 1893 at East Pool Mine once again, these savory delicacies continued to fuel hardworking souls deep beneath the earth's surface. Their flaky crusts encased a medley of ingredients - tender beef or lamb mingling with potatoes and onions - creating a symphony of flavors that satisfied even the most voracious appetites. Beyond mines and bakeries alike, Cornish pasties made appearances in various forms throughout history. From paintings depicting bakers meticulously preparing pies on canvas to lithographs capturing joyous moments like skating on ice while singing comic songs about these iconic treats by Frank W Green and Alfred Lee. Even during times of war such as World War I in 1916 when soldiers needed nourishment more than ever before; a soldier could find solace in biting into a Cornish Pasty specially prepared for him – reminding him not just of home but also offering comfort in the face of adversity.
