Gear Farm Pasty Company, Helston Veggie Bake – Add leftover veggie bake or cauliflower cheese to your wraps. Great for using up last nights Sunday dinner. Pasties are well known for being the main food that Cornish miners used to eat while working. Filled with potato, onion, and swede, they were affordable for families, but also calorific to give the miners energy. Occasionally there would be some meat in them, though this was uncommon at the time and usually only scraps. The pasty was shaped as a ‘D’ to make transporting and eating easier for the miners, with the crimp running along the side (the Cornish way). They would hold the crust with their hands (which were exposed to arsenic in the mines) and only eat the rest – thankfully we get to enjoy the crust nowadays! Add the cubes of butter to the bowl and then, using your fingers, rub them in until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs with no large lumps of butter remaining.
