This lesson is so useful for its vocabulary such as pewter dishes, replicated and reminiscent, as pewter refers one kinds of metal that are used for generating some traditional dishes. In addition, reminiscent describes about something popular that people remind, as well as replicated is the past form of replicate that means rewrite or review something.
Wonderful lesson because I spent my last summer holidays in London and Cornwall. I've eaten a lot of pasty in Saint'Ives, Truro, Land's End, Tintagel and Penzance. So tasty
Delicious 6-minute English video! In Argentina we have a similar dish which we call "empanadas". The word in a way means something like "in bread" because the filling is put inside a dough container. We have them filled with meat+boiled egg+ currants+olives+onion+some other ingrediends. Then chicken, ham and cheese, corn and onion, blue cheese, chorizo and green onions... There´s a wide variety of flavours depending on the filling and the region you visit in our country. Thank you BBC Learning for such interesting topics you post!
Hidalgo, Mexico was home of many british miners who brought football and pasties. In Mexico pasties are prepared of different fillings such as al pastor meat or mole with chicken. 👌🏻
Wow...all of my life I thinked pasty with potato was originary from Salta, a province in the north of Argentina. In facts it's called "empanadas salteñas". Now results that exist the same across the world!..are not pasty arabian?. Samsa, pasty or empanada...it's yummy, it doesn't matter the name ☺️
Same thing is quite popular in South Asia. It is known as samosa. Fillings of samosa vary from region to region. Some people fill it with minced meat, some with vegetables.
Hi, in Mexico in the magic village of Real del Monte, the pasty is the most representative meal. This village in Mexico has its origins with the arrival back on XVII century with people from England, now I know for sure the true origins of pasty we call it " paste"
This is correct. Just few minutes ago i ate a Pastr made of Meat, onions and potatoes...can you believe the shop where i bought my Pastes is called "The Queen"...can you beleive that.
Here in Galicia (Spain) we are experts making empanada and empanadillas, as we called them. In fact the first book of recipes it was written in 1520 in Catalonian, and some historians think that this kind of food it was bringing to Spain from Muslims, so many years before that. So that is a delicious food with a lot of history.
Neil Hello. This is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I’m Neil. Rob And I’m Rob. Neil Fancy a game of ‘food connections’, Rob? I’ll name a place and you say the first food that comes to mind. Ready? Rob Yeah, sure, let’s go! Neil Italy. Rob Erm…’pizza’ - or ‘lasagne’. Rob New York? Neil ‘Hot dogs’, of course. Or maybe ‘bagels’. How about… Cornwall from the UK? Rob If it’s Cornwall, it must be the famous ‘Cornish pasty’, right? Neil That’s right! Cornwall, the region which forms the south-western tip of Britain, is as famous for its pasties as New York is for hot dogs. In this programme we’ll be finding out all about Cornish pasties. We’ll hear how it’s gone from humble beginnings to become a symbol of Cornish identity and spread around the world to Jamaica, Argentina and Brazil. Rob But what exactly is a pasty, Neil? Somewhere between a pie and a sandwich, right? A piece of pastry which is turned over and crimped along the side to make two corners… Neil … and filled with different ingredients - which brings me to my quiz question for today, Rob. What is the traditional filling in an authentic Cornish pasty? Is it: a) Chicken, avocado and brie b) Beef, potato and turnip c) Pork, onion and chorizo Rob Well, chorizo is Spanish isn’t it? And avocado with brie doesn’t sound traditionally Cornish, so I’ll say b) beef, potato and turnip. Neil OK, Rob. We’ll find out later if you were right. What’s for sure is that the Cornish pasty has had a long history as BBC Radio 4’s The Food Programme discovered. They spoke to Dr Polly Russell, a public life curator at the British Library. Here she is reading from one of the earliest mentions of pasties from the late 17th century: Polly Russell, Public Life Curator, British Library There’s a lovely bit here where he’s describing what a housewife in Hertfordshire does and he’s talking about her way to make pork pies and pork pasties: pies may be made and baked either raised in paste earthen pans or in pewter dishes or in the shape of a turnover, two-cornered pasties. So that’s a very early reference to a pasty in the shape, I think, that we know it but also being made specifically for labourers - to be feeding labourers on a farm at harvest time. Rob The earliest pasties were made in pewter dishes - a traditional cooking plate made of a silver-coloured metal called ‘pewter’. Neil And they were eaten by agricultural labourers - workers doing physical farm work during harvest time - the weeks in autumn when crops like wheat are cut and collected from the fields. Rob But it wasn’t only farmers and labourers who ate pasties. As well as its farms and fishing, Cornwall was famous for tin mines, as Ruth Huxley of the Cornish Pasty Association explains: Ruth Huxley, Cornish Pasty Association Pasties would have been eaten by lots of people who went to work but it just worked perfectly down mines, and Cornwall became the world capital of mining. And so lots of pasties were made, lots of pasties were eaten and then that mining community went all over the world and took the pasty with them. Neil Pasties were eaten by hungry workers involved in the mining industry - digging up materials such as coal or metals like gold, or in Cornwall tin, from the ground. Rob So far we’ve been talking about Cornwall. But you said the Cornish pasty has spread around the world, Neil. How did that happen? Neil Well, that’s connected to the tin miners we just talked about. Here’s Polly Russell again: Polly Russell, Public Life Curator, British Library This is replicated, not just in Mexico but with migrants moving to America, to Minnesota, to Canada, to Australia. So anyone who travels to many of those places now will see foods which are incredibly reminiscent and familiar and just like Cornish pasties. Neil In the 19th century, many Cornish tin miners emigrated, moving abroad to start a better life. Their pasty recipes were replicated - or copied exactly, in the new places where they landed, from America to Australia. Rob And that’s why in many places around the world you can find food which is reminiscent of pasties - meaning it reminds you of something similar, in this case the original Cornish pasty… with its traditional filling of… what’s was your quiz question again, Neil? Neil Ah, yes. I asked you what the traditional Cornish pasty filling was? You said… Rob I said b) beef, potato and turnip. Neil And you were right! ‘Keslowena’, Rob - that’s Cornish for ‘congratulations’! Rob ‘Heb grev’, Neil - that’s ‘no problem’! Neil In fact those other fillings - chorizo, avocado and brie - really did feature in pasties entered for this year’s Annual World Pasty Championships, held in Cornwall every spring. Other pasty-inspired ideas include Argentinian chimichurri empanadas and spicy Jamaican patties. Rob So the pasty is still going strong, both in Cornwall and around the world. Neil Today we’ve been discussing Cornish pasties - a kind of filled pastry from the south-west of England, originally made in pewter dishes - a silver-coloured metal dish. Rob Pasties were eaten by agricultural labourers - farm workers bringing in the autumn harvest - the time when crops are cut and collected from the fields, and also by workers in the tin mining industry - digging up metals like tin from underground. Neil Later, when these miners emigrated to new lands, pasties were replicated - cooked again in the same way. Rob In fact Cornish miners moved to so many new countries that today, almost every corner of the world has food reminiscent of - or reminding you of, the original Cornish pasty. Neil That’s all for today. Join us again soon for more topical discussion and vocabulary on 6 Minute English. Bye for now! Rob Bye.
Potato, carrot, onion, chilli etc. Its based on your choice what types of veg you like to enjoy. I actually forgot its name but these types of food are called "Pitha" here. This is in Bengali.
I have done some research, and no, the pasty was not born in Cornwall. It dates back to the Persian times. And from there it spread all over the eastern world. The Muslins invaded Spain in 711 AD. Among the food they introduced was the empanadilla o empanada (name given in Argentina). The Empanada was brought to Argentina when the Spanish invaded and looted the American continent in the 15th Century.
Cornish isn't English and beef and potato wasnt used until the potato was brought back from Latin Americas. This video is a joke the traditional was fish most of the time in one half and dessert in the other from seasonal fruit.
With population growth and climate change, we might have to radically change our diets in the future. Listen to a discussion about the food of the future: ruclips.net/video/Y3vHuw97AiA/видео.html

We're happy to hear that you're enjoying your videos and finding the new vocabulary useful! 👍
@@bbclearningenglish yes, I am. Thank you.
In Viêt Nam , we have that too but we call it's "bánh gối " that mean pillow cake while translating word by word in English
Wonderful lesson because I spent my last summer holidays in London and Cornwall.
I've eaten a lot of pasty in Saint'Ives, Truro, Land's End, Tintagel and Penzance.

It sounds delicious! We'd love to try "empanadas" one day! 😃😃

Hidalgo, Mexico was home of many british miners who brought football and pasties. In Mexico pasties are prepared of different fillings such as al pastor meat or mole with chicken. 👌🏻
We just searched for "Al pastor meat". It looks like it would make a great pasty! We'd love to try it one day!
Hello. I live in middle Asia and we call it "samsa", sometimes with only meat and onion, sometimes with potato also.
We have a lot of Asian food in the UK. Here, we call these "Samosas" - and we absolutely love them! What a delicious snack! 😋
Wow...all of my life I thinked pasty with potato was originary from Salta, a province in the north of Argentina. In facts it's called "empanadas salteñas". Now results that exist the same across the world!..are not pasty arabian?. Samsa, pasty or empanada...it's yummy, it doesn't matter the name ☺️

In India, we call it samosa or gunjiya(sweet version). It's mostly vegetarian. The filling is made up of potatoes and peas.
We love "pastel" in Brazil, but I had no idea it's came from England. Here we like it filled with cheese or meat.

Mosab Cool thank you!
Thank you :)
This lesson made me hungry..In Syria, we call it Sambosak.The fill is either cheese or beef with onions or dates.
I'm studying at University of Exeter in Penryn Campus! The best that I have ever eaten: Cornish Pasty and Cream teas!
The same thing we have in India also but we mostly use different vegitables to fill this.
What type of vegetables do you use and what do you call this type of food?
Potato, carrot, onion, chilli etc.
Its based on your choice what types of veg you like to enjoy.
I actually forgot its name but these types of food are called "Pitha" here. This is in Bengali.
Sooooooooooooooooo good. Neil & Rob thank you & a very happy Easter to you both.
Happy Easter to you too!
Not only in Cornwall are pasties, in Spain they are made in Mostoles, a town by Madrid.
We call it, jalangkote or panada with different vegetables, South Sulawesi, Indonesia
My favourite British food
Thanks a bunch!!!
All the BBC learning English classes, food names is the most difficult part.
Great job 👍
vocabulary:
reminiscent (adj): it reminds you ò something similar
In Indonesia we called "pastel" with the pottatos and carrots fills.
It's called somsa in Uzbekistan.
I'm from Pakistan here we call it same pasty and kachoori in which we fill whatever we like
Hi, Neil. Hi, Rob! Hope you two are doing well
This is called empanada in Argentina!
Your Empanada took after the Spanish one, no real connection with this Cornish pasty.
Interesting 😍😍😍
In Russia, we make "piroshki" with different fillings, but I don't think the idea has come from England)
We say "Empanada" in Panama and it can contain cheese, meat, chicken.
Great
Hello I know what is it this is snak pirikya I am form India it's available at my house and my place
PastyIt's a nice food.

Can we give exam in your channel
We say patty in Sri Lanka
In Sri Lanka we called "patty"
filling is either one of salmon,fish,pork,chicken with potato,onion,manioc mixture
Argentina's Empanada took after the Spanish one- empanadilla- no real connection with this Cornish pasty.
Prayers from Pakistan 🧡🙏
Amen 🙏
Amen 🙏
I like your explanation, however I am vegetarian, so this Cornish it is not my cup of tea. Enjoy your pasty meal!
Eso es una empada
