You mentioned in your video that Ogie Ogie Ogie is an Austrailian saying/word. Well, most of the original Aussies are from the UK and Ireland, sent over as criminals. But, in the 1850s there was a Austrailian gold rush and a lot of Cornish miners went over there to make their fortune.
The original pasties had three compartments, breakfast, dinner and pudding. Or rather fish and porridge, lamb,potatoes and onion and then spiced apples and honey. When bakers started making them, they cut it to two so they didn't need as many ingredients or as big a pasty. They also shifted from lamb to beef and from apples to brambles and berries. The last 'ear' of the pasty was thrown down the mine tunnel for the ghosts.
Just in case you ever come to Cornwall and don't want to say it wrong, pasty is pronounced with a short vowel sound "a" not the the long sound "A". The Oggy man was a seller of Cornish Pasties. Oggy is sometimes added at the end of the Cornish national anthem (Song of the Western Men) as a rousing cheer "Oggy, oggy, oggy, oi,oi,oi". You probably have heard it used in Australian too as 1000's of Cornishmen called Cousin Jacks took their hard rock mining skills to Australia (and North America, South America, and Africa), to mine gold, and other precious metals
Pa-stee, Pa as in pat the dog, that sort of pa, not par or pay, just pa! My aunt used to make the best pasties, oh my. My parents would put me on the train in Wiltshire and, at the age of eight, I'd travel on my own (well, under the watchful eye of the guard) right down to the north coast of Cornwall where I'd be met by my aunt who usually had a pasty all ready for me - meat one end, blackberry and apple at the other. I'd have scoffed the lot before we were out of the station. As for "Oggy, oggy, oggy" - there are lots of expressions that the Aussies claim as theirs but which actually they stole from somewhere in the UK. Transported criminals, the lot of them. ;) (Just kidding!)
You can pretty much trace where Cornish miners lived and worked across the world, by the availability of a Cornish Pasty, even in the USA, Michigan I believe is one of a few States that saw Cornish miners employed for their expertise, and they took the pasty with them.
So I'm Cornish (grew up on the Lizard). I moved to Australia for 10 years when when I was in my mid-20's and was blown away by the number of towns in South Australia that had Cornish names. They even have a festival called the 'Kernewek Lowender' festival every two years which means 'Cornish Happiness' in the Cornish language. They sell Cornish pasties in a lot of cafes too. The Cornish miners clearly left more than the old mine buildings behind.
@@CornishColin My great great great grandfather skippered a Cornish fishing lugger to Australia nearly 200 years ago to seek fame and fortune. The plan was hatched in a Newlyn pub one night which is where they departed from. My father was also a Cornish miner at Geevor mine.
According to my Cornish-born mother; the authentic pasty comes with a "twist" at each end, to be used as eating-handles when you're having your lunch at the bottom of the tin-mine. You don't want the dust on your hands to get on the main crust. Also your initial should be on it, in pastry, so that a workmate doesn't eat it by mistake. I understand that the devil is afraid to enter Cornwall, for fear that one of the Cornish housewives will put him in a pasty.
Connor, I lived in Plymouth, Devon for 40 years. Most of my working years in gas & water utilities took me all over Cornwall & Devon, a pasty was mostly my lunch staple. When I took my dog with me in the (semi) truck he had one too.
I luckily have two aunts who are cooks in a primary school, they make them every couple of weeks and any extras they bring home and give to me, they know I love the school ones.
Well you've done it again! I'm craving a Cornish pastie now...! I'm off to get one (or 3) as soon as I've posted this!!! Great reaction, thanks Connor. PS you don't get the best flavour of them if they're piping hot, or if they're Luke warm... so somewhere in the middle works best....
St Agnes Bakery pasties are pretty good for "bought'n". My job takes me past their shop quite often. Their big sausage rolls are quite superior too. Particularly the lamb and mint.
The thick crust was not eaten by the tin mine workers. Tin is poisonous, so they would eat the savoury part then the ‘pudding part’ and throw away the dirty crust.
@@SvenTviking it actually is! There is a thing called 'tin toxicity' which some are genetically prone to. There are a number of ways that people working with tin ore have suffered dreadfully. At one time half the world's tin came from Cornwall along with huge amounts of copper and arsenic.
My father was a tin miner up till the 1990s at the last cornish tin mine south Crofty and my father would eat the whole of mothers pasties crimp and all. Obvs it wasn't a staple in the same way as they could take flasks of soup, sandwiches etc for crib.

8:41 "Oggy oggy oggy!" is the catchphrase of Welsh comedian, folk singer and rugby fanatic Max Boyce, who's career started in the 1970s. He'd open his act by shouting "Oggy oggy oggy!" to the audience, who'd shout "Oi, oi, oi" in return. This rapidly caught on with Welsh rugby crowds (who use the chant to this day) and spread to other rugby-playing countries like Australia. In fact, Boyce gained quite a following in Oz, giving sell-out concerts at Sydney Opera House. This probably helped to reinforce the popularity of the "Oggy oggy oggy!" chant in that country.
Though it is originally from Pasty makers in Cornwall and Devon tin mines. Oggy is a slang word for "Hoggan" which means Pasty. The Pasty makers would shout oggy oggy oggy and if the miners and labourers wanted one they'd reply "oi oi oi". It obviously spread to other mining areas, such as South Wales, where Max Boyce would have picked it up.
@@joescarecrow Indeed, but its adoption as a sporting chant began with Max Boyce. To his credit, he'd go out of his way to explain the Cornish origin of the chant at his concerts.
I think that there's an Australian chant of 'Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!', so the two may have become intertwined. I believe that Joe has it right, that 'oggy' or 'oggie' was originally Cornish dialect for 'pasty', but it spread throughout Devon and into adjoining parts of Somerset and Dorset (and more latterly South Wales), so that South-West England is referred to by some as 'Oggyland'. I don't know if they still sing it, as I haven't seen them in many years, but a favourite song among supporters of Plymouth Argyle Football Club (Plymouth is in Devon, but right on the Cornish border) referred to 'Oggyland' and had the chorus… Oh how happy we will be, When we're back in the West Country, Where the oggies grow on trees… Cor! Bugger! Janner!
@@ftumschk Yeah he made it very mainstream, but they were cheering it in football terraces in the 60's pre Max boyce. The Aussies got it from British sports fans (mainly rugby) and obviously saw an opportunity to personalise and adopt it as their own afterwards.

The original recipe was meat and veg one end and a sweet filling at the other. The pastry was pretty much just there to carry the contents and was thrown away.
My late mother was from Plymouth ( Devon is right next to Cornwall on the map, Connor ) and she used to make Cornish pasties from scratch even though we lived in the Manchester area for most of our lives. She even used to make special ones especially for me because I didn't like onion as a child. She also made them different sizes so as to accommodate all of our different ages, so there were the smallest ones for the youngest of her brood right up to massive ones for the adults. When it came to the meat content of each of them my elder brother was a master butcher and he used to bring home lots of meat free of charge so whenever she made them she only had to buy the other ingredients to make them. That being said he also used to bring home other cuts of meat including the most vile things imaginable, e.g. tripe, sheep and cows' hearts and brains etc. However he did bring home some fantastic cuts of meat including sausages, liver, kidneys, pork and lamb chops etc. 👍😁👍🇬🇧
My aunt use to make pasties on a Wednesday for all the family, the men use to get them on the way home from the Dock yard. She would mark them for each person and as you said smaller for the children etc. I wold help drip she do most I would do about two. She was my dad’s sister they were from Plymouth too.🥟🥟

In Latin, right is dextera, which is used as complimentary term in English, like dexterous, meaning quick and able hands. Left, on the other hand(I know;)), is sinister, which is synonymous with underhanded in English.
My aunt Hera in Falmouth used to make them. They were delicious. Tin mines have a deleterious element which is also poisonous, Bismuth. This is why paties had bratded handles. The pastie was divided into two parts with a pastry divider. The larger part was meat and potatoes the smaller contained jam for desert. Modern pasties only have the meat and potatoes, though the three pastie restaurants here in Pgoenix AZ come with various other ingredients.
There's a blast from the past. I used to live about 50 yards from that bakery, remember going to get bread and pasties from there as a child, they used to make an excellent egg custard tart back in the 70s
Cornwall is a wonderful county to visit in fact many of us do every year - sorry people of Conrwall. Always come back with a few pounds put on the pasty for lunch, a cream tea and then Cornish seafood for dinner - totally yummy! BTW did you know Cornwall has its own language although not widely spoken I believe its having a come back.
Cornish pasties. Warm with a little bit of Branston pickle if not eaten on the hoof. (The pasty shop in Winchester had some nice pasties. Quick waltz around the cathedral followed by a pasty - nice.) Oggy, oggy, oggy - rugby clubs’ traditional greeting - and all the time for anything else.
I can't believe this lol. I follow your reactions and I'm actually sat in my Cornish holiday home watching this. I'm proud of my homemade pasties. lol. Filling - beef skirt, turnip, potato, onion, salt, white pepper. Nothing more and nothing less. Ann Muller's recipe, possibly the best pasties in Cornwall. Other than mine of course. Make your dough with half fat half flour using lard and margarine One a disc of pastry put a layer of turnips and onions Season lightly with salt and pepper Add a layer of skirt of beef Season lightly Add a layer of diced or sliced potatoes fold the sides of the disc of pastry over into a bag and pinch the two sides together Fold the crimp towards you into a rope design Baste the pasty with an egg wash to give it a golden colour and shine when cooked Bake your pasty on a medium heat for 1 hour - (170C)

Having been a Brit that lived in USA Ma for 20 years. I know that you will be wondering what Mince is.

I so missed Pies and pasties when I lived over there as the only pie you could ever get, was apple pie. there are only a very few places that sell such wares and in Boston area. There was an Irish Bakery. God I loved that place. Keep rolling
You are the same as me for liking my food to be hot, my girlfriend thinks i'm weird lol she like to let stuff cool down, but i love burning my mouth on a freshly cooked potato for example... Maybe she has a point about weird lol.
Indeed, walking through the delightful beach resort of St. Ives in Cornwall one morning in the Summer years back, it seemed that every other shop sold pasties, and they were all taking them out of the ovens at the same time - the whole of the town centre had the delicious aroma of fresh hot pasties. Mind you, I've also heard them called 'Cornish nasties' by people who are not fond of them!
I agree. I have to have my food nuclear hot. I do not like cool, cold or Luke warm meat or vegetables. You are right as well about the heat giving food another flavor. I never thought of that. Great video.

It also has turnip (swede/rutabaga) in it. Plus, it's a pa-sty not a pay--sty but is made of pay-stry. If you want to get even more confused go in a NI fish and chip and ask for a pasty.
You get arsenic in tin mines so you don't eat the crust.Have a look a song Cousin Jack - RUclips. A great show of hands song.It will give you some information on the cornish tin mines.
@@chrisnorman1902 Many people believe that the classic D shape and side-crimp of the Cornish pasty was so that the crust could be used as a handle by the miners. This makes sense, as mining was filthy work and there was a risk that miners hands could contaminate their meal with traces of arsenic (a by-product of processing tin and copper ore) or the explosives that they used. Others say that miners carried their pasties in muslin or paper bags so that they could eat from that and enjoy the entire pasty. Some say that miners’ wives carved their husbands’ initials into the end of the crust so that they could identify their food and also leave the very end for the “Knockers” - the mischievous underground pixies of Cornish folklore who needed bribing with food to stay on good behavior.Cheers.

Funny you should say that jon there's a bakery in a village near me here in South Wales that does a fantastic stillon cornish pasty my treat every Friday morning for the last 10 years lol
Pasty and pastie are very different things. Pasty (pronounced past-ee) is this lovely Cornish treat. A pastie (pronounced paste-ee, as you do here) is a sticker a stripper wears on their nipples. Cue my childish giggles as you comment on the lovely paste-ees from Cornwall. It gets complicated when pasty is pluralised to pasties, and pastie into pasties. Pasties usually come in sets of two, while you can have as many pasties as you can eat.
Yup. In the US pasties pronounced paste-ease are patches used to cover the nipples of, for example, burlesque artists. So when Americans read that we Brits have pasties for lunch, it creates quite a disturbing image.
Not one person working in the pasty factory speaks with a Cornish accent. They are all sound like Londoners. I was expecting Robert Newton, not Michael Cain. 😉 Good video though. Store bought pasties are more consistent. Home made ones have variations and could contain other cuts of meat and left overs: the further you get from Sunday dinner, the more swede and potato were found in the pie.
@@Steve-gc5nt Mmm, "correctly" seems a bit harsh, lol! I prefer to believe they're using spoken English "coloquelly".... I mean Worcestershire...??? break that down phonetically and you're almost booking a therapy session 😂
There are no better pasties in the world (i.e. Cornwall) than a 'Portreath Bakery' pasty. They run out by late morning so if you don't get there in time you have a choice. Either leg it down to Hayle for a 'Philps' - but that's 20 minutes away - or go for third best (and only five mins away from Portreath), which is the 'Cornish Oven' at the far end of Alexandra Road in Illogan. You're welcome. Side bar: "Oggy, Oggy, Oggy" is Devon, not Cornwall.
The machine we used for the pasties claimed at least two workers fingers. One was a Black bloke and we never found the Finger! PS it’s pronounced Pas ty not Pace ty
Just so you know, Cornish is a language, so ogy ogy ogy is not the English language. Those tin mines where deep, they didn't comeback out for lunch, they were filthy conditions hance using the crust as a handle and after consuming the body of the pasty the filthy crust was discarded.
Don't eat from the West Cornwall Pastry Co. Absolutely vile. Don't understand how they're a big company down south, if you go to South England please please please don't buy one.
I hate the trend for presenters to attempt the activity they are observing. A superfluous intrusion of ego, especially as the viewer is expected to watch in admiration of the cuteness of the whole thing. Sorry, just saying

@@russcattell955i Yes, thanks Russ I will. Over the years I've found great local bakers and butchers that make them. 👍
@mark batchelor - Kernow a'gas dynergh, my lover. Sorry about the bleddy roadworks between Carland Cross and Chiverton. They're a pain in the a$$. Have a safe journey down. Be careful 〓〓😃
@@kernow9324 Thanks for the update! Thankfully, I'm not down that far, so should be fine. I will 👍
In Latin, right is dextera, which is used as complimentary term in English, like dexterous, meaning quick and able hands. Left, on the other hand(I know;)), is sinister, which is synonymous with underhanded in English.
On a family crest the women would always be depicted on the "sinister" side of her husbands right....
@@margaretflounders8510 It is also notable that the French word for left, "gauche" is used in English to denote someone awkward or graceless.
My aunt Hera in Falmouth used to make them. They were delicious. Tin mines have a deleterious element which is also poisonous, Bismuth. This is why paties had bratded handles. The pastie was divided into two parts with a pastry divider. The larger part was meat and potatoes the smaller contained jam for desert. Modern pasties only have the meat and potatoes, though the three pastie restaurants here in Pgoenix AZ come with various other ingredients.
Yes, love these videos with Claudia in. You should check out the one in Holland where she sees how Gouda is made.
Seeing as Americans call it Gooda, his mind will be blown at hearing Howda.
There's a blast from the past. I used to live about 50 yards from that bakery, remember going to get bread and pasties from there as a child, they used to make an excellent egg custard tart back in the 70s
Ogie means pasty in Cornish
My favourite Cornish pasty flavour is Thai green curry you can get it now and it’s amazing it’s not necessarily traditional but it’s still nice
Cornwall is a wonderful county to visit in fact many of us do every year - sorry people of Conrwall. Always come back with a few pounds put on the pasty for lunch, a cream tea and then Cornish seafood for dinner - totally yummy! BTW did you know Cornwall has its own language although not widely spoken I believe its having a come back.
1% of the population speak it and that number rises yearly
Did not know there were left handed and right handed pasties. I need to be more careful in future. Also, I want a pasty now.
Cornish pasties. Warm with a little bit of Branston pickle if not eaten on the hoof. (The pasty shop in Winchester had some nice pasties. Quick waltz around the cathedral followed by a pasty - nice.)
Oggy, oggy, oggy - rugby clubs’ traditional greeting - and all the time for anything else.
I can't believe this lol. I follow your reactions and I'm actually sat in my Cornish holiday home watching this. I'm proud of my homemade pasties. lol. Filling - beef skirt, turnip, potato, onion, salt, white pepper. Nothing more and nothing less. Ann Muller's recipe, possibly the best pasties in Cornwall. Other than mine of course.
Make your dough with half fat half flour using lard and margarine
One a disc of pastry put a layer of turnips and onions
Season lightly with salt and pepper
Add a layer of skirt of beef
Season lightly
Add a layer of diced or sliced potatoes
fold the sides of the disc of pastry over into a bag and pinch the two sides together
Fold the crimp towards you into a rope design
Baste the pasty with an egg wash to give it a golden colour and shine when cooked
Bake your pasty on a medium heat for 1 hour - (170C)
What you should not be proud of, is your holiday home.
@@Stp1497 A static caravan in the Cornish countryside isn't depriving a local of somewhere to live.if that's what you are inferring to. And before you say it's not a proper home, it is a home to the many Cornish people who live on the site permanently.
@@brianrowe236 ah in that case you’re fine, I assumed when you said holiday home you were talking about a physical house.
Cornish pasties are really yummy !
Cornish pasties!! Food of the gods!
Tin was found in Argentina and they imported Cornish miners to extract it.Today Pasties are eaten by people in Argentina
"What is a pizza? I'll tell you! It's a pasty that some [_] hasn't shut yet!" - Al Murray.
Totally agree with the hot food. If it doesn't blister the mouth it's too cold 🤣
Having been a Brit that lived in USA Ma for 20 years. I know that you will be wondering what Mince is. Its Minced Meat (Minced Beef) or what it the US you call Ground Beef or as my wife (a Yank) would say. Ground Hamburger lol. I so missed Pies and pasties when I lived over there as the only pie you could ever get, was apple pie. there are only a very few places that sell such wares and in Boston area. There was an Irish Bakery. God I loved that place. Keep rolling
Authentic pasties have beef skirt no mince.
Other food to learn about, if you don't already know them: Yorkshire pudding, Lincolnshire sausages, and pork or gala pie.
Add game pie to that list
@@andrewgarner2224 Well, you could say any pie - steak, steak and kidney, Apple, mince - but pork pie is classic, like scotch eggs.
Love these things. Hard to find were I live.
You are the same as me for liking my food to be hot, my girlfriend thinks i'm weird lol she like to let stuff cool down, but i love burning my mouth on a freshly cooked potato for example... Maybe she has a point about weird lol.
You can get Cornish Pasties all over the UK but they`re not even close to the ones you get in Cornwall. They are awesome.
There's a distance joke somewhere.
Indeed, walking through the delightful beach resort of St. Ives in Cornwall one morning in the Summer years back, it seemed that every other shop sold pasties, and they were all taking them out of the ovens at the same time - the whole of the town centre had the delicious aroma of fresh hot pasties. Mind you, I've also heard them called 'Cornish nasties' by people who are not fond of them!
Try looking up how to make toud in the hole
It’s a sausage in a Yorkshire pudding mate
I agree.
I have to have my food nuclear hot. I do not like cool, cold or Luke warm meat or vegetables.
You are right as well about the heat giving food another flavor. I never thought of that.
Great video.
A great proportion of high IQ creative and high achieving people are left handed, much greater than the incidence of left handedness in the general population. Look it up online!
I would but I'm right handed and I find Google too complicated 😅
There used to be a slang name for Cornish folk- 'oggie wallopers', it might have been military slang.
It also has turnip (swede/rutabaga) in it.
Plus, it's a pa-sty not a pay--sty but is made of pay-stry.
If you want to get even more confused go in a NI fish and chip and ask for a pasty.
I was about to have a rant as I thought I saw mince meat. I'm glad I waited to watch properly.
Oggy oggy oggy! Oi oi oi! haha
Thanks for "visiting" Cornwall:)
P.s they are "past- ies" not "paste - ies":)
So happy you went to my county though!
I am a Cornishman from Penzance Cornwall and my nan made the best pasties!
They really are appetising
You get arsenic in tin mines so you don't eat the crust.Have a look a song Cousin Jack - RUclips. A great show of hands song.It will give you some information on the cornish tin mines.
You can eat the crust - they'd hold the pasty with cloth around it to stop dirty coming from their hands
@@chrisnorman1902 Many people believe that the classic D shape and side-crimp of the Cornish pasty was so that the crust could be used as a handle by the miners. This makes sense, as mining was filthy work and there was a risk that miners hands could contaminate their meal with traces of arsenic (a by-product of processing tin and copper ore) or the explosives that they used. Others say that miners carried their pasties in muslin or paper bags so that they could eat from that and enjoy the entire pasty. Some say that miners’ wives carved their husbands’ initials into the end of the crust so that they could identify their food and also leave the very end for the “Knockers” - the mischievous underground pixies of Cornish folklore who needed bribing with food to stay on good behavior.Cheers.
Swede or Swedish turnip is known as Rutabaga in the US
"...like 'meat pies'!" You must never go the Cornwall, never!!! 😮😊
I'm right-handed and my dad's left-handed too! Though I hold cutlery 'left-handed', while my dad does the opposite, as well as other things. And it turns out I would crimp left-handed.
Back in my School days I used to write on the left hand side of the book with left hand right side with right hand - long story short get hit with cane as apparently I should write with my right hand only - to this day I write right handed but do lots of other things left handed as it just feels more natural for me (including painting so ho hum) English schools back in the 70's hated anyone not right handed and anyone who dared to speak any language other than English (being welsh I used to but no longer speak Welsh as well caned a lot )
@@cmdrcoyote7598 That's cool that you could just switch hands like that, shame you were forced to stop. I sometimes play some snooker shots left-handed.
Traditionally they had meat, turnip, potato, onion in one end and fruit in the other for dessert.
Bedfordshire Clanger?
Paste-eee's? The word sounds like Past-ttt's, Connor. Potatoe's, Onions, Swede & Meat, with a little seasoning, never tasted so good. :o)
Those are pretty big! Makes me hungry ;-)
I love a Cornish pasty. Traditional is great, but with added Stilton cheese, even better.
Funny you should say that jon there's a bakery in a village near me here in South Wales that does a fantastic stillon cornish pasty my treat every Friday morning for the last 10 years lol
Add chips, peas and gravy and you have a perfect lunch. 👍
Cornwall one of my favourite places in the u.k.
You should try some guy Martin films, he always has a go, definitely not afraid to get his hands dirty.
There are few perfect people in this world,
The rest are right handed!
😉😉😂
My mum was left handed and was forced to use her right hand at school. I am also left handed, my dad was right handed
Pasty and pastie are very different things. Pasty (pronounced past-ee) is this lovely Cornish treat. A pastie (pronounced paste-ee, as you do here) is a sticker a stripper wears on their nipples. Cue my childish giggles as you comment on the lovely paste-ees from Cornwall.
It gets complicated when pasty is pluralised to pasties, and pastie into pasties. Pasties usually come in sets of two, while you can have as many pasties as you can eat.
Oggy oggy oggy is Cornish and the Cornish miners went to Australia and turned the chant to aussie aussie aussie
It's past-y, like pasta. Not paste-y, like paste ;P
Yup. In the US pasties pronounced paste-ease are patches used to cover the nipples of, for example, burlesque artists. So when Americans read that we Brits have pasties for lunch, it creates quite a disturbing image.
Various states in Aussie have different pronunciations for it.
Not one person working in the pasty factory speaks with a Cornish accent. They are all sound like Londoners. I was expecting Robert Newton, not Michael Cain. 😉
Good video though. Store bought pasties are more consistent. Home made ones have variations and could contain other cuts of meat and left overs: the further you get from Sunday dinner, the more swede and potato were found in the pie.
lots of black pepper, so it has a kick. they didn't mention the black pepper! heehee!
God, I watched this and want one now. A cheese one with HP sauce and salt and pepper. Damn they're good.
PPS; just checked out some previous comments: don't we Brits just love correcting Americans on pronunciations, it's almost a sport!!!😃😃😃
Well if they want to use our language then at least use it correctly 🤭
@@Steve-gc5nt Mmm, "correctly" seems a bit harsh, lol! I prefer to believe they're using spoken English "coloquelly".... I mean Worcestershire...??? break that down phonetically and you're almost booking a therapy session 😂
There are no better pasties in the world (i.e. Cornwall) than a 'Portreath Bakery' pasty. They run out by late morning so if you don't get there in time you have a choice. Either leg it down to Hayle for a 'Philps' - but that's 20 minutes away - or go for third best (and only five mins away from Portreath), which is the 'Cornish Oven' at the far end of Alexandra Road in Illogan. You're welcome.
Side bar: "Oggy, Oggy, Oggy" is Devon, not Cornwall.
Sorry prefer a Malcolm Barnecutts pasty, Philps are too dry, and massive more of a guy buster
@@laura-jaynerelaxandmeditat7105Barnecutts are really good, but flaky pastry isn't as nice as a proper shortcrust
Why do they shout 'Oggie Oggie Oggie' on the Waltzers?
my standard daily intake of needed nutrition. dirty hands required
The machine we used for the pasties claimed at least two workers fingers. One was a Black bloke and we never found the Finger! PS it’s pronounced Pas ty not Pace ty
I like to eat food straight away when hot too
True, but a cold pasty is still a thing of delight :)
@@ftumschk Yes it is.
I like the old idea, of having sweet filling at one end, and savoury at the other
I also like to eat HOT food..... and eat it as soon as l cook it, & soup and most foods taste good the next day. Always eat leftovers.
Danger danger will Robinson Trevithick
👍
You're pasty.. this is a Pasty... hehe
The tastier Lancashire pasty has carrots, none of this Southern muck.
I've always known a pasty as an oggy, don't know if it's because of my roots???
Also as a tiddy oggy in Australia.
It is Parsty - not Pasty.
Also the recipe is not meat and potatoes. It is is beef skirt, potatoes, swede and onions.
I’m sorry but I’m my fourteen years of living here I have never heard anyone call it a “Parsty”
love you yet wow
Butter should never be added to filling, the juice should come from the beef.
Just so you know, Cornish is a language, so ogy ogy ogy is not the English language. Those tin mines where deep, they didn't comeback out for lunch, they were filthy conditions hance using the crust as a handle and after consuming the body of the pasty the filthy crust was discarded.
They'd wrap the pasty in cloth as a barrier for their hands, they wouldn't let their food get dirty
I think Connor still has the hots for Claudia, pasties or not 😍 😎
They are correct on the video it is pronounced as 'pass tee'
Pronounced: pah = pasty
Their name is pasties - like past tense- not paste as in toothpaste.
They are pronounced PAST-EE's..!
Good grief man it's not paystee, it's passtee.
Is it sharp? Let me run my finger around the edge to find out lol.
ahh bud
Don't eat from the West Cornwall Pastry Co. Absolutely vile. Don't understand how they're a big company down south, if you go to South England please please please don't buy one.
Oi oi oi
You should let meat rest, because it will be much more tender and juicy! 🤷🏻♂️✌🏼
I hate the trend for presenters to attempt the activity they are observing. A superfluous intrusion of ego, especially as the viewer is expected to watch in admiration of the cuteness of the whole thing. Sorry, just saying
