Speaking of pasties, I also heard that, traditionally, they would have jam, or some kind of sweet, on one side to complete the meal...
Poem 55 of 230: TIN-MINERS' LUNCH
Visiting relatives in Cornwall,
I saw the mines that miners mined,
The type of lunch they liked to eat,
And heard this tale about it all:
The real Cornish pasty's thick crust
Keeps the cooked food inside it warm,
And, when it is properly done,
A fall down the mine won't make it bust.
