The History of the Pasty
INTRODUCTION:
The wives of Tin Miners are often credited for the invention of the pasty, however the actual history of the pasty dates back to the 13th century. The Tin Miners wives, however, were responsible for the ritual of adding their husbands initials to the pasty crust so they could be identified.
EVERYBODY’S DIFFERENT:
As the pasty became more popular the fillings were interchangeable, adapted to the personal taste of the person that would eat it. In fact, there were even pasties that contained meat and vegetables in one side and fruit in the other so as to form a complete two-course meal.
