...ever eat a Cornish Pastey..or Tiddy Oggie as sometimes called..anyone?
Yes! Tiddie Oggies, crescent shaped pastry cases; meal ready to eat. They evolved from the Cornish tinminers' lunches, lowered down the shaft in a bucket. Although the original version had a savoury half (mince meat, veg, gravy) and a sweet half (stewed apple, whatever), they now seem to be entirely savoury. I had my last one way back, stormbound in Mousehole, during a boat delivery trip. Brings back memories of the best bath I ever had, in the Mission to Seamen, after a few days of being pounded trying to get past the Lizard!
