And the reason why there is a crimped crust is because the mine workings were so poisonous due to the high levels of arsenic, so the miners held their pasties by this crimped ridge, which traditionally runs down the side of the pasty and not along the top. This part was discarded. Nowadays a pasty just has meat 'n tatties, but years ago they were filled with jam at one end and so the miner ate from the savoury end to the sweet end.)<BR/><BR/>Nanny would have a fit if she were 150 years older regarding our old mines!!spivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404364711838124485noreply@blogger.com
