his meal then throw the crust to the rat that were in the mine.

Back in Michigan, where I lived before moving down to Florida, there

were a number of pastie shops. Most of the foldover pies were meat, but

some stores had vegetarian ones.

Mmmm, memories. The last time I was in Cornwall, I just had to get a

pastie and it was so good, and yep, I had it with the " attached "

dessert. I also endulged in the sweet pastries with fresh, real cream.

I have an aunt in Cornwall and love going to visit her.
