EDITORS COMMENTS
, a question that once sparked lively debates amongst the residents of Cornwall, England, circa 1905. This intriguing photograph captures the essence of a traditional Cornish pasty spread out on a beautiful willow pattern dish, showcasing three different varieties of this iconic British dish. The Cornish pasty, a savory pie with a crimped edge, has been a staple food in Cornwall for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to the 13th century when Cornish miners would take these pies to work, filling them with a hearty mixture of potatoes, onions, and meat to sustain them throughout their long shifts. The three pasties in this photograph represent the classic fillings of the region: Turmut (potato), Lickey (steak), and Tatie (sweet potato). Each pasty, nestled in its own compartment on the platter, is a testament to the rich and diverse flavors that the Cornish pasty offers. The pastry, golden brown and flaky, encases the savory fillings, promising a delicious and satisfying meal. The Cornish dialect, with its unique inflections and pronunciations, adds to the charm of this image. The phrase "Which will ee ave?" translates to "Which one will you have?" in standard English, inviting us to imagine the excitement and anticipation of choosing our favorite pasty. This photograph is a delightful glimpse into the past, showcasing the traditional Cornish pasty and its beloved varieties, as well as the unique dialect and cultural heritage of the region. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures and rich history that can be found in the food we eat and the stories we share.
