Instructions ›
* Drag the correct answer into all target fields
Miners    used    the    crimped    edge    to    hold    the    pasty    whilst    eating    and    thus    avoid    being    poisoned    by    the    tin    and    copper    dust    on    their    fingertips.    They    then    left    the    discarded    crimping    for    the      ’Knockers'    (ghosts)    which    were    said    to    exist    down    the    mines.    Knockers    were    believed    by    the    miners    to    cause    all    manner    of      unless    they    were    placated    with    titbits    of    food.    Today,    the    Cornish    pasty's    great    international    appeal    is    often    attributed    to    the    collapse    of    Cornwall’s    tin    mining    industry    and    the    subsequent      of    its    miners    all    over    the    world.    Whatever    the    reason,        of    the    pasty    can    now    be    found    in    many    countries.    However,    any    Cornish    man    or    woman    will    tell    you    that    a    true    Cornish    pasty    can    only    be    made    and    baked    in    Cornwall    and    that    anything    else    is    but    a    pale      of    the    original.
