My Dad ran a railroad track crew back in the 1940's. Those men got very dirty hands from the heavy grease, creosote, heavy manual labor, etc.
He said when they took a break for lunch, there was no hand washing and you had to eat your sandwich with very dirty hands. When their sandwich was especially good they would say " it eats right where you hold it". ie, so good you even eat the dirty part. I can relate.

Being Cornish by birth the Cornish pasty is a staple of mine whenever I get the chance to eat one. Legend has it that they were created with a crimped edge for the tin miners to be able to eat them with dirty hands and then the crust would be discarded. No way will I ever discard a crust.

Cornish Pasty Myths & Legends

There is an area of debate in regards the reason for the crimped edge. Some insist that these were created to protect miners from being poisoned.

^^^^^ made me smile

If they discarded the crust they must have been paid too much wages

Lol ….. and tongue in cheek of course !

Gotta say with home baking the pastry has to be the best part

🤠👌
 
If anyone in the UK is interested , Warren’s who are the oldest Cornish pasty maker in the world, offer a home delivery, so you may cook a genuine one at home - is it was formed in Cornwall then it is still a genuine pasty despite where it is cooked. I’m fortunate in having several of their shops reasonably local to me and on occasion have purchased uncooked frozen ones to put in the freezer for later.

Here's a little known fact for automotive buffs, or just to dazzle your friends. The four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Maxwell, invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17, 1946 , the temperature in Detroit was 97 degrees.

The four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's office and sweet-talked his secretary into telling him that four gentlemen were there with the most exciting innovation in the auto industry since the electric starter

Henry was curious and invited them into his office. They refused and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car. They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130 degrees inside, turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off immediately.

The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he offered them $3 million for the patent.

The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but they wanted the recognition by having a label, 'The Goldberg Air-Conditioner,' on the dashboard of each car in which it was installed.

Now old man Ford was more than just a little anti-Jewish, and there was no way he was going to put the Goldberg's name on two million Fords.

They haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed on $4 million and that just their first names would be shown...

And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show -- Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max -- on the controls.
