The Cornish Pasty

"The Cornish Pasty" by Stephen Hall will hold the interest of any pasty lover. And there are many of us in the USA--mostly people with ancestors from Cornwall, England or roots in the areas of the USA to which Cornish miners emigrated. The author takes you way back to the ancient history of pasty predecessors and brings you right up to current times when pasties are consumed by the thousands every day, especially in England where they are even mass produced by such companies as Ginsters. If the publisher, Agre Books, ever takes this copyright 2001, out-of-print book to a 2nd printing, Stephen Hall could add a chapter about pasties in the USA. He could write about the areas where you find pasty shops and how you can buy them over the internet from places in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
