Truro Pasties

A big weekly market used to be held in Truro, the county town of Cornwall. The market sold livestock, cereals, butter, cheese and cream, leather and cloth, china, glass, pots and pans and whatever fruit, vegetables, fish, cakes or other foods that the local inhabitants might bring in. There was always a stall that sold fish pasties, kept hot in a tin oven over a little fire, for everyone’s dinner
