The 5 March is St. Piran's Day - and, as St. Piran is the patron saint of Cornwall, it's a good day to celebrate the Cornish pasty - they've been made for hundreds of years, particularly as food for Cornish tin miners. Although practically every bakery sells them, homemade ones always taste better... and you can make your own with this recipe from the Cornish Pasty Association.
