The Cornish Pasty is crimped around its edge and has an extra large crimped knoggin on one end. This was so that the tin miners, who were often in areas laced with poisons in the rocks, could hold the pasty and eat it down to the crusty noggin which was then discarded.

No, not another Brexit thread.

As for how the word SCONE is pronounced? That’s a whole other argument.

Don't even get me started on rice pudding...
