Hoggan
A hoggan or hogen is a type of flatbread containing pieces of pork, and often root vegetables, apple also becoming a popular addition, historically eaten by Cornish miners and labours in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Any food eaten by miners had to be tough to withstand the harsh conditions of the mines, and hoggans were said by one mining captain to be 'hard as street tiles'. A true hoggan is slightly different from a pasty. The dough which was left over from pasty making is made into a lump of unleavened dough, in which is embedded a morsel of "green" (uncooked) pork and sometimes a piece of potato. Historically, hoggans were often made from cheaper barley bread and have been a good indicator of poverty, reappearing when wheat prices are high. The pasty became particularly popular in Devonport and Plymouth, where sailors called them “tiddly oggies” (also referred to as Tiddy Oggies or a Tiddy Oggy). Tiddly in naval slang means ‘proper’, a common adjective and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pasty
A pasty () or Cornish pasty is a British baked turnover pastry, a variety of which is particularly associated with Cornwall, but has spread all over the British Isles, and elsewhere through the Cornish diaspora.

Barley
Barley (), a member of the grass family, is a major cereal grain grown in temperate climates globally. It was one of the first cultivated grains; it was domesticated in the Fertile Crescent around 9000 BC, giving it nonshattering spikelets and making it much easier to harvest. Its use then spread throughout Eurasia by 2000 BC. Barley prefers relatively low temperatures and well-drained soil to grow. It is relatively tolerant of drought and soil salinity, but is less winter-hardy than wheat or rye. In 2023, barley was fourth among grains in quantity produced, 146 million tonnes, behind maize, rice, and wheat. Globally, 70% of barley production is used as animal feed, while 30% is used as a source of fermentable material for beer, or further distilled into whisky, and as a component of various foods. It is used in soups and stews and in barley bread of various cultures. Barley grains are commonly made into malt using a traditional and ancient method of preparatio ...

Oggy Oggy Oggy
The Oggy Oggy Oggy chant (alternatively spelt Oggie Oggie Oggie or Ogi Ogi Ogi), and its variations, are often heard at sporting events, political rallies and around numerous Scout and Guide campfires, primarily in Britain and some Commonwealth nations. One group will shout Oggy three times, while another will respond with Oi! three times. The phrase may be of Cornish origin, possibly deriving from the Cornish language (a pasty is known in Devon and Cornwall as an Oggie, possibly deriving from "hoggan" - a Cornish word). The chant appeared in British sports grounds in the 1960s and 1970s, namely rugby union and football. Plymouth Argyle supporters have long used this as a chant. Welsh singer and comedian Max Boyce later popularised its use in Rugby Union, while in association football a popular variation was the “Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy” chant by Chelsea fans in homage to their star striker Peter Osgood. When Margaret Thatcher became British Prime Minister in 1979 a variation ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cornish Cuisine
Cornish cuisine encompasses the cooking styles, traditions and recipes associated with the English county of Cornwall and the Cornish people. It has been heavily influenced by the geography of the county as well as its social history. Cornwall being a peninsula surrounded by historically well-stocked seas, with a significant fishing industry, has meant that fish dishes form a major part of the historical and modern recipes in Cornwall. The iconic dish of Cornwall, the pasty, has its roots in another historical industry within the county, this being mining. Certain Cornish food dishes have been granted protected geographical status under European Union law, ensuring that they can only be labelled and marketed as "Cornish" if they are produced and mainly sourced within Cornwall. The Cornwall Food and Drink Festival promotes Cornish cuisine and produce. A major theme is the use of game foods as well as fish. A number of high-profile Cornish restaurants and hotels use game as part ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
