Cornish Drive Through

[Gob]

Macca's must be shitting themselves...

A drive-through pasty restaurant in Cornwall will be a "world first", the baker behind it has claimed.



Marion Symonds will offer pasties and cream teas to customers on the move from the site at Pool, Cornwall, from the end of June. "People don't want to get out of their cars," said the baker, who has promoted Cornish pasties around the world. The drive-through will be part of a bakery, coffee-shop and restaurant that will bring 40 new jobs to the area.



Mrs Symonds said: "So many towns now have been shut off and the bakers are in there. You have to go into a car park and walk to the baker's to buy a pasty. "We thought if you stayed in your car and drove through the queues might come here instead of other drive-through restaurants." Mrs Symonds, 50, started working in bakeries when she was 14 and was awarded the pasty ambassador award at the 2015 World Pasty Championships for her work promoting the pasty in Europe and Mexico.



Mrs Symonds opened her first bakery in Portreath and owns a second bakery in Lanner.

The Pasty Oven Pasty Shop is located in Quinnesec, MI, 4 miles east of Iron Mountain in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

We have a drive-thru window so you can pick up your pasties for eating at home, at the picnic table by our door, or to take on a picnic to Fumee Falls, Lake Antoine, or one of the other nice picnic spots in the area.

Cheers!

In Chicago, there's a restaurant that drives the pasties to you. I've seen their little food truck on the street downtown at lunchtime, but I've never tried one of their pasties.


In these photos (from their website) they look pretty good.

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is the northern of the two major land masses that make up the U.S. state of Michigan. It is commonly referred to as the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) or Upper Michigan. It is also known colloquially as the land "above the Bridge" linking the two peninsulas. The peninsula is bounded on the north by Lake Superior, on the east by the St. Marys River, on the southeast by Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, and on the southwest by Wisconsin.

The Upper Peninsula contains 29% of the land area of Michigan but just 3% of its total population. Residents are frequently called Yoopers (derived from "U.P.-ers") and have a strong regional identity. Large numbers of French Canadian, Finnish, Swedish, Cornish, and Italian immigrants came to the Upper Peninsula, especially the Keweenaw Peninsula, to work in the area's mines and lumber industry. The peninsula includes the only counties in the United States where a plurality of residents claim Finnish ancestry.[1]

I doubt there are more folks of Cornish descent anywhere else in the U.S. - except maybe Appalachia?

Interesting facts here...

This will cheer some up;

In California, statues and monuments in many towns pay tribute to the influence of the Cornish on their development.

In the city of Grass Valley, the tradition of singing Cornish carols lives on and one local historian of the area says the songs have become "the identity of the town". Some of the members of today's Cornish Carol Choir are in fact descendants of the original Cornish gold miners. The city holds St Piran's Day celebrations every year, which along with carol singing, includes a flag raising ceremony, games involving the Cornish pasty, and Cornish wrestling competitions.

The city is twinned with Bodmin in Cornwall.

I knew that Butte was heavily Irish and of course it makes sense it would be heavily Cornish too - a mining town to the core until not that long ago; there's still mining now but it's not close to economic powerhouse it used to eat there.

Yup, that's a Yooper. They're kinda ex-Finnished, hey.
