All. I am a long time lurker, seldom times contributor to this list, and have come up with two questions I'd like to ask. First, my wife read a little of a book about Deer Lodge, Montana, having used Cornish men as tin miners in the early days. Does anyone know if these men came directly from Cornwall, or if they relocated from say, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin or the UP of Michigan? Is anyone on the list descended from one of those? And second, this question seemed to create a lot of controversy a year or so ago, but I'm asking it very seriously. Does anyone have a recipe, from market to table, for a genuine Cornish pasty? We had some several years ago, near Land's End and in Penzance and my wife would like to try and duplicate them here in the USA. Thanks very much, Bob Reifsneider Orange Park, Florida
