• 3. NOTE: I was told when the miners went down into the mines, they would put the pastie on there head, under the cap....to keep the pastie warm! Miners wives would crimp the pastie with a ridge on the top, so when they ate with dirty hands..they would hold the pastie by the crimp which helped to keep the pastie cleaner. Then they would throw away the crimp !
