What's this about Cornwall? There's no coal down there. Lagopus.....
OK- Cornwall, Cornhole, Cornwallis, Cornforth, Corn Whiskey, Corn on the Cob-- your choice. In MI- the miners in the UP were eating a Cornish dish called a pasty- a meat pie in a heavy wrapped dough crust- which they warmed up at mealtime on the blade of their shovels over something- or so the legend goes.
