Ancient people gathered as much food as possible so it would last them
throughout the long winter months. Hearty food was often served in
Celtic countries in the winter. This included oatmeal with butter and
milk, soft cheeses, root vegetables, nuts and berries, bread, and
dried or salted fish and meat. In later times, pasties or pastry pies
were served. These consisted of baked dough toasted around a meat,
fish, or vegetable filling. These were so popular that it was said the
devil would not come to Cornwall for fear of being put into a pie!
Here is a recipe for traditional pies to share at your winter rites
and ceremonies. Combine one pound of flour with a half pound of
butter, three eggs, and hot water. Roll out the dough on a board three
times. Then cut it into six-inch circles, place the filling in the
center of the circles, and fold them over to make a half moon shapes.
Cook at 350 degrees until they are golden.
