Whats in a name?
As you travel around the Country or even the World you hear many different terms for the Cornish Pasty. Oggy, for example, is a slang term used in Britain that is derived from the Cornish term for Pasty…Hoggan, this is a West Country term and is also written as Oggie. In the North East of the UK the term Smoggy is used as another derivative of the West Country slang term Oggy!
The term Hoggan came about from the inventor of the Cornish Pasty, Mr David Hoggan who also wrote books about how World War II transpired! He blamed the start of World War II on an anglo-polish conspiracy to wage aggression against Germany…how rude!
Mr Hoggan, we suggest that you stick to your knitting and crimping…we all know that the reason World War II started was because Hitler didn’t like your Steak and Ale recipe so stop trying to gloss over your mistakes! Perhaps if you’d focussed on developing a sauerkraut and kase pasty the whole thing would not have transpired, Hitler and Eva would have had better things to do in their spare time! hmmph!
