How Cornish Pasties Got to California
Grass Valley’s Cornish pasties are a remnant of the town’s mining history
Back Web Only May 6, 2021 By Jennifer Fergesen On the counter of Marshall’s Pasties in Grass Valley, next to a few of the awards the 53-year-old shop has accumulated, there’s a blackened metal lunch pail. It doesn’t look like much against the stacks of plaques and framed certificates, but the pail is a direct connection to the mines that once powered this gold rush town. Marshall’s Pasties has an antique miner’s lunch pail on display. (Photo courtesy of Marshall’s Pasties)
Each week we’ll run through the sublime, the trivial and profound issues, decisions and goings on that strike us as Hits or Misses. you can join in, too, by emailing your Hits & Misses to editboard@theunion.com.
HIT (from reader Barbara Drew): To the photographers featured frequently in the Nevada County Captures section of The Union: Annita Kasparian, Steve Hillis, and Denise Fink. Your photos are often breathtaking and remind us how fortunate we are to live in this beautiful county. Thank you!
HIT (from reader Nancy Guenther): To the government entities responsible for putting in a concrete circle in the roundabout at Olympic Park Circle and for re-striping the traffic lanes in the Dorsey interchange. They were so faded that it was difficult to tell just where the lanes were. Now it’s clear and much safer.
