New Jersey's Cornish pasty makers have forged their own traditions
The people of England’s County Cornwall were miners and when they ended up at mines around the world, they brought their "pasties" with them.
A Cornish pasty (prounounced PAS-tee) is a meat-and-vegetable filled pastry whose principal ingredients are potatoes, onions, turnips, and beef.
Iron mines brought the Cornish to Morris County. In Wharton of the 1920s, customers of Rocky’s Food Store started asking for the savories.
In 1924, the Rodkewitzes, the family that still owns Rocky’s, obliged and offered the baked goods for the first time. They were a hit.
Yesterday, the executive body of the European Union deemed that to be called Cornish pasties, the food product must be made in County Cornwall, on the southwestern tip of the United Kingdom. Not in New Jersey. Pasties must be shaped like a capital "D" and crimped on one side, "never on top," according to the Cornish Pasty Association’s website.
But Garden State pasty makers should be in the clear, said Lou Bird, a Wharton resident who serves as president of the Cornish Historical Society East.
"That’s mainly a European nose-out-of-joint phenomenon," said Bird. "I’ve never heard of anyone snooping over in America."
Bird can still recall sipping on 10-cent Coca-Colas, listening to Nat King Cole records and munching on pasties in the back of Rocky’s Food Store as a teenager.
Bird is 77 now, yet Rocky’s survives.
For owner Tom Rodkewitz, pasty-making is a family business that reaches back to his Ukrainian and Polish grandparents, Anna and Andrew Rodkewitz.
Since 1987, Rodkewitz has sold pasties under United States Department of Agriculture regulations. Rodkewitz said the USDA requires him to label his wholestale pasties as "Cornish style pasties."
"It’s hard to find a handmade authentic product that rivals [what’s available] in England," said Rodkewitz, 55. "We respect the authenticity of that recipe."
Pasties come with various fillings. Rocky’s makes sausage and chicken pasties along with the traditional beef.
An old-style version of today’s "Hot Pockets," pasties were common fare in the copper mines of Cornwall and the iron mines of western Morris County.
Kept warm with body heat or warmed up by candle lamps – accounts differ – pasties were sustenance for the working man in those days. Miners gripped the pasties by their crimped edges, ate the crust and meaty filling, and then disposed of the edges to avoid contamination from dirty hands.
