Re: [Mid] waybread

All I can think of is the Pasty, here are a couple links to recipes. the
Cornish miners packed them around to and from work. In 'Da U.P' you can
still get pasties at various pasty shops. MMMMMM!!!!

They all pretty much say the same thing. I would say leave out the carrots
and turnips, definitely use the Swede (rutabagas) yummy things, eaten hot
or cold. I have heard of the miners used to put a little fruit like pie
filling at one end, and their wives would mark that end with their initials.
Makes for a nice desert. and the ands of the pasties having thicker horns
of crust to hold onto which was thrown away because of the dirty hands of
the miners.

Hope this helps a little
