This is the story they plug in Cornwall for the tourist. I've never heard of the pasty warmed on a miners shovel. I wasn't even aware they'd have open fires (for heating pasties) down in the mine for safety reasons?

According to both of those articles, they used the candle from the lamp to warm it.

Naked flames were prohibited in mines because of the risk of explosion. The Davey lamp was specifically designed to prevent this.

Was that an issue in all mines, or just coal mines? Because a lot of Cornish mining was for Tin.

The original cornish pasty was made up of 3 parcels, one for the meat/potato, one for the fruit & a small one at the end containing an after eight mint to complete the meal (courtesy of the great Cornish historian, Jethro).
