La Karencita | Why are all these Mexicans eating British food? @LaKarencitaMX | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
How did this English food become a local delicacy in a small town in the mountains of Hidalgo Mexico? What is the connection between Mineral del Monte and the British county of Cornwall? Let's find out!
As you may know, I'm from the state of Hidalgo in central Mexico and today I'm going to show you a beautiful mountain town and tell you about it's fascinating and unexpected history.
The mountains surrounding the city of Pachuca, Hidalgo are rich in minerals and mining was central to the local economy for centuries. As a result, small towns like Mineral del Monte flourished and attracted immigration from across the world.
In the 19th century, a British company from Cornwall in England invested in the mines in Hidalgo and a lot of Cornish miners travelled from England to work in Mexico. These miners brought their local food and customs with them and now, the Cornish pastie is a local specialty, made with a Mexican twist!
