Traditional pasties originate from Cornwall, England hence the name Cornish Pasties. Pasties were made for tin miners who could eat their lunches easily and efficiently while down in the mines. Traditional pasties are stuffed with beef, potatoes, swede (type of turnip) or rutabaga, and onions. The crust provided a sort of handle so the miners would not eat traces of arsenic that may have been on their hands from working in the tin mines. The crusts were discarded in the mines for the "knockers," whom some believed to be spirits in the mines that might lead them into danger.

Cobar, in far western New South Wales, is a very remote region, well populated by indigenous Australians, so native animals would have been common on the menu. The town was settled by Cornish people, and in 1906, the Cornish influence was still strong. Therefore, foods commonly eaten eaten by the European settlers would have included Cornish pasties, which were savoury pastries made with turnip, potatoes, beef and onion. They also would have eaten pies and stews with meats from wild animals or domestic stock, or squab pie of apples, onions and salt pork.
