The paste has its roots in the Cornish pasty introduced by miners and builders from Cornwall in the United Kingdom, who were contracted in the towns of Mineral del Monte (Real del Monte) and Pachuca in Hidalgo starting in 1824.[2]
Festival
The International Pasty Festival is held in Real del Monte for three days each October.[3]
