520 _a"Cornish Feasts and Folk-lore" by M. A. Courtney is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the rich tapestry of Cornish traditions, examining the folklore, customs, and culinary practices surrounding various feasts celebrated in Cornwall. It explores themes of hospitality, community, and the intertwining of religious observance with local customs. The opening of the book presents a vivid introduction to Cornish traditions. It discusses the enduring beliefs in charms and superstitions, describing the local customs related to saints’ days and community feasts that are celebrated with enthusiasm, such as "feasten" Sunday and Monday. Detailed descriptions of the special foods prepared for these occasions, including "figgy-pudden" and various types of cakes, provide a glimpse into the culinary heritage of Cornwall. Courtney sets the stage for a deeper exploration of rituals, fairs, and the interplay of joy and superstition that characterize Cornish culture, inviting readers to appreciate the unique traditions of this region.
