Stargazy

Stargazy pie is a Cornish dish from the fishing village of Mousehole. Rumour has it that one stormy December in the 16th century, local fisherman, Tom Bamcock saved the village from starving by courageously taking to the wild seas. He turned his catch into an enormous pie, large enough to feed the whole village. To celebrate his bravery, Stargazy pie with pilchard heads poking out the top so they appear to be gazing skyward is now a famous traditional Cornish dish. The night sky illustrations of the locally produced Stargazy Cosmic Caramel rum liqueur give a nod to the legend.
