The Wicker Man:- A large wicker statue used by Druids (priests of Celtic paganism) for human sacrifice by burning it, according to Roman Emperor Julius Caesar in his Commentarii de Bello Gallico (Commentary on the Gallic War).

While other Roman writers of the time, such as Cicero, Suetonius, Lucan, Tacitus and Pliny the Elder, described human sacrifice among the Celts, only Caesar mentions the wicker man as one of many ways the Druids performed sacrifices. Caesar reports that some built the effigies out of sticks and placed living men inside, then set them on fire to pay tribute to the gods.

The Puffing Devil:- Inspiration of the Cornish folk song "Camborne Hill" was the first demonstration of transportation powered by steam, by Richard Trevithick. He built a full-size steam road locomotive in 1801 on a site near the present day Fore Street at Camborne. He named the carriage 'Puffing Devil' and, on Christmas Eve that year, he demonstrated it by successfully carrying several men. The vehicle moved up Fore Street, then continuing on up Camborne Hill, from Camborne Cross, to the village of Beacon.

Traditional Cornish Pasty:- Traditionally skirt steak is used, finely sliced onion, and potato. Other common ingredients include swede, seasoned with salt and pepper...NO CARROTS
