The Cornish miners who brought football and pasties to Mexico

Cornish miners have a long history of migrating to various parts of the world in search of work, often bringing their cultural traditions with them. Mexico was one such destination, with many Cornish miners settling there in the 19th century to work in the country's mining industry. As a result, they introduced aspects of their culture, including their love of football and traditional foods like pasties, which have had a lasting impact on Mexican society.
