Tom Bawcock’s Eve

Mousehole (in Cornwall) where my family lived for decades - celebrates this on the 23rd, as lore has it that Tom saved the village from starvation, many, many years ago.
(More here: https://www.cornwallforever.co.uk/year/tom-bawcocks-eve, and yes, that’s what ‘The Mousehole Cat’ story is based on, full animation here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YlIC69CIJ00 )

I may not be able to be there in person, I may not be up for making Starry Gazey Pie, but it can be honoured in another Cornish foody way!
