  HAGGEN-BAG, HAGNY-BAG : a pair of bags arranged to hang over the shoulders, in front and behind, for provisions, etc. Hoggen is a Cornish word for a pork pasty, or flat cake, and hoggan-bag is a miner's provison bag. From old Cornish hogen, a pork pasty, from hoch, a pig. This from E.D.D., which gives the word for Cornwall only. It is strange that it should be used with us, it is, commonly. N.E.D. seems not to notice it.
