The Cornish pasty is a traditional pastry dish from Cornwall, England. It is a baked pastry filled with a mixture of diced meat (usually beef or lamb), potatoes, onions, and swede (rutabaga). The filling is seasoned with salt and pepper and then wrapped in a pastry crust. The pasty is then baked until golden and crispy. It is a portable and convenient meal that was originally popular among miners in Cornwall. Today, it is enjoyed by people all over the UK.
