The Cornish pasty is a traditional pastry that originated in Cornwall, England. It is a baked pastry filled with a mixture of diced meat (usually beef or lamb), potatoes, onions, and swede (a type of turnip). The filling is seasoned with salt and pepper, and the pastry is crimped along the edges to seal in the flavors. Cornish pasties are a popular grab-and-go snack in Britain and are often enjoyed for lunch or as a quick meal on the go.
