The Cornish pasty is a traditional British pastry that originated in Cornwall. It is a savory pastry filled with a mixture of diced meat, potatoes, onions, and swede (rutabaga). The filling is seasoned with salt and pepper and encased in a flaky pastry crust. Cornish pasties are typically baked until golden and can be enjoyed hot or cold. They are a popular grab-and-go meal in Britain and are often enjoyed as a lunch or dinner option.
