The Cornish pasty is a savory pastry that originated in Cornwall, England. It is made by folding a pastry crust around a filling of diced meat (usually beef), potatoes, onions, and sometimes vegetables such as swede or turnip. The pasty is then baked until the crust is golden and flaky. Cornish pasties are a popular grab-and-go meal in Britain and are often enjoyed as a lunchtime treat. They can be eaten hot or cold.
