The Cornish pasty is a traditional pastry that originated in Cornwall, England. It is a handheld pie filled with a savory mixture of diced meat (usually beef), potatoes, onions, and swede (rutabaga). The filling is seasoned with salt and pepper and encased in a flaky pastry crust. The pasty is then baked until golden and crispy. Cornish pasties are a popular on-the-go snack or lunch option in the UK. They are delicious, portable, and perfect for enjoying on a picnic or during a busy day.
