The Cornish pasty is a traditional pastry dish that originated in Cornwall, England. It is a baked pastry filled with a mixture of diced meat (usually beef or lamb), potatoes, onions, and sometimes vegetables such as carrots or swede. The filling is seasoned with salt and pepper and enclosed in a pastry crust, which is crimped along the edge to seal in the flavors. Cornish pasties are often enjoyed as a portable lunch or snack and can be found in bakeries and cafes throughout Cornwall. They are a delicious and convenient option for those on the go.
