Cornish Pastry
Cornish pasty or pasty, for short, is a favored delicacy of the British. Tradition is synonymous to this particular dish as it has been around ever since the 14th century. At the time, it had the distinction of being the first convenience food of hungry workers in the Cornish mines.
The original ingredients consisted of only potatoes, swede aka turnips, and onions. The addition of meat came much later on. By then the pasty had grown in popularity. Today, the pasty remains a favored all in one meal for hardworking Londoners. It is convenient and offers the necessary sustenance to get you through the day. Beef is the meat of choice for a genuine pasty. Although you will find other flavors like apple and cider, curried parsnip, and pork. The ratio of meat is less than the vegetables inside the pasty. The distinct taste of the Cornish pasty comes from its slow bake cooking process to achieve perfection. |
