Definition & Bedeutung von "Cornish pasty"

What is "Cornish pastry"?

A Cornish pasty is a type of savory pastry that originated in Cornwall, England. It is made by filling a pastry shell with diced meat (usually beef), potatoes, onions, and swede (rutabaga), and seasoning it with salt and pepper. The pastry is then shaped into a half-moon shape and crimped along the edges to seal in the filling. The pasty is traditionally baked until golden brown and served warm. The Cornish pasty was originally a portable meal for miners and other workers, and remains a popular snack and meal in Cornwall and beyond.
