Cornish-style Pasties

Cultural Context

Cornish pasties originated in Cornwall, England, as a portable meal for miners. Traditionally filled with meat and vegetables, they were designed to be easily eaten by hand. The pasty is a symbol of Cornish culture, celebrated in local festivals. Today, variations exist worldwide, with fillings ranging from vegetarian to sweet, reflecting global tastes and dietary preferences.
