Cornish pasty

Named after Cornwall, England, these savoury turnovers consist of a short-crust pastry enfolding a chopped meat-and-potato filling. Other vegetables and sometimes fish are also used. In the 18th and 19th centuries, pasties were the standard lunch of Cornwall's tin miners. It was common to place a savoury mixture in one end and an apple mixture in the other so both meat and dessert could be enjoyed in the same pasty.
