So, what are pasties..?

[aman]

They are meat, potato, onion and turnip (sweed to you) in a pastry case that you can eat on the go

They are an institution here in Cornwall

Almost, yes. Except the outer casing is pastry, but essentially food in a wrap. They used to have sweet filling in one end and savoury in the other and the crust was used as a handle and not eaten. When miners ate them they sometimes has arsenic on their hands and didn't eat the crust to stop themselves becoming poisoned.

How can you call that a pasty, Ross? You living in Cornwall and everything!!

I want the whole world to know that's not a pasty. (By the way, I'm not Cornish )

Pasties don't have parsley, they're not made with rib eye steak and the crimp definitely isn't along the top!!!

I've just noticed that they cook the vegetables before they put them in the 'pie'. What are they doing????
