The meat pasty is a savory pastry with origins in Cornwall, England, and is a traditional staple of British cuisine. Typically shaped like a semicircle, it features a flaky crust enveloping a filling of diced or minced meat, potatoes, onions, and occasionally other vegetables such as turnips or carrots. The classic Cornish pasty uses beef as its protein source, but variations with chicken, lamb, or pork exist. Nutritionally, meat pasties provide a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The pastry offers energy through its carbohydrate content, while the meat contributes essential proteins and iron. However, they can be high in saturated fats and calories due to the buttery pastry and meat cuts chosen. Though not classified as a health food, meat pasties can be enjoyed as a hearty treat when consumed in moderation and paired with fresh salads or lighter sides for a balanced meal.
