A pastie is a savory pastry originating from Cornwall, England, commonly enjoyed as a portable meal. Traditionally, it consists of a hand-crimped pastry crust filled with a mixture of diced beef, potatoes, onions, and rutabaga (swede), seasoned with salt and pepper. This hearty dish has its roots in British working-class cuisine, particularly among miners and laborers, who valued its durability and convenience. Nutritionally, pasties provide a balanced mix of carbohydrates from the pastry and starches, protein from the meat, and fiber from the vegetables. However, they can be calorie-dense due to the buttery crust and higher fat content, making portion control important. Modern variations might include alternative fillings, vegetarian options, or whole-grain pastry for a healthier twist. A pastie is best enjoyed as an occasional treat within a varied, balanced diet.
