The pasty is a traditional savory pastry originating from Cornwall, England. Typically crafted with a shortcrust pastry shell, it encases a hearty filling of diced beef, potatoes, onions, and rutabaga (or swede). Known for its convenient, handheld design, the pasty was historically favored by miners as a portable and satisfying meal. While it boasts a balance of protein from the meat and fiber from the vegetables, its healthfulness is influenced by the pastry, which is often rich in butter or lard. This contributes to a higher calorie and fat content. Variations include vegetarian or vegan options, offering alternative fillings like mushrooms, lentils, or spinach and cheese. While the pasty can be a nutritious and filling option, moderation is key, especially for those mindful of calorie and fat intake. Traditional Cornish pasties hold Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, signifying their cultural and culinary importance in the UK.
