Life of pie

Made famous by the miners of Cornwall, Cornish pasties are baked in a savoury pastry or shortcrust pastry case, though puff pastry can also be used. These little pockets of deliciousness are traditionally filled with raw diced beef, potatoes, turnips, parsley, swede and onion, and seasoned with salt and pepper. Though the miners carried them in their lunch boxes to eat later in the day, Cornish pasties are best served piping hot straight out of the oven.
