From my travel notebook (entry dated 5/11/01): We ate pasties from a shop across from the castle [Cardiff Castle] and both had cranberry juice–a joy. CORNISH PASTY SHOP!!
Whenever we’re feeling sentimental and start naming our favorite foods, cornish pasties get mentioned. Simple and delicious food. Last night we made cornish pasties because that’s how we do romance around here.
We found a recipe and except for using store-bought pie crusts we followed the recipe exactly.
Here are our root veggies chopped (turnip, onion and potato):
We added everything to our flattened out pie crusts:
After sealing them, we gave them an egg wash:
They cooked for about an hour and the house smelled wonderful:
We served with green beans and the remaining fried roots:
You have me wishing I had one right now. I first had one in Cornwall England about 100 years ago and have always wanted to try making them myself.
With your talents, I’m sure you can do amazing things with this recipe.
That looks really good…have you ever tried them with any other meat besides beef? Or without meat at all?
First time we’ve ever made them. I know when we were in the UK they had veggie and fruit ones (although not in the same pasty).
