Pasties resemble turnovers from many other cuisines and cultures, including the bridie in Scotland, empanada in Spanish-speaking countries, pirog in Eastern Europe, samsa in Central Asia, and the curry puff in Southeast Asia. The pasty (rhymes with “nasty”) is a traditional workingman’s meal from Cornwall, England. It’s traditionally made with beef, diced potatoes, onion, and rutabaga, although the proportions and type of meat change depending on who’s making it. People with a sweet tooth will be glad to hear that pasties can also come 50/50, with half being savory and the other half sweet. Lehto’s Pasties in St. Ignace: Around since 1947, Lehto’s changes up the shape a bit with a log-shaped pasty. It’s been a favorite for decades despite its break from tradition. Lehto’s offers free ketchup or you can pay for gravy on the side.

By the late 19th century, national cookery schools began to teach their pupils to create their own version of a "Cornish pasty" that was smaller and was to be eaten as an "economical savoury nibble for polite middle-class Victorians".

Whilst the PGI rules state that a Cornish pasty must be a "D" shape, with crimping along the curve (i.e., side-crimped), [36] crimping is variable within both Devon and Cornwall, with some advocating a side crimp while others maintain that a top crimp is more authentic. [18] [47] [51] Some sources state that the difference between a Devon and Cornish pasty is that a Devon pasty has a top-crimp and is oval in shape, whereas the Cornish pasty is semicircular and side-crimped along the curve. [41] However, pasties with a top crimp have been made in Cornwall for generations, [52] yet those Cornish bakers who favour this method now find that they cannot legally call their pasties "Cornish". [53] Paul Hollywood, writing for BBC Food, stated that a traditional Cornish pasty should have about 20 crimps. [54] Legal aspects [ edit ] Nominees: Timothy J.
