Carr's pasty

Carr's pasty is a traditional savory pastry originating from Cornwall, England. It consists of a shortcrust pastry filled with a mixture of beef, potato, onion, and turnip, seasoned to enhance flavor. Designed as a portable meal for miners and workers, the pasty’s crimped edge helps hold the filling securely and prevents contamination. It’s baked until golden, creating a hearty, convenient, and durable dish that can be eaten cold or hot. Carr’s pasty celebrates regional culinary heritage and remains popular for its satisfying combination of meat and vegetables in a portable, easy-to-eat form.
