Pasty

Now you know what a hot jacket is, but do you know what a Cornish Pasty is? Pronounced as in "past" not pastry, it's a dense pastry filled with meat, vegetables, or anything really. Apparently they were first created for miners in Cornwall to take for lunches. The dough is folded over into a thick crust on one side so they are easy to hold on to with one hand. They seem to be the fast food of the UK because they are relatively cheap, easy to eat on the run, and they sell them on about every corner. I've had a few and they are pretty tastey.
