Cornish Pasties
God's own food. See also Heinz Baked Beans.
Pastry wrapped around meat, potato and vegetables. The pastry is folded around the filling and crimped to from a single line of crust over the top.
Created in Cornwall by wives for their husbands' to eat while down the mines. The thick line of crust enabled the miners to eat the filling without touching it with their dirty hands (no porcelain sinks and Body Shop liquid soap down t'pit). The crusts could then be discarded. Though if you've washed your hands and you happen to have a knife and fork (and know how to use them, America) then the crust is as good as the rest and certainly not to be wasted.
