About Cornish Pasty Week
United Kingdom & Ireland
Ends: Mar 02, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
The Cornish Pasty Association established the Cornish Pasty Week to celebrate and promote this culinary icon. This week-long event, usually held in late February or early March, is a relatively recent addition to Cornwall's cultural calendar. It features a range of activities, including pasty-making demonstrations, competitions, and tastings. Local bakeries and chefs showcase their versions of the classic pasty, often adding creative twists to the traditional recipe.
One of the highlights of Cornish Pasty Week is the 'World Pasty Championships,' held at the Eden Project, a popular attraction in Cornwall. This competition attracts bakers across Cornwall and beyond, all vying for the best traditional and non-traditional pasties. The event celebrates the pasty's history and encourages innovation in pasty-making.
Cornish pasty is a traditional British dish deeply intertwined with the culture and lifestyle of Cornwall, England, tracing to the 13th century. Initially, pasties were a luxury food in royal courts, but by the 18th century, they became a staple for Cornish miners. The pasty's unique design, with a thick, crimped edge, made it easy to eat with dirty hands, and its hearty filling provided much-needed sustenance for long hours underground.
The classic Cornish pasty includes a stuffing of beef, swede (rutabaga), potato, and onion, seasoned simply with salt and pepper. This combination, baked inside a shortcrust pastry, is delicious and practical. The robust crust acted as a handle, which miners could discard after eating the rest of the pasty, avoiding ingesting toxic substances from the mines.
As the Cornish mining industry waned, the pasty remained a beloved symbol of Cornish identity and culture. Recognizing its significance, the European Union awarded the Cornish pasty Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in 2011, meaning only pasties made in Cornwall according to traditional recipes may be labeled as "Cornish pasties."
