Street food Cornish Pasty — the authentic version
The best Cornish Pasty I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The subtly sweet with caramelised elements intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. Worcestershire sauce was used without hesitation, the way it should be.
