Fill in the Blanks OPEN CLOZE (D)Online version CORNISH PASTY by we english 1 I'm having a fantastic time here in the UK and I thought I'd write tell you about something I've eaten which I loved ! As you know , I'm in a place called Cornwall , is in the South West . They have something called a Cornish Pasty . It looks a parcel made of pastry and the pastry holds together a mixture of meat and vegetables . Cornish pasties have interesting history . In the past , they were the basic meal for Cornish miners worked underground digging for tin . After a hard morning's work the miners would sit down to eat lunch . But because of the job they were doing , their hands covered in dangerous materials . The design of the pasty meant they could eat the meat and vegetables before throwing away the dirty pastry . I don't know if it's true and seems a shame that they couldn't eat all of it ! You can get Cornish pasties anywhere in the UK but I've been told the best ones are in Cornwall .
