London: The Cornish Pasty

I feel in love with the Cornish Pasty during my summer in Bristol some 5 years ago. Picture an apple turnover, with meat, potatoes, and onion stew inside. Amazing stuff, and I ate one almost everyday. History has it, workers in Cornwall wanted to have their meat stew for lunch at work, but being difficult to eat, their wives conveniently baked it into an enclosed crust. I actually had the opportunity to go to the Cornwall area that summer and try one there.

So on a cold night, Waverly and I spotted the Cornish Bakehouse, and we of course had to indulge ourself -- the sign did say "award winning" after all.

Surprisingly I really enjoyed the Cornish pasty and fish & chips more than the pig knuckle we had in Germany. British food is great. Better than I expected. On the contrary, German pig knuckle didn’t quite meet my expectation.
