At her 16th century Tudor farmhouse in the English countryside of Suffolk, Linda Duffin (aka Mrs Portly’s Kitchen) hosts classes in everything from pickles and preserves to pastry and pies. Participants utilize ingredients from Duffin’s own garden, as well as, those from local purveyors. One such purveyor is Truly Traceable, a husband-and-wife team that supplies the game for Duffin’s venison pasties. “A pasty is a round pastry that’s topped with ingredients like crab, venison, or beef and veggies,” says Duffin, “and then folded over, sealed, and baked. It’s like a pie without the effort.” The first known mention of pasties dates back to 1300, appearing in Le Viandier, a collection of Middle Ages recipes. While pasties are often referred to as hand pies (individually sized pies that can fit into your hand), not all hand pies are pasties. Empanadas are considered hand pies, though their flaky, layered dough differs from traditional pasty dough, which is typically firm and sturdy. Calzones, Italy’s version of the hand pie, utilize pizza dough and are often bursting at the seams with a ricotta cheese filling. Although mouthwatering in taste, they don’t hold up well in transport.

Then there’s the Cornish pasty, which is its own entity entirely.

As the national dish of Cornwall, England, the Cornish pasty is legendary. “A very large portion of Cornwall’s population worked in the local tin mines in the 17th and 18th centuries,” says Joyce White, a food historian and journalist based in Annapolis, Maryland. “Once down there, they couldn’t really come up for lunch, so they’d bring their pasty. The pasties were not only convenient because they were portable, but they were also a safer way to eat.” White is referring to the Cornish pasty’s unique crimp, which not only seals in its juices, but supposedly also provided miners something to grasp, hold, and discard of after they’d consumed the rest. This way, if the miners had any arsenic on their fingers from the tin mines, that arsenic would never make it into their stomachs. According to the Cornish Pasty Association, the crimp is just one of the characteristics of an authentic Cornish pasty, which is made with a mix of diced or minced beef, potato, rutabaga, and onion, and a little salt and pepper to taste. These ingredients then are added as a raw topping and cooked right along with the pastry. This can be a shortcrust, rough puff, or puff pastry, but it must be both savory and hearty to adhere to the Cornish Pasty’s Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, which it earned in 2011.

What happens if you eat only one meal a day?

Eating one meal a day can increase your blood pressure and cholesterol. This occurred in a group of healthy adults who switched to one meal a day to participate in a study. If you already have concerns in either area, eating just once a day might not be safe. Eating one meal late can cause your blood sugar to spike.

The “One Meal a Day” diet, or OMAD diet, claims to help you lose weight by forcing your body to burn fat. It’s a type of intermittent fasting, which alternates between periods throughout the day in which you can eat anything and periods in which you don’t eat at all. OMAD is particularly strict because you don’t eat for 23 hours, then consume all of your calories in a single meal. How It Works Like other kinds of intermittent fasting, eating one meal a day is a way of manipulating how your body finds and uses fuel. When you eat in a more traditional pattern, your energy comes from the food that you eat. When you take in carbohydrates, your body breaks them down into sugars. If you have more sugar in your blood than you need, a chemical called insulin will carry the extra into your fat cells. When you don’t eat for extended periods of time, your body produces less insulin. Your cells still need energy for fuel, so your fat cells release energy to compensate. For this to happen, however, you have to avoid eating for long enough that your insulin levels drop.
