The Cornish Pastie, found at England's tent, was one of my favourites from last year. It reminded me of a beef pot pie, with lots of liquid, veggies, and bits of meat.
This year's version is radically different, and quite disappointing. The ground meat is almost absorbed by the amount of dough within, which is dry. There are a few vegetables here and there. The look and texture of the pastie was not very appetizing. It was grey, and, to put it in English terms, quite stodgy.

Heritage Festival 2011 #5 - Leek Soup
This leek soup from Wales was my biggest surprise of the Heritage Festival. I loved it. It was hot and creamy and full of leek and potato. At only three tickets, you can afford to go back for a second helping - it is that good. Even though it was a hot and sunny weekend, the soup was surprisingly refreshing.
Heritage Festival 2011 #2 - Cornish Pastie
I spent a fair bit of time at the England pavilion, one reason being that there was a rocking band playing many of my classic rock favourites. I decided to try a Cornish pastie, which is a short crust pastry filled with beef and vegetables. It was like a pot pie in a pizza pop. The insides were piping hot, and although very basic, it was tasty and filling. At four tickets, it was also a bargain. Jolly good!
