1. What are the defining characteristics of the "traditional Cornish
pasty?" If it is simply some filling contained in some crust, that is
certainly period--but I think of it as more narrowly defined than that. If,
for example, the definition includes potatoes in the filling, then it
cannot be earlier than Columbus and is quite likely to be out of our period
entirely.

2. What is your reason for thinking it is period?
