Very interesting. I guess it's a good thing that here in Michigan where pasties are a transplant we have never labled them Cornish.
 
Interesting. One of the links on the right had a recipe. A swede (fwiw) is a rutabaga on this side of the pond.
I grow my own rutabagas, I still have some of last years crop left.

Top Tip leave Sven the Swede in the ground till after the first hard frost.
Ps what do you call your Turnip?

I enjoyed the link you provided about the Pastie Society. Thanks!

Isn't that the same as you calling your rutabagas "Jill"? :rolleyes:

What kind of cut do you use for rutabagas in pasties in order to get them to cook through and not be crunchy since nothing is pre-cooked? Ultra thin sliced?

Actually, rutabagas are winter turnips. The "white/purple" turnips are summer turnips. My DH ordered turnip seed one year to surprise me. I was dismayed that the seed was "summer turnip" and not rutabagas. I don't know how to cook summer turnips!

I don't notice much difference between them except the colour and size. Rutabagas are usually larger.
 
Well--I notice a difference in texture and taste...and rutabagas keep longer when stored for the winter. Guess that's why they are winter turnips <g>.

I slice mine very thin before placing them in the pastry. I do saute the onions and celery a bit before placing in pastry. I use turnips and rutabagas. (Depending upon the season.) Same result.
