...why is the Cornish pasty the shape it is?

It is said to be designed so the miners could hold the crust to avoid covering their food in arsenic, which was common in the extraction of Tin and Copper.

Once they had finished eating, they threw the crust away. The miners pasty is somewhat different to the one we know today, one half was sweet and the other half was savoury.
