My great grandma made this pie and it is famous in my family. My recipe doesn't include the cloves, nutmeg or allspice, but I used it last time and it was better. We always served it with pepper relish or home made chilli sauce.
As for the pasty's, I am British, grew up in Yorkshire, and a pasty is a flaky pastry, similar to puff pastry. The Cornish pasty is similar to this pie filling, but there is also other fillings, ham and cheese, cheese and onion, veggie.
