“Pasties are a Welsh “sandwich” (somewhat like a meat and potato filled turnover) that miners took in their lunch bucket. They are popular lunch fare in Michigan and Wisconsin.”
Close, but I think pasties are more of a Cornish specialty than Welsh. At least the “Cornish pasty” is the one that I’m familiar with. The pastry is not a puff pastry, or a flaky pie-crust type, but something a little sturdier. And yes, made right they are a very satisfying meal.
I suspect the subject of this article should have referenced “pastries” rather than “pasties”.
Indeed!
Cornish.
And in fact, the title of the actual article (in the link) does say “pastries”, not “pasties”, I see now.
