“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!
