your neighbor to your south is seeing very contrasting and flashing bands of gray to blue moving across the sky, several hours later than your post

Do you like to eat pasties? I am making Jamaican Beef Patties and I heard about pasties and became curious if these are common where you live.

I live in the USA, but they're an old family recipe brought over by my Cornish ancestors.

I love Cornish pasties (rhymes with has not haste - ies)

 

[Givrali]

The Pâté Vaudois (regional place and translation of pasties) are commun in december holidays. But I hate the taste

 

[Rose White]

@Givrali is it the meat jelly that you don’t like?

 

[Givrali]

I hate the whole thing

I heart hand pies.

Not the ‘Hot Pocket’ US version, but Puff pastry AU version. The Cornish version of “throw the crust away” (so it doesn’t poison you, just a lump of dough for your filthy hands to hold onto whilst you eat the good bit) is how I feel about American almost-anything-pie. Sweet or savory. The filling is great, the crust is dee-gusting (even if we don’t have coal/tin/mercury/etc. on our hands). Shudder. Sooooo gross. Yuck. Ick. Spit it out. Just scrape the filling out with your fork!

AU handpies.
Indian Samosas.
Even Italian Calzones.
Soooo delicious.

Pie crust? Is. Just. Gross.

Are you Jamaican? My family is.
