These are pasties no?

Based on a Roman tin-miners lunch.

They’re similar, maybe a bit more like a Gregg’s bake in form factor, but I find the crust on these not as tough as a Cornish pastie - that said, I don’t remember the last time I was down a mine holding a pastie by its crimped edge…

However, I’m in NYC, where it seems like nobody sells Cornish pasties, these are a good alternative.

You’re not supposed to eat the crust on a Cornish pasty. That’s for holding it.

There was a Australian here on reddit trying to tell us pasties we’re invented in Perth before WW1. He got shut down pretty quick. The romans apparently beat the Australians to it.
