Dear mrs. Bonk,

I'm intrigued. Any chance of sharing a pastie recipe. I don't even know
what they are, but now I am hungry.

this recipe is much the same as mine except:
Let the filling be roughly half meat and half potato and onion mix, I don't
use the swede/turnip.
Wet the meat or add a teaspoon of water to the mix.
I cook mine for an hour, sometimes longer, but I do have big ones - I use a
dinner plate to cut out the pastry.
I often make a batch and they freeze well before cooking.
Eat hot or cold.

I think you're in for a treat. I like the ones without turnip best. The
only decent ones I've had were in Nova Scotia, near Digby. I'd like to
try them in their birthplace. I've been told that they originated as
food for Cornish miners, food that could be taken wrapped when going in
and still be warm at lunch.

The recipe says "add seasonings" to the filling mix, salt and pepper i
assume but i wonder what other, if any herbs, spices or seasonings are
used? garlic?

I am familiar and like peroskies (sp?) and they seem similar to the
cornish pasties but more often i have seen them very elaborate with meat
and cheeses and potatoes and lots of mid eastern spices though there are
eastern european and russian versions that use different spices, i am
more familiar with the mid east versions.

Sorry for my late reply dear I have been away to where they eat haggis and
read poetry.
Salt and pepper only, white pepper and I like lots of it.
