A pasty is like a pocket sandwich, pastry crust filled with meat,
potatoes, root vegetables (turnips, e.g.).  I think it's traditionally a
Cornish food?  It's popular in the northern states (the really northern
ones, Michigan and so on)...  I can't say that I've ever actually had
one, though, so someone else'll have to testify as to whether they're
good or not...
