I might have asked you this before, but what is a pasty? James May used to talk about them all the time. At first I thought it was a kind of sandwich, then he said something about an orange pasty, so I thought it might be a dessert. I'm just not sure.

It's a short crust pastry pie, essentially, filled typically with meat and potatoes (though cheese and mushroom and/or chicken are standard now) though shaped like this, for easier eating
