A pastie is a Northern Irish specialty, similar to a pie filled with a stuffing made from pork, onion and potato. Delicious, it is mainly found in local Irish pubs and fish and chips.
Pasties are similar to turnovers or empanadas. They are traditionally served in Irish pubs for less than €7 a dish. All served with French fries and Anglo-Saxon sauces (ketchup, barbecue sauce, vinegar, etc.).
Stuffing composition may vary from establishment to establishment, but generally consists of minced pork or chicken, marinated in spices, vegetables and onions. The result is surprisingly delicious, very economical, and ideal for eating on the go for a change from the eternal fish and chips.
There’s also a variation on pastie: “Bap Pastie”. It’s the same pie, but this time eaten hamburger-style, wedged between 2 buns.
