This looked really good today, should try soon. I guess they can be called many different things, "Pocket Taco" was one suggestion on the show. Pronounced "passties" (not to be confused with "pasties", although that's how they're both spelled!) are what I've heard them referred to. Welsh coal miners used to take them down to the mines with them for lunch. Totally different meaning if you pronounce it as if you leave out the extra "s"! lolhttp://beta.abc.go.com/shows/the-chew/recipes/Chili-Hand-Pie-Clinton-Kelly-Carla-Hall

My favourites!

Whenever we went to a drive-in when I was a kid (showing my age here), this was my fast-food choice. Yum.

I haven't had them for ages. I think I'll have to make them for lunch tomorrow, even though it's so hot. Not with the recipe you linked to, delicious as it looks, but a more traditional Cornish pasty, just with beef, onion and potato, maybe with a bit of turnip if I am energetic enough to go to the store.

 
Didn't McDonald's use to have them? I think the last time I had one of them was 1985.

And they were actually pretty good--probably deep-fried. Something about the crust was indescribably good.

I wonder which part of my DNA/arteries is irrevocably obliterated, thanks to those little fat grenades...

 
Sorry, my post was a little misleading

I grew up in South Africa, and at the drive-in movies, the food available included sausage rolls and Cornish Pasties. I don't know if you could get burgers, but I know I never ate them there because I loved pasties so much that I never chose anything else. I remember my first take-away burger was when I was about 12, when we moved to a different area that had a hole-in-the-wall burger take-away store, and I especially loved the 'pink sauce' on the burgers, which was new to me.
