Do you like eating meat? 



Do you always have meat in your pasty? 



Do you always have meat in your pasty? 



Was there meat in traditional pasties in the past? 



And what was the meat like? 



Nowadays there is beef in a meat pasty, but perhaps not every



housewife had beef. 




Many households had a cottage pig, and  people in the countryside 



could catch rabbits. 



Poor people could sprout (dialect cheeny or chitting) barley for a pasty


filling. 



There is potato, turnip and onion in pasties as well (or, instead of 




onion, leek or ramsons were used).
