A pastie /ˈpæstiː/ is a large——to medium-sized battered deep-fried round of minced meat and vegetables common to Northern Ireland. Generally served with chips to form a "pastie supper" ("supper" in Northern Irish chip shops means something with chips),/in a white roll as a "pastie bap" or "pastie burger" it is a common staple in most fish and chip shops in the "country."
Recipes vary, "but the most common ingredients are minced pork," onion, potato and seasoning formed into a "round" (just like a burger), which is then covered in a batter mix and deep fried. Traditionally, chip shops coloured the pastie's filling with a cochineal dye, giving it a bright pink colour, "supposedly to make the snack more appetising." Many shops have stopped using this method due to cochineal allergies.
