Oh, boy. Another flatlander. :-)

The venerable pasty is a Cornish baked pastry with a filling of beef, potatoes, turnips and onions. The copper miners ate these for lunch because the pasty stayed warm in their pails and provided the energy for hard-rock mining.

But I like your idea of drinking whiskey and pasties, provided the latter are on the right women.
