Generally served with french fries, chips to form a "pastie supper" ("supper" in Northern Irish chip shops means something with chips), or in a white roll as a "pastie bap" or "pastie burger" it is a common staple in most fish and chips, 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 Patty, burger), which is then covered in a Batter (cooking), batter mix and Deep frying, deep fried.Northern Ireland in your pocket
