Pastie
A pastie is a large to medium sized round battered pie common to Northern Ireland. Generally served with chips to form a "pastie supper", or in a bap as a "pastie bap", it is a common staple in most chip shops in the country. Recipes vary, but the most common ingredients are minced pork, onion, potato and seasoning formed into a 'round' 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 now stopped using this method due to issues with Cochineal. There is common confusion with the name, with many visitors mistaking it for the Cornish pasty.
The New Hacker's Dictionary
pastie
An adhesive-backed label designed to be attached to a key on a keyboard to indicate some non-standard character which can be accessed through that key. Pasties are likely to be used in APL environments, where almost every key is associated with a special character. A pastie on the R key, for example, might remind the user that it is used to generate the ρ character. The term properly refers to nipple-concealing devices formerly worn by strippers in concession to indecent-exposure laws; compare tits on a keyboard.
