I wonder if that's cognate with "Pastie" (pronounced kind of like PAWS-tea) which is popular in (Celtic) Cornwall as well as Northern Ireland?

Similar dish it seems to me.

Pasties are also very popular in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and around Butte, Montana, two places where Cornish miners migrated to work on giant iron and copper mines in the New World. The U.P. in particular has (or had, when I visited there in the '80s and '90s) more drive-in fast-food pasty shops than McDonald's. Legend has it that a pasty made a filling portable lunch that a miner could carry to work on his shovel.
