@dylan foley Not remotely true. Modern "Europeans" with Gernamic roots came from about Central Asia. We even have Roman records tracing some of their migrations, as well as archeological evidence. Native populations - Basques, Sammi, etc. were displaced and marginalized. Even the Celts didn't come from Europe. And to move in, the Gernamic people killed. Open a book and learn.

My grandmother was a Volga German. The bierock (we just called them "cabbage buns") is a staple tradition in my family, we like to make them for birthdays, and everyone has their favorite topping to put inside. You can also get them at a chain restaurant called "Runza," but it doesn't beat home-made by grandma.

In North Dakota the German-Russians from the Crimean region have something similar called the "Fleischkuekle", it's deep fried instead of baked and I have never seen cabbage in them.

Bierock, also known as Runza! Saw it and immediately knew what was up. Temperature Tuesdays were the best. Never forget your Nebraska roots!

[@williamaldred335]

Though one important thing to note as you mentioned the Cornish Pasty. Unlike the others, the pasty was both a meal and a dessert and fairly bigger than the others, you would make two seperate fillings one of meat and potato and a sweet filling usually apples or other fruit. Then the pasty would have pastry to seperate the two fillings and the sweet side of the pasty would be marked usually by sprinkling it with sugar. The reason being they where made for Miners, you would probably spent the majority of the day underground and having a full meal when so deep underground was practically impossible. If you go to Cornwall there are bakerys that still make the traditional version to this very day.
