TRADITIONAL BELFAST Pastie, a popular NORTHERN IRISH snack

The Belfast pastie, a unique, distinctive, and beloved food item in Northern Ireland, particularly in Belfast, has a history that intertwines with the cultural and social fabric of the region. While its origins are somewhat murky, the pastie's development reflects the broader history of working-class Belfast. A pastie like no other - no pastry!
The Belfast pastie originated in the working-class communities of Belfast. It was a practical and economical way to create a filling meal. The pastie's ingredients - typically minced pork, potato, and onion - were readily available and affordable, making it a popular choice among families.
Nowadays, the Belfast pastie is considered a delicacy and is an integral part of Northern Ireland's culinary heritage. It's a sought-after comfort food for locals and a must-try for visitors. Most Fish and Chips shops throughout Belfast and Northern Ireland have the Belfast Pastie on their menu. Served with Chips and a side of mushy peas, this is comfort food at its best.

Hey Rik. That made me laugh when I first saw it. My Missus is from Belfast and I have spent the best part of 20 years there. When I first met her she was going The Chippie for some lunch and she said to me that they did a lovely Pastie, so I says, get me one with Chips. When I open the paper I am staring at it, what??? I didn't know what it was, I was expecting a Cornish Pasty, I won't tell ya what she called me but Boy I soon got to love them, they are superb and they sure looked the right stuff mate 👍

[@BackyardChef]

Stephen, you have made my day, mate! I can believe what she might have said. Yes, I made these as I remembered. I hope I've done them justice - Henrietta, who commented first, is from Northern Ireland and didn't complain. Best, Rik

[@scented-leafpelargonium3366]

Pasties were invented by getting rid of leftover chips and sauages put through the mincer and battered. Nowadays many are made specially, but many recipes originate from preventing waste, like stale bread for toast & croutons and hard sponge cake for trifle.

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik

[@hammondified]

Yes! That's the one, I also thought baked beans helped with colour!

[@Jojobber]

This vid was great. I've just subscribed. When I was a kid (way back in the seventies) my Grandad used to make a version of this. The only difference was that he would use corned beef instead of pork, everything else was exactly the same as your recipe. I used to help with the mixing. Grandad would always leave a couple aside for me to take home with me for supper, my mom would re-heat them for me under the grill. Such simple times, such happy days.

[@BackyardChef]

[@whitebeardskitchen6473]

Well done Rik. Being a Belfast man, they are a heart stopper lol 😂 And the other thing is we mostly have a splattering of salt and malt vinegar to go along with a pastie supper. If you want to be really greedy you can get a Belfast bap, cut it, lather it with butter and put the pastie in that when you bring it home. Super love the video and recipe. Cheap version can be done with a mix of sausage meat too.

[@BackyardChef]

I used to love the burgers and sausages in batter - they were very welcomed when the pennies were down. Mind you, fish and chips 20 years ago a pound - I had some a year ago = wow, a second mortgage! I would dig into that burger, wellington, mate; sounds great. Best, Rik

[@gary637]

You would rarely find a pastie with that much meat...mainly due to cost cutting. Some dodgy ones are dyed pink inside to imply the presense of pork! They are highly seasoned mashed potato (or leftover chips originally) and onion. The seasoning will be top secret, but mainly quite peppery with herbs. You will find some recipe attempts online. Invented to compete with the arrival of the burger chains, so it would have been a pastie bap originally.

Croquettes? i was thinking the same thing. My mother would buy them @ the butcher shop they were called ‘mock drumsticks’ or “mock birds” they were made from chicken or veal (very expensive nowdays for. veal I never see it ). meat seasoned like sausage ,molded on a wooden stick, breaded and deep fried or pan fried. . i am intrigued by battered and deep fried recipes espcially you mention hamburger patties.. or ‘chicken fried” i have never mastered how to deep fry with good results and not making a big mess. Rik, you make it look easy!! My mother had an electric deep fryer with a basket in the 1950’s..i had one in 1968, , but it took so long to get the oil hot and bring it back to hot after frying a few pieces.. probably need a better brand..anybody have a suggeston for the US? .

Those chips remind me of my childhood peeling and cutting up spuds to deep fry them in dripping(which would be be used over and over) here in Tasmania!

What the hell is a centimeter? Can't you say 1/4 inch?

[@BackyardChef]

You just did, I don't need to. Thanks

[@catswambo9706]

Thank you for using cm, Rik, its the only measurement I grew up with but if I come across inches I always use my phone app as all smart people do.

[@markmanc-zw3td]

​@@catswambo9706😁 in school we started with inches , moved to metric , got an apprenticeship & used US machinery =inches , then after that back to metric crazy or what ?

I WOULD KILL FOR A BOWL OF DUBLIN CODDLE AND SOME SODA BREAD RIGHT NOW RIK. You are reviving a lot of memories for me. Those Pasties were smashing mate. I really enjoyed them. I have just made me some Lorne Sausage which I will have for breakfast in the morning. It is now 8.06 pm here in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and I am going to go hit the sack before I rturn into a pumpkin. Talk to you soon Laddie. *Slàinte!*

[@BackyardChef]

Take it steady! This place smells fantastic. Best, Rik

Having lived in Norn Iron until the 80's and still visiting to see family, I've never seen or heard of these. Clearly not as popular is some areas as in others.

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks for sharing. It does sound that way if you have missed seeing them. Many Chip shops serve them and have been serving them for a very long time. Best, Rik

[@scented-leafpelargonium3366]

@sameebah : Many people not born in Northern Ireland will go into a fish & chip shop and not notice the word "pastie" on the menu, or assume they are like the English "Cornish Pasty" in pastry, and so they can be easily missed without knowing about them, but they are widespread throughout Northern Ireland. The closest thing I saw in England to them was a battered beefburger, which was half as appealing. They were originally a leftover dish.

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks for sharing, I agree. They were widespread when I was there all those years ago. I'm pleased they are still available everywhere. Best, Rik@@scented-leafpelargonium3366

It's a paStie, not a pattie, it's made using BOTH pork and beef and MASHED potato. The moisture from your grated spud has left the mix soggy. You didn't season your batter...jeeezus. This isn't even close. 30% meat max.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you for sharing. It does sound like Patty. I have no teeth. You can't hear the s I have listened to! Must be regional differences, Mashed potato would be better. Best, Rik

[@catswambo9706]

Wow some people aren't kind. Thank you for doing it a healthier way Rik

[@BackyardChef]

There are many. Most get deleted from the channel Full Stop! Others, I leave to show what rubbish is posted by folks having to watch someone else cook. I never make any comment on another channel if I don't like the recipe. However, I have cooked professionally. It's just not done - why? Not any two people cook the same, even with the same ingredients. That's this world we live in - everyone is quick to moan! No worries, eh! There are folks like you who make my day! Thank you. Best, Riik@@catswambo9706

[@Knockseekfind]

Why is there so many ignorant people telling cooks their not doing it right going by his name is enough in Northern Ireland ignore him Rick looks delicious 😋

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. There are many versions. Making a version the majority can make always drags the aggressive, bad-mannered armchair warriors out. They all complain it's not their way! I take no notice mostly; cooking is about taste and adjustment. We all like different. Thank you. Best, Rik@@Knockseekfind

Bloody hell rik you put big chunks of pasty in your mouth and hardly chewed them before swallowing like a snake. I was concerned about your health!

That is NOT a Northern Ireland pasty ...How can you claim that??? Look at the state and colour?? Ask me for the proper recipe

[@dandycat2204]

Can I have the proper recipe, please Jennifer? Seriously. I love regional dishes of the UK. Many thanks.

[@BackyardChef]

If you have a different version, Jennifer, and you are willing to share, please do so. That would be fantastic. This is definitely how I was shown in the chip shop. Best, Rik
