I was just going to post that these reminded me of Cornish Pasties. I grew up in Northern California's "Gold Country", which has many influences of the Cornish miners that came to the area during the Gold Rush. A great friend of the family made these pasties at the end of Deer Season and always added Venison to the mixture, along with beef (and some extra fat, since Venison is very lean). Reading this recipe reminds me of those Pastie "pies". I'll see if I can coax a recipe out of the folks back home and post it. Good Stuff, Thanks so much for bringing back those memories :) Thanks, Dave, we'll look forward to seeing the recipe. If you can, post it on our community site, OK? That way it'll be easy for everyone to find. PJH
