A corner stone of state street and wisconsin culinary repertoire. (please don't call it a hot pocket)
The meat goes on top. Meat juices drip on onion. Meat+Onion juices drip on absorbant potato. All of it is wrapped in a braided pastry pocket. Genius! (and genius that Teddywedgers has spared us the traditional rutabaga.)
The pasty stays hot for a long time. Lore says welsh miners supposedly stuffed these "pies" down their shirts to stay warm and ate them for lunch. (I do not recommend sticking food beneath your underlayers while at work)
Among the variations they offer, by far my favorite is the breakfast pie (Canadian Bacon, eggs, cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms and Italian sausage). It is almost so good that I sometimes want to break my grad school routine and wake-up for breakfast.
