Aren’t all sandwiches handheld? Are you eating your sandwiches with a fork and knife?

Don’t look like pasties or sandwich. Those are empanadas mi amiga.

I have to say what makes a pastie a pastie are the traditional ingredients. These are meat pies, handheld. A pie is assembled and cooked. A feel like a sandwich is assembled, and maybe heated, but all the components are already cooked.

Not a sandwich but I’ll take 1 of each with a coke please!
The crust was sometimes made to be tossed bc of how dirty the miners hands were.

Calzones, empanadas, meat pies,pierogies…any folded dough treat falls under “dumpling” in my mind.

A pasty is a calzone which is a pierogi which is a dumpling which is a sandwich. I will not be elaborating further

These are hand pies. Pasties are beef and potatoes in a dough. It’s actually a requirement that they taste like nothing and are awful. Yours look delicious AF.

I just learned of the “Turnover” category in which this would fit, it is a subcategory of pie in which things like Pasties, Empanadas, curry puffs and Böreks live. It is a delicious subcategory but it is definitely not a sandwich.
