Paste (food)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Paste is a small pastry produced in the state of Hidalgo in central Mexico and available in the surrounding area. Pastes are stuffed with a variety of fillings including potates and ground beef, apples, pineapple, sweetened rice, or other typical Mexican ingredients, such as tinga and mole. Pastes are considered typical local cuisine.
[edit] History
The Paste has its roots in the Cornish Pasty, introduced by miners and builders from Cornwall, United Kingdom who were contracted in the towns of Mineral del Monte and Pachuca in Hidalgo.
